3. I love watermelon. A lot.
4. Being imaginative, silly, sensitive, odd, and playful are my favorite qualities about myself.
5. When someone makes me aware of the amazing, weird, and creepy things the inside of my body does, I get stuck in a fit of laughter.

I like it when folks approach me. It would be fun if someone sees something in this list and feels inspired to start up conversation. Discussions and talks are always welcome!

I'm a coyote! 'Nuff said!

Though, if I HAD to say more, I'd say I have some of the best friends ever. There are some good people in my life, and they are very precious to me. Anyone who's a friend to this 'Yote has gold in their hearts! (Still trying to figure a way of extracting it... *cough*)

Well, this Hyena has something pretty silly about him! Blood, lungs, epidermis, phalanges... hearing these words makes me giggle! I can't help it most of the time! You get me thinking about how the heart beats inside me, how my lungs inflate, or how *snorts* I have cartilage! Then I laugh uncontrollably! At least I'm a hyena with the best hyena laugh!

Something I've learned these last few years was to see what scares me in life, and chase after it.

Lately I've fallen into a rut with my personal growth. I've made huge leaps in my life, but my development has become stagnant. For whatever reason, I couldn't figure out what I was doing (or not doing) wrong. Then, I realized that I was no longer fighting my fears. I was coping, but not adapting. I stopped learning and growing.

While in therapy, one of the lessons I learned was that to heal what's hurt you, you have to reintroduce yourself to your trauma. Similarly, I realized the best way (for me at least) to progress in my life was to address what scared me.

If I felt shy to talk to someone, I forced myself to speak up. When I was't sure if I wanted to brave a new activity, I made myself experience it. Most of my choices these last few years have been ones that I was terrified of. As a result, my life has been so much more rewarding. I've tried new foods, talked with people that I never thought would even see me, and learned a lot about myself.

The biggest fear for me now though, is opening up. Everyone that knows me locally knows me for my laugh, my silliness, and maybe as a fun guy to play games with. Unfortunately, I dont think many people have really gotten to see everything I offer. I've not really presented it.

It's terrifying to me to talk about my stories. Sharing my thoughts on anything makes me worried about scaring people away. But I know I need to start opening up more. I don't want to be a good acquaintance. I want to be a friend people go to for counsel, for comfort. I want them to see me for the perspective I can yield. I want depth and meaning in my friendships. I know so many wonderful people, and it's such a waste to get myself afraid of them.

And part of this is me being a better friend. Too long I've been scared of letting too many people get too close. Hopefully I can keep relationships going strongly, and begin to flourish in others.

So! Really, this was a journal to kind of let friends know that I may seem awkward a bit for a while. It takes me a moment or few to shake my nerves. If I seem unresponsive, I'm probably coaxing out courage.

And, if anyone ever wants to open up to me about anything, I really want to be better at listening and hearing. I used to be great at helping friends. I want to be that, again.

So I'd really like to go, and I think I could manage it... but I'm uncertain. Who all would I see there?

My world is so different, so much better than it was a month ago. Enough so, that my perspective has changed. Fears and insecurities are forced to take a back seat while I accelerate my life forward. I'm in a new city. I have a new job, new living situation. I have more freedom, happiness, and opportunity than I know what to do with it. I'm happy. Very happy.

I came back to Colorado Springs this weekend to be with family. I'd only been living in Denver for a week. And yet... my home is now Denver. I'm homesick after just two days being away. The friends- the new family I have completely eclipse the family I had. I hate saying that... my ancestral family still loves and cares for me. Even is helping me more than I could ever show proper appreciation towards... but it's different. The friends I have are giving me acceptance, passion, love, peace... a kindness I've never had before. They probably don't realize how much they're doing for me...

I owe all my happiness and opportunity to my friends. Especially Ryoken, Nevir, and Chioxin. Hopefully a chance to reward them, to prove how much I appreciate them, comes. I don't really know what's coming next in my life... but for the first time since I was in Elementary school, I'm not scared to live. I'm excited and happy. I can't wait to go home after this weekend. I have a lot to learn. I need to catch up with the rest of the world. But I'm confident now.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, counseled, and comforted me. There are some really amazing, special people I know. I hope you all know how special and amazing you are.

I'm moving my FableCoyote content over here. Less hassle and more attention, maybe. Fair warning : P

I had recently bought a new laptop and had it for about nine months. However, a fan had a screw loose and would go crazy until it overheated the laptop into shutting off on its own. I was going to send it in when after turning on one night, the fan went crazy during boot up. It turned off during it's boot up. I turned it back on, it needed to restore after being turned off during the boot up. Then the fan went crazy and it shut down while being restored.... Well, it didn't like that and it wouldn't turn on anymore. It would come on then join an endless loop of restarts and shut offs. I sent it in under warranty and got a new one! Yaaaaay!...

Cept they couldn't save any of my files... nothing major like pictures or books were lost but... I did lose some important notes and I lost all the bios for friends' characters for a story. I can't completely remember what I had on there, but I know I lost some story ideas. Little bummed about that, but like I said, nothing serious is lost. But with this brand new laptop void of any writings... I feel like I can start fresh! Hopefully I'll be popping out new stories soon. I still would love to do a piece with friends' characters.

I hate doing these things, but yeah... if people start feeling I'm growing distant or something, it's because life isn't going so great for me. I'm extremely scared about my future and trying to focus my time on things I think can help it.

I'm definitely feeling sorta on the edge of a great collapse. I'm not very strong, skilled, or smart so it's really hard to find esteem in myself or talent in a job. I'm not fully sure what to do or what decisions I should make. Plenty of folks have stepped up to offer an ear or whatever, but truth is, I'm too scared to take anyone up on those offers. I really would like to talk to someone, but a lot that's on me is really deep, hard stuff that tends to scare folks off. Kinda lost and alone, so I've been trying to focus on being solo and doing what I can.

Anyway, I totally don't mean to "vanish" on anyone. I just need to tend to some things and hopefully get my footing again.
