Getting to this thread a bit late, as I've been stuck trying to keep up-to-date on another section of the forum...
I, myself, am a furry too. Have been for a very long time, but didn't realize that's what I was until late-teens. I live with two other furries and am close friends with a few others, in other states/countries.
Personally, I'm mainly a black leopard, but I can vary with my mood. Rarely I slip into a dragonish mood, or a wolfish mood. Lately I've been thinking myself kind of black fox/leopard halfbreed, but that's just change working normally as I get older. (Ack, someone stop time! )
As for what Record Store Tough Guy said a while back...
"So... why is it that people who identify as furries always pick "cool" animals, like Wolves or Foxes, or "cute" animals like Raccoons and Rabbits, but you never see, I dunno, Hyenas, or Possums? Or Banana Slugs? Is it the same reason why people who do past life regressions were always someone important, and never the poor peasant guy who spent his life knee deep in shit? Same with the otherkin. Why are they never basilisks, or gorgons, or catoblepi?"
I know of, and am aquantainces with, a skunk and a chocobo. My bf's a winged cabbit (Tenchi Muyo for reference), but not the typical type...: flop-eared rabbit/white tiger with green and black feathered wings. And yes, he has a very cabbit-y personality, for those of you who know about Ryo-Ohki and Ken-Ohki. My roommate's a wolf-mouse. Yes, his moods flop from wolf-ish to mouse-ish. He can be a tad difficult sometimes, but can't we all, heheh.
I had more to add, but my brain's fizzing out on me. Feel free to PM me if you have questions for me, or add to the thread, I'll be checking back on this one.
Note - I've never been to a FurCon either... I've wanted to for ages, but either don't have the money, the time or none nearby. Ah well, eventually...
