For Animals, They certainly are Humane.

That is to say, The Study of Furries, Part I

Akir Comes up suddenly, drawing as much breath as he can. After a while, he speaks:

Thank god! I have been stuck in windows forever, all in the interests of keeping my home in Furcadia there! Windows makes everything harder.

Anyways, an update from the land of the furries.

You may wish to sit down.

You're sitting?

Some of them are Superhuman.

Aren't you glad you sat down?
This conclusion has been drawn from a complex line of thought, one that, no doubt, will eventually end up in an insanely long essay.

As I said, it's complex, so it will be one tough job trying to write it down. As the Evil Vanity Fair article (of which almost all furries hate) pointed out, "The world will be bad so long as there are people on it." "Not if they act like animals."

It's times like this if you wonder how much truth there was in the plot of Chrono Cross....

In this first part of The Study of Furries, I will discuss the beginning stage of becoming a furry.


Beginning the Transformation - The Thoughts

For most people, the desire to be a fuzzy is - oddly enough - a desire to fit in. You will find that most furrys are dorks, wierdos, or generally queer (as in 'strange' - not 'homo!'). It seems obvious that this desire is caused by the already existant basic desire to blend in with the crowd. To be 'in the pack.'

For the yiffers out there, the general thought is that animals are comforting. These unfortunate souls have been traumitized - usually in a sexual manner - and have turned to what the adults - Parents specifically - have given them to comfort them through the hard times that babies and toddlers usually go through (for things like teething, suffering their first 'boo-boo,' etc.) - that is, Stuffed Animals, Cartoons, And the family pet.


I would like to make it clear on behalf of the furry community that not all furries are yiffers. Isn't it the most disturbing thing in the world when someone thinks that you're a fetish freek? It's the same for furries. Non-Furvert Furries are more than likely furry because of psychological reasons. I have to admit that I don't completely comprehend non-furvert Fursuiters, however, so I assume that they have some kind of psychosis.

It's also noteworthy to say that not all furries are fursuiters. Fursuiters are people who, like some anime otakus, would rather look like someone else then themselves.



for information on why some furrys are superhuman, look out for part two of The Study of Furries.

The land of obsessors

Doing my general patrol of the internet (Doesn't everyone do that?), I came across the most peculiar thing in the world.
Furrys.

Furrys are a rare 'breed' (couldn't resist the joke). They are totally obsessed with anthromorphicicsm (If I spelled that right, I really am a genious). That is, they like animals that have human traits.

WTF!?!?

How do people get absorbed in this kind of thing!?!? Is the regular old dog not good enough any more? Or is it just that 'imaginary animals last longer?'

Whatever the problem (Or in this case, psychosis) is, It interests me. It's just one of those weird things you want to make fun of. Just out of curiosity, I'm going to make my own 'personal furry' as a persona. I've always thought that dogs were my Anima, so why not my totem?

... Yeah, this is just too weird.

Good and bad news

I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I now have time to update this blog.
The bad news is that I installed Windows again.

I know. It's a bad habit. But the good news is that I had installed XP this time. My parents finally decided that they actually did have an installation disk somewhere around here.
But there's more bad news. I think that, through installation, I accidently deleted my "Media" partition of my (hd0) [(hd0,3) to be percise.] (Is it bad that I use GRUB syntax for my labelings?). This may mean that I lost all of my music.

(I'm crying right now. Tomiko, why must you leave me again!)


Don't feel too bad for me. My (hd0) isn't the install device that I used, so don't fret.
I still have linux, but I messed it up badly by accident. I will use this oppritunity to make a gentoo distribution - completely compiled, not binary.

I think that I will get a Gensi Pegasos PC in the future. They're well priced at only ~$900 and are really well-powered (1GHz PPC G5 processor with 512MB of memory and an 80GB HDD!), and - best of all - are physically impossible to run windows on. Unless Gates finally lets his jelousy get ahold of him.

Pegasos's link is availible to the title of this post.
