Category: Getting to Know You
So... Thought I should introduce myself here since I can't remember if I've done that before... Anyways, lots of stuff have changed since anyways, so... :)
And now I could just have copy-pasted my profile text, but it's much more fun to write everything again... Heh.
I'm a Danish guy, born in the year of 1994, on the 28.th day in the month february, which makes me 19 years old as I write this. :)
My interests are reading and writing, mostly horror, science fiction, or fantasy, doesn't matter if it's high, low or urban, as long as it's fantasy... It doesn't really have to be one of those genres, I just like reading, so...
Others are science, especially physics, and everything that has to do with space, which is probably why I love listening to music from John D. Boswell (the guy who made Symphony of Science. If you don't know what that is, go youtube it right now, it's epic!).
I also love playing chess, so if you should want to play feel free to message me... I prefer Skype, since I probably won't be that active on here, but anyways... (You can find my Skype name in my profile)
I'm a quite big fan of the series 'His Dark Materials' by Philip Pullman, so if you should share that interest, I'm also open for a talk... Even if you shouldn't I'm still willing to talk with you, I love meeting new people, so. :D
I've considered myself a furry since april 2012, and my fursona is a red fox with the name Storm. He's not really that different from me, since I consider him being just a more animalistic version of myself. In case there are other furballs on here...
*Waves a paw and smiles happily* Hey there! :3
I guess that's all for now... Should you have any questions or comments, just write.
And then I think I'll also try to be more active on here, I've after all been a member for something like 4 years now. Heh.
Da fox is out!
Greetings to the fox, lol, hello and welcome. I like your introduction, I found it amusing. Anyway, Hope you are finding this place interesting so far. By the way, I also like the his dark materials series. I quite enjoyed it.
Take care.
Thank you. :) Yeah, it's a fine little site, I'm sure I'll enjoy it...
Just hope I can keep my promise and stay active. Lol! Well, there seems to be a nice little forum on here, so I'll probably use that... Not to mention the games, though I've already tried a few back when I created my account. :)
Hi alex, I loved your introduction. Considering most are vague, this was interesting to read as well. I'm jodeci by the way, so nice to meet you. I hope you stay true to your promise. lol
anyways have a nice day.
Well, feel free to ask questions if you want to know something, I'll gladly answer. :D
Oh, and nice to meet you too!
Welcome aboard.
And, what is a Furry? Some sort of fantasy reenactment? Is this just online or do people do characters in real life? Anyway welcome aboard, and that furry bit just came out of left field so thought I would just ask, since you put it out there.
Well, there are at least two definitions of the word "furry".
1. An animal with human characteristics, like it's able to talk, it's walking on two legs, or it's having human intelligence.
2. A member of a fandom about those animals. In this fandom most people find an animal that somehow fits their personality and build a personal character, called a fursona (furry persona) that represents them in the fandom.
What caught my interest when I heard about this fandom was the identification with animals, which I've had an interest in since I read 'The golden compass' the first time. Some furries have a quite personal relation to their fursona, while others might just have chosen it because they like the animal. There are just as many definitions of what a furry is as there are members in the fandom.
I can highly recomment you looking up the three-part documentary "Furries - An Inside Look" on YouTube, it's awesome, and gives a quite fair picture of what it's about.
For those who are lazy I'll just go and post the links anyway... Lol!:

I'll do my best to answer any other questions, should you have some. :) Though I've only been in that fandom for a little more than a year. Heh.
Hmm, guess I should tell a bit about my own choice of fursona species... That'll be in a later post, then, it's quite late here, and I need to get up in about four hours. Lol!
Take care!
Okay... Got some more time now. :)
Well, I've always liked both cats and foxes, so I knew that it probably would be one of those. The cat is too endependent to fit my personality (at least I think so), so I ended up chosing the fox. Besides that, I've always thought that foxes act a bit feline, even though they definitely are canines... Or canids... Or what ever. :D
I've let him have cat eyes, though, so I guess there is a bit feline in my fursona after all.
And well, at least I like to think that some of the keywords on this page are descriping my personality... Lol!

At least it's interesting to read.
So yeah, guess that's what I had to say about that for now.
Very interesting intro. it's cool because it's original. Have an awesome time!

Don't think the furry thing is my cup of tea, but interesting... I guess.
