Re: Why not

Try drawing a small piece in a medium you haven’t tried before.

Hmm, ya know I need to take you up on that, let me think of a good medium I’d like to try…

Art aside, what draws you to furry fandom?

There is something more imaginative about anthropomorphics, it also allows so much creativity with all the possibilities one can create in story and artwork.

Re: me next;)

1) yes it has been _way_ too long since I’ve seen you, too. But after the last year or so, I have no idea if I’m coming or going or even if I’m fit company for anyone outside of my immediate family. Family illnesses & deaths take a real toll on you.
2) Let’s see, Dan just turned _28_ yesterday, Neko is 25 going on 26. yes, I am _that_ old;) They still live at home, but are planning to move to a house with the kid I think of as my “third son” (Paul) because he has been here a lot – great kid at the beginning of May…..Both work in a pharmacy, Neko works in the same pharmacy as I do, Dan works for the same company, another location. Kimba is still a tech writer, still not really thrilled about it, but is doing fine. So far (knock on wood), no more kidney stones or stomach flus for a while. And me? I still am a medical records tech, not too thrilled about the company and wondering what the next move should be.
3) orange & white work
4) well, thank you.
5) it was either chocolate cake or milky wonder cake, I don’t remember which…which reminds me I got to make a cake for my youngest sister….
6) 🙂
7) I haven’t looked at the ALF group in ages – after I had a hissy fit & left, I got sucked into working a _whole_ lot of overtime on a startup pharmacy. _never_ again_. I can’t really say I’m part of furry fandom to any real extent. I did just adopt some Australian sheep (all the babies were adopted by Angelina Jolie;))
Kimba maintains his Kimba website, which, of course is about Kimba the white lion & some other feline related movies (“Two Brothers”, “Christian the Lion”).
*wow* what in the world happened in all this time, besides big chunks of life throwing us for a curve?

1. it’s amazing to me how many ways that’s true… the funny thing is, there are still some pretty fundamental differences that we bump into all the damn time. i think we’ve just been lucky enough that both of us are willing to do the hard work of learning to live with each other well – or at least functionally – anyway. (it helps that it’s so worth the effort…)

2. heh. the funny thing is, i do that almost every weekend… it’s my primary way to unwind.

7. don’t know about "ever", but it’s not at all on my radar right now. if we have kids, then sure, for legal purposes… but i don’t see the point, otherwise. personally, i don’t need god, government, or society to validate my relationship. m. and i have a commitment to each other, and that’s all that matters to me…

(I didn’t forget about you! 🙂

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
You and Mike seem to be perfect matches for one another.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Take an hour one weekend, and just sit, relax, and read a non-work-related book 🙂

3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you.
A very vivid blue

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
Your irrepressible energy!

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
I think we first met at an Elvegast meeting, back when Kevin was seneschal? Man, that’s a long time ago…

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
Definitely a ferret 🙂

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
Will marriage ever be on your mind, or are you happier with how things are now?

(I didn’t forget about you! 🙂

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
You’ve got a weird sense of humor, and I would enjoy spending more time around you to get to appreciate it.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Come to Wuffmeet!

3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you.
Yellow. ‘Cause of that screaming yellow car of yours.

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
Again, that weird sense of humor.

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
I’ll have to go with clearest memory, ’cause I can’t remember when the heck we met. You sketching away in the Hyatt lobby while Quasi was at an MFF staff meeting.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
Rabbit, but in a very different way from Brian (above)

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
How did you and Quasi first meet?

Re: Why not

(I didn’t forget about you! 🙂

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
I was surprised, but glad, to see you at the party at our place last month.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Try drawing a small piece in a medium you haven’t tried before.

3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you.
Dark purple

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You seem like someone who stands by their friends.

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Duckon 1998, I believe it was. I think you were in that freezing-cold Artists Alley there.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
Gotta go with the bunny 🙂

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
Art aside, what draws you to furry fandom?

Re: me next;)

(I didn’t forget about you! 🙂

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
It’s been too darned long since I saw you!

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Write a general update on your family; it’s been too long since we heard how Kimba and your sons are doing 🙂

3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you.
Orange and white stripes, though more like a tabby than a tiger

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
You’re a very caring and generous person.

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
I believe the first time we met was at Albany Anthrocon in 1998. I was invited up to your room to try some tasty baked goods.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
Feline, though varying between tiger and domestic cat

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
Are you and Kimba still active in any part of furry fandom?

(I didn’t forget about you! 🙂

1. I’ll respond with something random about you.
Keep the goatee. It looks good on you.

2. I’ll challenge you to try something.
Let’s try a different spin on this: I challenge you to try a 2006 Marquis-Phillips Shiraz and tell me what you think.

3. I’ll pick a color that I associate with you.
Brown, like elbow patches on a sport jacket 😉

4. I’ll tell you something I like about you.
When MFF gets a bit crazy, it’s always pleasant to stop by Ops and chat with you.

5. I’ll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
Wow. I think it was maybe at MFM…2000? I saw you in the dealers room there.

6. I’ll tell you what animal you remind me of.
I can see badger, but I’m more inclined to go for bear.

7. I’ll ask you something I’ve always wanted to ask you.
After living so long in Florida, are you sure you want to consider braving Snow Belt winters again?

I think it would definitely depend on the environment. In some situations, a strict 9-5, not so much. But if the company we’re a little more laid back I’d be all about it. Ideally, I want a professional job that you can wear jeans and a shirt to.
