Oh, God, it's all been so amazing! (No wonder I haven't had time to update.)

Yesterday... I met Remy. Yes, that Remy. I hyperventilated when I opened the door and saw Remy waiting for me. We went conning together with [livejournal.com profile] madiushrat, [livejournal.com profile] 3catsjackson and [livejournal.com profile] kit_ping (who wasn't in suit but kindly acted as our spotter). We then got our photos taken by a professional photographer they have situated on the second floor. So, yes, Rattus has had his photo taken with Remy. I know I keep saying this, but photos will come later (when I work out how to get them).

Today... I held one side of the banner [livejournal.com profile] madiushrat made up to commemorate 2008 being the Year of the Rat. Much to my surprise, they let us rats and mice lead the parade. Thank you very much to Madius for letting me have this great honour. I truly did feel proud to be a rat then. I don't have any photos obviously but I know there will be plenty out there. Just do a search for further confusion 2008 fursuit parade. (If helpful people on my friends list want to direct me to photos they've found of me leading the parade, I would be very grateful.)

Haal's motto was "Expect the impossible," and I have been living that since Oz Kangaroo, Ristin Raccoon and Pouch Hopper changed my life back in late 2003. I am grateful to the point of tears for all the joy that has come into my life since then.

Lovely! So, did you poste this in the States or at Home?

Just curious.

Oh.. and even though this sounds silly, I so would love to meet you in SL, now that I've gotten into it.

I'm still there, just taking a break. It's likely you will get to see me on SL some time, but I expect not until I get back home which is still a few weeks away.

I'm so glad you're having a great time Marko. Thank you. ^_^

That's awesome news about Remy and the banner, and getting lots of rodent recognition in the furry community. It's all really wonderful.

And you are wonderful too. I'm glad I can be part of that.
