[Error: unknown template qotd]Sehnsucht, a German phrase meaning "desperate yearning," is pretty much my favorite word in any language ever. >.> Something about the word itself captures the spirit of desperate yearning itself. And the concept behind it-- wanting beyond all reason something you can never have-- pretty accurately describes how I feel about my fursonas.
Actually, that feeling really needs a post to itself, since it's kind of hard to describe without getting wordy. More on that later, I guess?

Stolen from DeviantArt, dunno maker, etc. I put way more thought into this than most sane people would. >_> Except I'm doing a TF meme so obviously I'm not sane anyway.

Second Life (and RL!) update
May. 21st, 2009 01:41 pmEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I LOVE my new AnthroXtacy avatar. I've spent most of my time in SL since I got it just flying around and tweaking the settings. There's something indescribably awesome about having a something to point to and say "If I were to be able to chose my appearance in real life so that it would match how I feel on the inside, this is what I would look like." Anyway, I figured since I have it and I haven't seen any reviews for it, I might as well do one. Check it out below the cut! (Pics to come soon, BTW.)
( Fly with me, forever higher/And with these wings, we'll set the world on fire )
And now that I have that out of the way...why isn't it Friday yet? ;_; I want to go to Animazement...I've got a shopping list and a to-do list and everything. (Heading up there with
chimoari and Zylaa of The Flying Toasters fame will be there on Saturday!) Also, Chi, don't let me forget about bringing up Legendia and my comics. >_> So, I'm not cosplaying this year due to financial constraints, but finding someone I could go as where I won't have to pay an absurd amount of money to do so (being that I'm saving up for a fursuit here, and it's my primary concern) is one of the things on my to-do list. I am more than a little in love with the idea of cosplaying and just costuming in general. It's the chance to break away from my anxiety problems, I suppose. Again, I'd rather have a fursuit, but quite frankly doing either is my idea of a good time.
On the bright side, there's a dealer that's selling tails, so I might *finally* have a tail to go with my ears. And Aardvark T-Shirts will be there. I want the "Steampunk is the new black!" one so, so badly. See, I have to plan these things out in advance because otherwise I *will* overspend. >_> It's not so much kid in a candy store as it is starving person in a candy store. I almost never get opportunities to spend money like this, and when I do...well...let's just say the end results aren't kind on my bank account.
Nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to this. XD Expect a con report!
