Today is creepy day! I'll explain that later but first I'll describe yesterday since I basically fell asleep before remembering to write a journal. See, yesterday I had an epic blast with :iconOrkekum: playing Saints Row 3 and laughing our asses off are all the grunts, moans and snarls that zombie voice supplies. He had to leave for work eventually though, so after that I continued watching Youtube videos and playing Dragon Age Origins. Also yesterday as I was looking at that one dating site I've been on for months but never got a message, I noticed someone had visited my profile so I went to visit hers and I liked what I saw so I started messaging hers but she was quicker and messaged me first, so we talked for a while. Literally the first thing she asked me what "What kind of games do you play?". I liked her already but as we chatted, things got creepier and creepier (which is a good thing btw). See, we've been chatting on Skype for hours now and literally everything that we mention, we share. We're pretty much the same, except that she has an extra crack and bigger balls in another place. She's a huge gamer (though she's mostly a console gamer while I'm mostly a PC gamer) and her name's Ebony, which is an awesome name 'cause yanno, black. We both like the same kinds of movies, same kinds of music. She doesn't sing nor drink though, but she likes the same animes! Also the biggest surprise of them all is that she doesn't like so-called "modern" art either... and she's a furry! Not serious enough to be on FA or Weasyl (she's on DA), but still what are the odds of finding all these coincidences on a non-furry dating site? But for now, forgive me if my writing seems a bit confused and spazztastic. Tonight I'm celebrating! You see, exactly four years ago, :iconSefam: introduced me to the fandom. Y'see, I had just started college and was being bored in programming class when I saw this guy in the row in front of me drawing a fox. I said "Hey, this looks great!" and he said "Hey, I'm a furry!". So we talked for a while and when I was back home I looked it up and here I am! Also we were best friends for a few years up till we finished computer science back in 2011, then we both parted each our way and never talked to eachother ever again. I have no doubt he's an IT in Quebec City now, as he's always wanted to be. Since I joined the fandom, I've changed from one extreme to the other. I used to be cripplingly shy, never talked to anyone, never smiled, hated everyone including myself. I wanted to die. Since then I've met a lot of awesome people, a few lovers, great friends and I've changed radically. I've become an easygoing, outgoing guy who always manages to make everyone laugh! I'm not shy to speak my mind and instead of memorizing everything I'm gonna say, I just say whatever goes through my head! (for the win) I used to read over 200 pages a day, write books about serious matters like religion and astronomy, and now I avoid books like the plague for fear of getting addicted once again and falling back to my past self that was the mega-genius nihilistic introvert extremist.

Basically, thank you all for making me the one I am today, and here's to another wonderful year! (btw, this bottle of white wine was delicious. It was so strong it was actually brown, and tasted a bit like nuts)

As a special tribute, here's the very first journal I wrote! Feel free to compare how different I seemed back then (and how much of a liar I was)

To whoever has enough time to waste to read this, g' morning, my name's Mikael Goyette, 18 years old, and I've just registered to this forum. I knew I was different from the other "normal" people since I was 16, as the others were in such a hurry to find a boy/girlfriend, and I wasn't even interested. My passion, animals. Weird, the others said, but hey, it's still better than collecting spoons! So I made research on my trusted friend, Google, and finally found out that I was a Furry, but it took until yesterday before I had the courage to accept it and tell my closest friends. So here I am, looking towards meeting other Furries who will help me get from a Wannabe Furry to a full-fledged one (without the fur suit, I'll always be too shy to wear one). I doubt anyone will even read this, as I'm just a random forum member, but who knows, maybe I'll be known someday?

~Ibuuyk, proud to be a Furry~
