I've been to a bowling alley exactly once... I remember because my friend lent me Arcanum that day.
Interesting location

Bowling is fun! Although I admit I like the arcade machines there more than the actual bowling, but it's still fun!
EDIT: But how does one bowl in a fursuit?

Some liberties taken?

Either ball is custom made to accommodate the paws, doing it granny style, or using that thing that handicapped people use when they bowl. Though it's mostly doing granny style from what I saw at the meet.

So someone is trying to make a Wolf O'Donnell week in FA because he's not in Smash 4. Not that I need to participate, since I already did my dues.

I don't even bother to try to express it. I just kind of...well, being "there". It's hard to explain, though.
I don't even actively seek out any sort of recognition.

There's always other media to work with if you have the inclination. I like to write and occasionally roleplay, myself, and if you're musically talented that's an option too.
I think my best advice is to socialize, which is funny because I'm basically the world's biggest introvert. If I'm going through a period where my feeling of "otherness" is exceptionally strong, I find that talking with other furries tends to re-center me and calm me down. I feel comfortable taking the leash off around folks who think like I door who can at least sympathize with those kinds of thoughts, even if they might not share them to the same degree. Conventions or meetups can be awesome for this, too, depending on your tolerance for crowds.

Someone tweeted me about this Kemono fursuit maker over in Japan today, who is also now taking English commissions. Their stuff looks nice

I think this one is adorable :3

If only it were possible to wear a suit all day without repercussions.
I've been thinking of maybe trying writing some stories, but there's so many things that I've started writing and never finished...
That's the fursona of RadyWolf, the one who made that suit. They do great work, and indeed have an adorable fursona. (Quotes make images smaller.)

Oh man, join the club. ^^; You should give it a shot anyway! I'd love to check out whatever you come up with, even if it's incomplete.
I thought something about the suit looked familar. I found out that I have actually liked some of his youtube videos about moving fursuit eyes / jaw.
Edit: If I ever want a fursuit at some point in the future, I think I know who to buy from :3
First I'll have to finish and actually type up the things I've already got started. Maybe this weekend.
It'll probably be very expensive, but then again, they all are.

Here's the prices for suit commissions from their website
Full Suit (Digitigrade): Starting at $2,700
Full Suit (Plantigrade): Starting at $2,300
Half-Suit: Starting at $1,700
Head only: Starting at $800
Realistic Head only: Starting at $900
And they require a 50% deposit if you do want a commission from them
This doesn't include a few other things to consider, like paypal fees for transferring money to them for payments, shipping of the DTD(Duct-Tape Dummy) to them and of the fursuit to you (Via EMS).
I'm gonna say that while yes that's pretty expensive, but generally if you want a good suit you are gonna have to pay at least a bit more to have one made. And generally from what I've heard from other furs I've chatted with your gonna get a lot of millage out of the suits in how long they last when your usually paying that much for a suit.
They are on my radar in terms of fursuit makers I am interested of maybe getting a suit made from, others are Made Fur You and MixedCandy, but we'll see

It does make me wonder about this - should I ever get an outfit, I'd probably opt for something less suit-y and something more...hmm, maybe a hoodie or kigu will do... (I don't really like the idea of a suit.)
I have a bunny ears hat and a belt-looped tail and it is exactly as bunny as I need to be.
And I can wear it out in public without being too weird. :3
I think a hat with ears, and maybe a tail would be ok for me. Was also a bit interested in something like paw warmers because they seem kinda cute to me (and maybe fine to wear around college in winter):
yeah you could wear those winter time no problem.
also unrelated but that new null is certainly something...
Cute Dragon Here

Heh, warmers...I've never tried any one of them, seeing as I live someplace where it's simply not necessary. These would probably be used as something for personal enjoyment if they were given to me.
I'm also not quite going for a fuzzy look, either way.

Embarrassed just watching that :/
On a similar note to that, I sometimes get weirded out / embarrassed watching videos of people fursuiting at places, even if the suits are adorable. What about you guys?
yes. But I find most awkward videos difficult to watch.

Hmm...it's been a while since this iteration of the thread was created. How did you guys end up here, anyway?
Just googled "Neogaf furry" one day to see if there was any furry-related stuff here. Was interested because there was a furry thread on Battlelog (which is actually where I happened to meet my partner).

Heh.
At least...well, mine's kinda...strange. Check my past thread history for further details. It's still something that I kind of need to shake off my general perception...but I guess I really feel like that.
Not sure what to look for specifically tbh, aside from a lot of the pokemon threads.
I've lurked the unofficial previous thread, when this one was created, I decided to post.
This might be what he meant, at least mostly.

I did see a few posts similar to that one too. I'm sure there's plenty of people though that have a strong desire to be something else only present in fantasy sometimes though, even if they don't voice it; there's so many awesome ideas / concepts that video games and other media introduce that it's hard not to imagine being a part of some of them.

There's a reason why so many people in fantasy fandom have elf costumes and makeup. To the outsider it might not seem like much - just a human with funny ears? But to people into the lore I've found it's pretty significant. The elf is still at some fundamental level not human, especially psychologically and culturally.
But it's all natural. Humans project themselves onto thing that aren't human, looking for commonalities, but people are also stimulated by differences. In my experience, it's related to multiplicity of self; how it's a false belief that everyone only has one true persona. (AKA, the Zuckerberg marketing spiel for Facebook.) Some are just more fluid than others in their identity, and are quite comfortable projecting themselves onto something fantastically different from their external appearance.

Ever changed what you think you would be like during your life? I think I have actually changed things slightly over time.
In fact, things didn't really start out with that thread - things actually got themselves going a few more years before that. Sometimes I dreamed, then wanted to be something rather more like a crocodile than something draconic, but still anthropomorphic.
(I'm on the phone.)

Yes, definitely.
As usual, you manage to say all that is needed to be said about this point. (I'd like to say that that Facebook spiel is why I'm not fond of the site, but it's actually just because I just can't bother using it.
)EDIT:
For sure, and in so many fields. Not always slightly, as well.

Speaking of changing what I want to be, to be honest, I think I have managed to change a lot of life goals. Who knows what will change again in the future.
Things probably won't stay in the same state forever, I think. Sometimes I just have to let things go to make way for new things. That is when you realize that you try to cling onto certain things for a very long time. Far too long...
Sorry for going on a personal tangent here.

I feel like I change too much over time for my own good. My interests keep changing; I wanted to be an engineer in high school, a neuroscientist a few years ago, and now that I nearly have a degree in Biochemistry, I dunno if I would even want to be in a lab :/

I used to want to deal with architecture. Now I'm going on a Computer Science course. Guess I really liked computer-y stuff in the end.
I have a friend that went from being a mechanic to learning computer science stuff. Given my obsession with computer hardware for the last year or two, I might be headed in that direction too :/
Back on the topic of perhaps being something other than a human, I'm well aware that I'll always be human, but I've had a few phases in which I had become fixed on something that I thought represented my "inner self" (the collection of my thoughts and feelings, rather than my physical form), which in my case happened to be a female anthro fox representing my inner self (much to my bf's dismay), although such a thing would only ever be the product of fantasy. I guess that's why all my interest in career options played some role, direct or indirect, in technology related to VR, so that maybe we humans can experience our fantasies as if they were realities; hopefully at some point in my lifetime.

I am just wondering how to make them...workable in terms of computer graphics.
On another topic, I think the ad networks are onto me being a furry...

I always thought I'd work in the technological field for sure, but am beginning to rethink it this days. Maybe it's because I'm currently studying the side of it I hate, or maybe it's something else.
There were times were I also wanted the world to be vastly different in that regard, although not for myself.

Ads usually scan the page and display ones compatible with keywords it finds.

It does make you feel a bit creeped out when when you know why it happens.
Sometimes I just like things the way things are right now, and actively try to ensure it stays that way. Apparently it doesn't applies to my wishes! (That might be a good thing.)
I still wonder if I will somehow end up with a career choice that is completely unrelated...

I'll be there, heading up today to check-in into the hotel.
I started checking out FA for like the first time ever recently. It seems like the more I look at furry stuff though, the more tempted I am to get even more involved in the community, but I don't know any irl furries, nor do I have any sort of accessories aside from a hat with fox ears (that I'm already too shy to wear).
