Oh, a questionnaire, how could I resist? ;-) On Sun, 01 Oct 2000 23:08:05 GMT, Direwolf wrote: >Conventions: Do you attend conventions? If so, which ones and are any >furry conventions? Only some European or German cons: so far Eurofurence 4 to 6, Mephit Mini Con two and three, and a couple of furmeets. >Would you attend a convention that was not furry? Of course, I actually _do_ attend several Amateur Radio fairs and conventions, I used to attend youth nature conservation congresses... My style of life is furry in a way -- but I'm not obsessed about it, um, well, at least I've other interests as well. ;-) >Is going to conventions important for your expressing and feeling >furry? Going to furry cons in fact is important for me. I feel furry without them, but being around folks who do understand my feelings is very comforting. > Do you wear a fursuit to conventions? Not yet (*still* working on it, will take even longer now that I have a real job), but I do wear a tail. >Would you recommend going to conventions to others? Absolutely! >If so, which conventions and why? Depends on which part of the world you're living, doesn't it? >What do you do at conventions? Meet friends, talk a lot, trying to gather costume building tricks, relax... Best thing are the discussions at 3 AM... >Do you actually cook? Sometimes... >Do you like your food rather simple and plain or complex? Depends -- I like both styles... >Spicy, bland, or in between? Spicy! Um... I'm getting hungry, I'll skip the following questions on this topic, okay? ;-) >Names: Is your real name furry in any way? Hmm, my first name is a short form for 'George' which supposedly translates to 'man of the land', my last name translates to 'rider'. Well, at least it has something to do with the outskirts. ;-) >Have you or might you legally change your name to something that >better expresses your furry nature? No, it wouldn't be possible in Germany anyway, but I don't see any reason for it either. >The screen name you use on alf, why did you choose it? It just describes the area I'd like to live in if I was an actual wolf (um, about 800 years ago, Central Europe is too crowded now.) >Do you think there is power in a name? No, it's just a name. I don't think wolves give each other names either. ;-) -- o'wolf http://poboxes.com/owolf I used to be a werewolf but I'm better now--ooooooow! ;-)
