*cough*
Hey everyone, so today was somewhat eventful and i made a rather big decision for myself which has been so great and such a relief. :3
I was talking to my mum telling her about last night:
last night i was celebrating my friend's birthday and he's one of my best friends who i barely see.
We were having a great time, messing around and having a few drinking games...notably "save the queen" (placing a coin, mostly a £1 coin in a friend's drink. You have to down the drink to prevent her from drowning) which i had to do the most; shouldn't have told him about that squadie/forces drinking game. I still won though hehe :P
Anyways a few people kept looking over at us from the bar and some smiled but I didn't think anything of it.
When my friend 'dragged' me up to the dance floor to dance with me even more eyes fell upon us (yes it looked...curious)
We ended up dancing with a woman and then sitting down to speak to her and her friend.
They both thought me and my friend were a couple! :O And what's strange is this has happened before. :')
Now, as i said this and somewhat rambled on my mum said "Is this leading up to something, is there something you want to tell me?" at which point i was speechless. Now i had talked to a few friends and my friend last night about 'coming out' and thought now i may as well...so i did, i thought fuck it!
I admitted to my mum that i was bisexual...something i had thought about for sometime. What's more is she didn't seem bothered.
Later, i told my dad and he didn't care either! I was in such a shock, i wondered why i had worried for so long and what for... how could i have been so stupid and not trust my own family?
We shared a load of jokes, especially my dad which just made it greater.
Later, i sat down and couldn't believe id finally done it; i kept thinking of how much of a fool i had been.
When i talked to my mum again she asked me "Do you feel better now hun?" at which point i just couldn't hold back, i am one to put up a 'manly' defiant front as if nothing bothers me but it failed and as i teared up my mum rushed over and hugged me... which made me brake down in tears.
These were simply tears of relief and joy, it was so amazing. I couldn't stop as my mum kept saying of how much she loved me and that i didn't have to worry.
I then saw my dad and hugged him, my mum's orders (lol), and we simply shared a laugh as he said something that he had always told me: he always loved me no matter what and that i was his best friend...
I then had my lunch and i thought about it. I went on to facebook and mentioned that i had done one of the hardest things I've had to do and that it went alright. I ended up having to explain what i meant and the response was... unbelievable. I had messages of support from people i hadn't spoken to in years and those that id never imagine would accept me. What a fool i felt i was again...and what joy i felt.
So that's pretty much what the big thing was that i did today...
I guess no matter how strong or defiant of your own emotions you try to be, you can't control how you truly feel... To cry is not weakness but a different kind of strength...acceptance; we are all human. Almost echoing the words of a good friend, a bishop, from when i was away.
However you view this journal or what i have done is up to you.
I simply thought it best to be part of a journal.
Hope you all understand :)

My First Furmeet
General | Posted 12 years agoSo yesterday i attended my first ever furmeet, or for that matter my first real interaction with furries away from the internet. It was one of the SCOUSEFURS' monthly meets and being from the area i just had to go down and have a look; being in contact with one of the administrators and a friend who had been to a few before helped me find what information i needed to attend.
What i thought about it was... IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
Although being new to the fandom and the group in general i didn't know what to expect at first and to be honest pointing out a Furry in the middle of a train station was hard enough as most people wear anything...
Thank you for the badges and the curious glances of Tribal (admin) that caught my attention however and helped me find them :P
Before we hit the venue the admins/staff and everyone there were so friendly and inviting, already sharing a laugh and getting to know people. I was surprised that it wasn't much of a local meet in the sense of everyone being well local...no, there where people who lived locally here but also from various parts of the country and even the Netherlands! A veteran of the furry world heading down all that way was amazing, and so was his fursuit.
There was such a good turnout, which surprised me further seeing only pictures of a few roughly 10+ but here, even as the day was young we had probably 25+ and then when we hit the venue that increased further! i really wouldn't know the exact number as so much was happening.
So, at the venue, well you could say the furries controlled the majority if not the entire bar which again amazed me. The venue itself was very nice, the food and drink was great, my first time at the bar too.
At the venue the staff had put on so much, there was a raffle for prizes, home made cakes (which were lovely and tasty) artist tables for badges and things(great artwork) and so many photographers. The money raised was also aimed at a particular charity which i thought was great also, the charity in particular i don't think i found out.
FURSUITS. Right yes i... I have never been around a fursuit and i didn't expect many. BUT yesterday there were a good number of about 10 and they were amazing! I have never smiled so much and said the words "so cute" or "im dying from the cuteness" so much before (hardly what people would imagine of me or someone from ex service or whichever). I of course got the privilege to hug these amazingly made fursuits and was even at various points (partly being new and the suiters seeing me dying from their cuteness) set upon by them and group hugged!
There was one point, which id love to see the photos of, that i hugged one of the suiters (fang) and he happened to lift me up, carrying me around which by a tall red/white wolf was a very new thing to me especially as i couldn't stop laughing.
I truly had an amazing time, it was so much fun!
I'd recommend it to anyone and i'd absolutely love to go again!
Definitely want a suit and to attend a convention.
Thank to all those who attended and made it fantastic :)
