. . . and welcome to my little corner of organized choas. The main purpose of this site, (and not to sound cliche), is to express myself in my own way - on my own terms and to basically provide a little window into my mind. Yes, I am well aware that this site may be small and insignificant and there are plenty of fur sites that offer more features and more in-depth resources, but if it's all the same, I would like to think that this is still a place where furs can, well . . . be themselves.
Now, before I go off into a wild tagent, it might be best for me to briefly explain what being "furry" is all about for those who are interested but not all familiar to the fandom. To sum it up, a furry is one who has an appreciation for all that is furry - but this is not specifically limited to just one aspect. For some, being furry is all about the art. These furs will often times attend fur conventions and spend their entire time browsing throught various art work, purchasing their favorties and returning home. Nothing more, nothing less. For others, it is a bit more involved. They might perceive this as an oppertunity to openly express their personality which may have within it, certain anthropomorphic elements - much the same way one who is into science fiction might attend a Star Trek convention and, if only for one day, act the roll of their favorite character. But of course, this is open for dedate for as different as we all are, our own ideas will vary accordingly. If there is anything you would like to add, please feel free to email me, ([email protected]). I always welcome suggustions.
As for me, I have been furry all of my life - this is who I am and damn proud of it. I suppose it began when I was a small child who, all the while, felt "different" - almost as if I wasn't supposed to be here. I spent years gazing into my mirror trying to figure out who I was. I knew that on the out side I was human, (obviously), but deep within the recesses of my psysical being, I knew I was not. It wasn't until recently that my dear friend Miguel, who is a trained and practicing psychiatrist, brought me into the light and for the first time ever, I knew without a doubt what I was. Succinctly speaking, being furry for me is not a childhood fantasy gone a wary or a psychotic delusion brought on by some repressed memory, but is simply a deep - quite spiritual - connection to the animal representing me.
