Baaaa.
Blizzard was very helpful in getting me my WoW account back. Yeah, someone broke into it, but since my account was inactive, they weren't able to do anything but change my email and password. The only way they were able to do this without me knowing though is likely breaking into my email account itself, so that password's changed as well.
Hopefully that's the last I hear of this. |

I haven't posted in a while. Guess I might as well.
It's been really difficult getting my life put back together after getting beaten and robbed while on the job.
The computer's pretty much fried, it seems. A new one should be arriving tomorrow, which is good, because I'll need it for college. Which, by the way, due to several ridiculous issues related to wallet loss, I was unable to register for this quarter. Go figure.
My WoW account appears to have somehow gotten its password and email address changed without my consent. Yeah, wanted so desperately to play with a couple of friends, even had someone offer to give me a couple months of gametime, but... not much I can do unless Blizzard gives me my account back.
My foot's been really nasty lately. It's hard to walk and stand sometimes, and it's getting to the point that I don't know if I can cope with another job that has me on my feet. This is really cutting into my employment options.
Otherwise... hmm. I'm alive. My relationship with Icefox has been pretty solid lately, though we're having issues related to intimacy largely thanks to trauma I went through toward the end of 2002. I'm hoping with time I can heal, but it's so very difficult.Current Mood:  sick |

If that actually happened to me, I wouldn't be able to use the name I choose because I've already said it on here! So... Hah! I'm not telling!

Ohhhhh my goodness. Check this out. The amazingly talented Ness drew a picture of my fursona. I'm so incredibly happy with this and grateful to him.

Well. After five months of pulling my fur out, applying all over and getting nothing for it...
I finally have a job interview. Donato's wants me as a delivery driver. Hopefully I give a good enough impression, and... they allow me to work even though I'm having a little bit of a minor crisis with my main car, having to borrow a second until it gets worked out. |
| » Fendras, and Meat Loaf |
|---|
Yep. I'm Fendras. I'm sick of constantly going back and forth for the past several months about whether or not to start calling myself that, so I made my decision. :)
In other news, I'm cooking meat loaf! It's soooo good! But I don't have any onion prepared, and I'm feeling too lazy to chop or grate some, so I'm trying garlic instead. My roommate and I like garlic, so it might work.

| » Furry Names |
|---|
What's in a furry name? I mean, it's... something we create for ourselves. For some people, it's unique, others pick something familiar. Some include their species in their furry name, others don't. And then, I guess, some people get really attached to the name they created as a part of their identity. And some people... never grow very attached to it at all.
I don't like Lander that much. It's never really felt like 'me'. Yet, I've been using it since 2002, mostly because I couldn't think of anything better at the time. People have come to know me as Lander, but I've never been satisfied with that name.
That being said... I've been using Fendras as my screen name in a lot of places for a long time. It's pretty unique to me for what I've seen for the most part, it's a name I identify with strongly, and... I'm just so very attached to it.
What if I dropped Lander in the furry circle, started going by Fendras like I want to? Would that really cause so many problems, or could people just get used to it like they did when I switched to using my middle name in real life?

For some reason, I'm getting this crazy idea that I'm actually somewhat decent at being artistic. So I've been actually submitting stuff onto my FurAffinity account. Lately I've been experimenting with 200x200 mouse-drawn portraits, because hey, it's FUN to use a mouse!
So uh. I'm at http://www.furaffinity.net/user/lander/ if anyone's morbidly curious.
EDIT: Fixed the link. It was REALLY late when I posted that. :)

BEEEEEH! How did I forget to post about this?!
I've totally got this Loki (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) electroloki) fellow hanging out at my place. Yeah, he's British and visiting a few of us American furries. It's been a blast! I've been having a lot of fun. And as usual, I've been taking him out to eat at various American restaurants, because I get a kick out of introducing someone to restaurants they've never been to.
If you like comedy, look up Tim Minchin. Holy bovine, he's incredible. He's a pianist and singer, too. WOW.

| » High Quality Furry Art |
|---|
Bwehhhhh, I've been a mountain goat now for a while! Journal name ought to change to reflect this. And I drew a high-quality furry art icon to commemorate the change, too! It's great. I need to start offering commissions.
Side note, I never expected to become unemployed. Bizarre how changes in the economy can lead to crap like this. I'm one of the best drivers at my store, and because I had car problems first, I was the first one to get knocked off the schedule. Grrrrr. The job hunt's been fruitless. Lots of applications, no callbacks, no interviews, no responses when I call back myself.

|---|
Those of you who read my journal should know that I am playing Warhammer Online. Not because I've told you or anything (because I haven't), just, you know, you should already know. Because you're psychic. Yeah.
That being said, I'm aware that there's been a guild organized by a prominent member of the population of gamer furries over on the Destruction faction. Furries can play evil people over there. But where's the fun in that?
I like Order. I like fighting for a good cause. I like the pursuit of justice and all that. I'm a good guy. So why not have a guild in Order?
So I'm going to be playing on the "Sea of Claws" server. Yes, that's actually what the name of the server is. "Sea of Claws". A fitting name for furries I think! So I'm curious if anyone wants to play on the side of Order and join me there.

And so today begins my testosterone replacement therapy. Yep, gonadal failure. I pretty much knew it all along. My testosterone levels are abnormally low for someone my age. Fortunately further tests ruled out pituitary failure, which could have had a negative effect on my lifespan if left untreated.
Supposedly I'll feel pretty good within the next 48 hours. God, I hope this works. I've always wondered what it feels like to be alive.

| » Can I fly? |
|---|
So I quit my job at Papa John's in Crown Point, and now I'm working at Papa John's in Dayton. Wow, it's like trying to take a step forward, but putting your foot down in the same spot! I have good hours for once though, and I'm making decent money (even if most of the tips out here are shit.)
Except that now I have access to a college that has what I actually want to study, instead of something that I thought I could tolerate doing with my life.
I've had certain dreams and aspirations my entire life, since I was a little boy. I've always wanted to fly. Growing up in high school, I looked at several universities and colleges around the country that had an aviation school. Everything pretty much seemed out of my means, and my parents talked me down to staying local. When I didn't get accepted to Purdue West Lafayette's piloting school, I pretty much gave up, just like I did with everything else I ever loved and got discouraged with.
So here all along I've been jumping from major to major, looking for something I can tolerate, something I think I could live with and be okay with. And then all of a sudden I moved, and now I'm local to a school that offers a piloting program. I wonder if I even have a shot at this. Can I afford it? What if I'm too out of shape, or they reject me because of some other stupid physical reasons?
I just know that if I can get into this, I'll actually be doing what I've always wanted to do all along. I just don't know if I can get in.

I have a livejournal? Oh yeah.
I'm moving to Dayton, OH in 10 days. .... Or 9 days. Or 9.5 days. Something like that.

| » WoW, Cairne server, Alliance |
|---|
Hey friends! Y'know that brand new server, Cairne, that showed up a week or two ago? There's some furries on Cairne, Alliance side, heading a guild called Twilight Aegis. Since it's a brand new server, our guild's highest members are in the 30-35 range. If you're interested, send a reply or look for Lander the Draenei Paladin. (Or /who "Twilight Aegis" if that fails!)
We're not a furry-exclusive guild, but the leadership is pretty much all furry. We do invite other players that demonstrate a decent ability to work well with people.

Last night, one of my neighbors was involved in some kinda trouble, involving holing up in his house with a shotgun. The family apparently fled, and the news reports say that two shotgun shots were fired before the police finally apprehended him.
Interestingly, the news reports don't mention the three shots I heard before the two shotgun shots.
Last night was kind of a scary night here in Crown Point.

| » Don't make delivery drivers walk through snow. |
|---|
Some friendly advice for any of you choosing to order pizza delivery in the winter.
If it's been snowing, and you order pizza delivery, please, please, PLEASE shovel. Make a path to your door. Your delivery driver might outright refuse the delivery if he pulls up to your house and sees deep snow. We delivery drivers don't have the luxury of just dropping by home, changing our socks and pants when we get wet, so on. We're stuck with what we're wearing, and as a result, may refuse to come to your door if we have to walk through deep snow.
Thank you.

| » Username change + My Father |

Yep, it's me, "roolander" aka Lander aka Christopher aka Chris aka "that one roo guy" etc. But that's all in the past! Well, aside from Lander and Christopher and all that. That's in the present.
But that's me. I used a rename token to get a screen name that I honestly like a lot better and suits me much more than the old one.
In other news, my father's doing fine. After lots of testing, it seems they weren't able to figure out exactly what happened, but he seems more or less okay. However, the doctors did warn him to stop smoking. They believe his smoking is the most likely reason for his mini-stroke. Let's hope he manages to have the willpower to follow through with it.
