"What we call the beginning is often the end.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from."

My Furry Page
Okay, I have a scanner now so my furry art can go online! Many of these images are from my sketchbook, so don't mind all the smudges.
Furvey 3.5
========
Yourself
========
1. What is your name? I guess if I had to give my full name it would
be ashtah atropo goldfyre, but usually just one of them is fine. Only
close friends on the web know my real name. (wiggles nose)
2. What is your email address? I always respond to email! Loves it!
goldfyre3@netscape.net
3. Are you male or female? (looks down front of shirt) Yup. Still
female
4. How old are you? / What is your date of birth? March 4,
1969...lesse...that makes me...33 years young.
5. Where do you live? Bloomington, IN USA
6. What are your interests/hobbies? I love non-fiction books!
Physics, medicine, ancient art and civiliations. The deader the
civilization, the more fascinating it is. (is deader a word?) I also
like to write poetry, short stories and am working on my drawing
skills. I am also very addicted to my webpage.
7. What do you do for a living? Secretary (taps on keyboard) and
soon to be full time college student as well as full time secretary.
(who needs sleep?)
8. How would you describe your personality? Very easy going,
happy-go-lucky, able to go with the flow, but still painfully
painfully shy (um. I'm a squirrel, duh.) But I turn into a rabid
squirrel over issues of feminism, inequality, censorship and abuse of
others. I have learned that I am the only person truely responsible
for my life, so no longer hand over my soul to any person passing me
on the street. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and it is a full and
happy heart.
9. Do you believe in ESP? Do you consider yourself to be psychic?
yes, in a sense. (to both questions) I believe 99.9999% of "psychics"
are frauds, but I do know that when I am "distracted" I can think
ahead, so to speak. I once called about 10 rolls on a set of dice
before, without ever seeing them. Cool, huh?
10. Are you a meat eater? Yes. But I am looking at exploring some
vegetarian meals also.
Furry media
===========
[more info: http://yiffle.cjb.net/fandom/]
11. Who are your favourite furry characters? I always liked Goofy,
daffy duck, and bugs bunny was DA BOMB! I guess I never looked at
them as furry, just as intelligent and savvy people.
12. What type of furry artwork do you enjoy viewing?
I like comic book fuzzies, like The Beast from the X-men and
anything manga or anime. I also like one-shot pics that people draw.
13. What type of furry literature do you enjoy reading?
I like intelligent literature. Pandering to me just makes me
rabid. (O.O)
14. What types of furry media do you create?
I am working on a short story, and trying to create some furry
drawings
15. What types of animal/furry themed decorations adorn your living
space?
Lots and lots and lots of wolf and dragon stuff. No squirrels,
yet.
16. Describe your ideal plushie. It has to be cute and squishy =^.^=
Costumes and collars
====================
17. Do you enjoy wearing fursuits and/or furry accessories?
No, but that is only because I am just starting this. I would
wear jewelery tho. Lots and lots of it.
18. Do you feel 'furrier' when wearing a fursuit/collar/tail etc? Ask
me again in about a month.

With rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes and she shall
have music where ever she goes. heh heh.
Furriness
=========
['phenotype' - the species of animal(s) that influence your feelings,
emotions and thoughts]
20. What are your phenotype(s)? Squirrel with a smidge of rabbit and
blue jay
21. How/when did you discover the identity/species of your phenotype?
About a month ago, but spent time trying to figure out if I was just
crazy. O.O
Now I realize that I wiggle my nose all the time, mostly in my head
and think like a squirrel all the time.
22. What conditions help you to enjoy/express your furriness? I have
to be comfortable with myself first before venturing out with it. Who
cares what others think?
23. How and when was your furriness first evident? I guess it's always
been there. I used to imagine what it was like to be a bird, fish,
squirrel etc. Now I know better and see it in how I act day to day
24. How much of your furriness is 'instinct' vs 'learnt'? Very little
is instinct and most of it is learned. I still have the "run away"
instinct when out facing new things, but I have learned how to handle
it. (well, mostly)
25. How does your furriness influence your thoughts and emotions? I'm
freer to express myself. Also, I let myself open up to my
surroundings more.
26. Has your furriness improved the quality of your life? Yes. I
think outside the box.
27. What do you think caused your furriness? Nobody or thing caused
it. I was born with it!
Acting furry
============
28. How does your furriness manifest itself externally?
I wiggle my nose and look for alternate routes and exits (like a
squirrel does when the cat is outside)
29. Do you act furry in public? Yes, but most of it is in how I carry
myself so no one probably connects it.
30. How does your furriness influence the way you interact with
people? I find people fascinating, especially when they feed me
goodies. (yum)
31. How much control do you have over your furriness?;
I am always fighting the shyness and flight desires, and will
until my time on earth is finished. Other than that, it's all about
balance. (ever watch squirrels run across electric lines?)
