Well it’s official,I finally got my bachelors in biology!!! After four long years of kicking and screaming, I managed to complete it on time! It’s a little bittersweet, I graduated but I didn’t say good bye to my friends or have a celebration. But what matters is that I still did it!

I wanna thank so many of you here who’ve helped me along the way. Many of you noted me and even have me on discord/telegram who kept me smiling for these days. Thank you all for being such a positive community <3

You need to see it
I rarely post journals but holy crap it’s such a good film. By the end of the movie most of the people in the theater were singing. Hell I even made a friend with a total freaking stranger XD
It didn’t focus on his sexuality and mostly focused on Freddie and the band which makes me so freaking happy.

Oh crap I’m legally ok to by drinks and get blackout drunk XD.
Thank you everyone for giving me a fun experience on this site and enduring all me shenanigans! Here’s to another year of this crazy life!

So last night there were some shootings at the Mandalay Bay Casino down in Vegas. So far no one that we know got hurt so I'm thankful for that. News are still spreading about who got hurt and such and I'm hoping I don't hear a familiar name. Despite what happened I want to let you all know is that we are battle born state for a reason. We survived through the nuclear testings, mobsters in casinos, and the Great Recession that we had. Despite all this we still did the best we can and we always bounced back. Today is going to be a hard day, but we will still show that this act will not scar us. Overall I hope all of you are safe today and please be careful

Shiiiiiiiiiit!
I didn't even tell anyone God damn iiiiiiiiiit.
Oh well, I'm one year older...now what. I WANNA CELEBRATE BUT IM IN COLLEGE GOD DAMN.

So my English teacher wished for everyone to explain or atleast tell their stories of 9/11. I thought that if any one of you are interested, I'll like to tell mine.


When the planes hit, I remember sitting on the front living room watching TV. The second tower hasn't been hit yet but I remember my parents making frantic phone calls to that airports because I had friends and family who were riding on airplanes that same day. For my age, I was pretty lost. I had the sense to know this was a terrorist attack but I had no idea why. When the second building hit I honestly couldn't believe it. Just something in my mind just a kept saying no way this is real.


Honestly that's all I can remember. I didn't feel like that scarred me in any way, but my mother would say I would be terrified to get near one of those mechanical airplanes where you put quarters in. She said my response would be "I don't want to crash" when I'm nearby them.


Another memory I do remember was when I heard a conversation between my 4th grade teacher Mrs Adams (I've forgotten her first name) and a teacher advisor. She was there when the second building fell. She was leaving the area via ferry ride across the water. Tons of other boats would come by and try to evacuate others , she's seen some boats so filled, it looked like it was going to flip any second. The most memorable thing I remember from her conversation was " When the boat was pulling away, I heard light smacking in the back. I thought someone was dumping fish onto the floor but...those were people leaping off the building."

So since its hippo week, would anyone be interested in a Pay What You Want drawings of me "hippo-fying" your characters to become...well hippos? I was thinking of atleast making the base price 1 dollar.

Alright well... just took my last test for my school. I mean I'm just currently still sitting in class waiting for the bell to end but now it's dawn on me...4 years of this place... now coming to an end. Four years of miserable hell yet so many new faces...memories... So much I will never see again. Hell, freshman year was the year I joined FA in the first place. Now as I wait for the bell to ring... I'm not sure what to do... maybe walk around the campus for the last time. Sure I'm coming back here for graduation practice but it just won't feel the same...not as a student. I got some ideas over the summer and for the future but for now I'm just reflecting right now... so I guess this is just me writing down stuff so I can look back and see what I was thinking.


All in all if I was to wrap this 4 years of educational terror... I'll just want to say this... my childhood may have been only of studying and doing worksheets... but it doesn't mean adult hood can be fun and full of life. Goodbye teachers...goodbye counselors...and goodbye classmates. It was nice to know most of you and I hope to god I'll be much wealthier and friendlier if I ever see any of you again.


I guess that's all I have to say as the bell ticks to my final minutes. As a student this is my final sign out. To a more promising future here I go!

So now that I'm gonna branch off of this site, I'm going to start sticking into Weasyl. Word of advice here, I'll be uploading things both from this account and from NSFW so be warned!
Here's the new place: https://www.weasyl.com/~thatshepard

Alright after 3 years of being on this site, I just decided enough is enough. After this recent attack I have to find a new place to post my stuff and chat with other users. I literally lost a bit of money on this recent event.


Does anyone know of a place to go?

Muchly appreciated, Robert~

Soooo the power went out for a good 2 hours last night. I know its spooky when the lights go out..but when the street lights,no visible moon, and happening late night...it really gives you this sense of unease. Hell it was so dark, you can see folks in peopl's houses with there flah lights, looking around for who knows what. If anyone has requests, I could send images of before power out and after when the power was restored. Believe me I couldnt even see in front of my own feet...it was that dark!

Anyways here's the news report if anyon'es interested. http://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/ma.....valley-outage/

Tommorrow I'll have most of the day off so...send me your reffs!
Send me your friends REffs!

Send me that weird guy who has a third eye's reff....no jk his weird.


I won't be doing most of them,but I will pick a few. Also just because I didn't pick you..DOESNT MEAN I HATE YOU...I'll be picking at random so new folks are welcome!

So go on and tell your friends, deadline for these is until midnight.

RIP 2015-2015




Alright damn I'm behind in journals. I was supposed to write about my trip to mihcgain but my time went too fast.


ANYWAYS HAPPY NEW YEAAAR! I hope all of you have a great new year, as for me...yeah I'm going to have a very special one...because now I feel like I'm not alone. thank you all for the lovely messages throught the year and yeah...SEE YEA NEXT WHATEVER DAY

UNGGGGGGGGGGGHHH.. I was hoping I wouldnt have to say that but... damn that trip happeend wayyyyyy to freaking quick. So surprise to evryone, I came to visit Michigain for some of the colleges over there and I bunked with this gorgeous and sweet sweet girl <3
 RoxPaw

I meet her familly,from her mother to all the way to her uncles and grandmothers. They were all so very kind to me, I just wish I was able to repay them all somehow. Not only that, but I also visited her friends which do include some of her furry friends that are also on FA (I'll probably post who they were later on in an edit)

Anywasys once I get Roxxi's approval, I'll post the events of how my trip went in another journal!

From Dec 17- Dec 22 I'm going to be away on a very important trip. So if I owe you money please forgive me as I will be checking FA and other messages very rarely. I'll be back before Christmas so just I case everyone else goes on there holiday travels and can't message me, merry Christmas and whatever holiday-that-doesn't-offend you !

So I just realized that I have more than 150 images to upload..but I never got the chance to post them! Some of these are holiday themed starting back to october, so if you see a random halloween image thats because i was too lazy to have uploaded it.


So you all have been warned!

Hi everyone, I know it's been awhile since I've made these journals, but I got an urgent question.

I've been itching to get a reference sheet for a new sona (more like alt. form of one) and I wanted to know if there's anyone who can draw or recommend me to some for some fair prices

Here's what the basic idea for the reff is:
-Panda hybrid character

-his going to be fat...I mean his a panda for crying out loud

- basic front and back pose with a headshot

...it's literally anything but fine...

It's midnight as I wright this so I might as well spit it out.
Yeah October 21, is my birthday. Which happens to be both Back to the future Day AND my 18th birthday, what a lucky coincidence!

Anyways now to let you know on some big news... Many of you out there I've spoken with know this. On my 18 birthday I was going to be kicked out of my own house...I will be given the car I own, the clothes I have, and 200 dollars.
No food
No cell phone
No shelter.

But thanks for so many of my friends and extremely generous schools, I've been successfully into getting into 2 colleges and give my parents assurance that I'm doing extremely well in school. So thanks to all this effort...I'll be able to stay home until I go to college.

As I type this I'm actually having my throat dry, because this whole entire time, for 4 months, It felt like I had this dagger hanging over my head. Now I just feel a whole stressfull feeling has been lifted off...and now... I can enjoy my birthday fully.


So yeah...looks like your all going to have to still endure my existence still muhahah... Take care everyone and good night,and thank you to those who had pity for me...thank you all


(Yes I may suck but goddam it...this song really puts how I feel right now http://youtu.be/lGaneyDfyls )

Alright before I tell my tales of the terrible fever and the hellish hospital I went to, I must please ask forgiveness to my friends and those few commissioners for my absence. I was way too ill to be able to respond and I trully am sorry for dissapering like this.

Day 1:
I woke up monday morning feeling very hot and my body was aching a bit. Of course I just shook it off thinking I was aching because of how I slept and it would soon fade away when I continued off to school, but as the day went on and on...it only got worse and worse until the point I just walked off campus of my school and drove myself home during lunch.

By the time i got home, my body felt warm as hell but I was shivering and everything felt so god damn cold...despite that I live in the blistering desert and its mid summer! I passed out and woke up with my parents panicing. They tok my temperature and it was about 103 degrees. Of course they took me off to the hospital and at the time I really didnt care, I just wanted to go to sleep and cover myself up. I arrived to urgernt care in the hopistal and they gave me liquids to lower my temperature.

They did the old hospital check procdeures they alays do but of course they couldnt understand why the hell my body aches and i had a sever temperature...now seatong no bumps no rashes and not even a cough...they couldnt tell what i had...and thats when it all went downhill.

Now I've been to this hospital before...and it's terrible. It's one of the worst in the state and the last time i came there they wantedd to use a freaking cat-scan on me...when all i had was a simple diaherra problem and just needed to drink lots of liquids...hell they even gave me medicine for bronchiotus at some point...so this was a very bad hospital but we still had to go because of the fact that this was the only place where my insurance covered.

Anyways back to me in the hopital, they started to hook me up with an IV and i absoutly hated the damn thing. t feltlike they were forcing pure ice crystals into my body when i was already burning up. What was worse was that while i laid in bed, they poked and proded me when i all wished for was some rest. They checked up on my temperature again and this time i spiked to 106 and instead of handling the situtation profeesionally, the nurse grabbed the doctor saying my brain was literally boiling and that i needed a ice bath. Of course my parents were there and they freaked out thinking i was going to die and so they took me off. I honestly couldnt feel anything at that point because i felt so hot. The doctor asked me if i could walk and i could with a little help by grabbing the walls a bit, he let me take a cold shower rather then go fast first into one of these special tubs that was FILLED with frozen ice cubes.


I can't rmeber much after the shower since it was a blur, but at somepoint i went off to sleep at the hospital. Now this is the scariest and most frighting thing that happned to me was at this moment. I was resting in bed and i felt like someone was slowly giving me a bear hug around my chest. I tried getting up but the nearby nurse pinned my chest down ans asked me if i was alright. Of course at this point i was dazed, havig a fever-induced paranoia, and tired so of course i said no to her and I couldnt find my vocabulay to say "i need to stand up its getting hard to breath" but all i managed to say was "cant breath, chest heavy".

Now this of course meade the nurse think i was going to have a heart attack, and once again goes holloering around that i needed defibs. Of course im shaking a no at her and trying to get up but shes pinning me down still and the nurses come in with the chest paddles. At that point i got really...really scared because I've recently had a dear friend lose someone special to a heart attack..and if i went out the same way...then im not sure how the hell that would drive my friend crazy and mad. Of course my doctor, i guess my savior now, rushes and stops the whole thing and sets me up. Natualy i start to breath again and my heart pace lowers and everything went back to norma...well execpt for the bruning body and paranioa feeling that nurse left me.

Now soemhwer around midnight, the moved me to an isolation room where a plastic covered the neterance. The reason why they put me there was because 3 people came in with the same symptoms as me...but of course the idiots would soon find out they all had something different and not at all similar to what I had. At that point I thought I was patient zero for something because i could hear the nurses and nearby doctos saying theyve never seen anything like this befoe and if they should contact my school to be aware of this. They would move me back out later hwen they found out its not infectious as they thought it was, but as i rested there looking at how the nurses dresses on these special disposable clothes, I couldnt help but feel scared and awed. The reason why I was scared because...you know...could I be the first to have been conatct of a new virus...and awe because...well...how often does it happen that your the reason that started the zombie apocolpse..cool right? (I know its not cool at all but hey...I WAS HAVING A FEVER)

After that nightmare, i woke up with lips cracked and a bit of my teeth showing because of the shrunken lips, i couldnt hold my head straight up because i would go nasues and my neck muscles would cramp, so i always had it on my shoulder. Everything i drank (like water) felt like...it felt like that bitter taste when you take a pill and drink water after it...that sorta plasticy and clay tatse was left on my mouth. Food tasted like garbage but meat on the other hand, it didnt tade 100 percent good...but it was warm and a bit soothing in my jaws so thats al i could pretty much swallow without wanting to puke it out.

There were at some points on my stay were i started to hallucinate voices in my head. Now this sint the "kill them all jhonnry" kinda voices. It felt like had multiple self conious crowded in my head and they will say stuff like "your cold..cover yourself" when i reeally...really wasnt supposed to because i was already burning up. Things like that kept wracking in my head. It was a very...very uncomfortable feeling.

Before breakfast, the doctors gave me a pill to keep me awake because they wished to exam me a bit. Now this...pil...or whatver the hell it was...DID NOT WORK. All it did was increase my heart rate a light speed and yet my body felt exhasuted. The only was i can describe is it when you see something frightful and you freeze up. Your body is producng the adrenline yet your frozen...well thats how i felt in bed. It was an awfull awfull feeling...at one point... I could literallt feel my face beating LIKE IT WAS A HEART!

Anywas I left home just in time to get ready and go back to school around 3rd period. I slowly regained my motor skills back and taste, but still i have to come to the hospital every afternoon to check to see if im feeling better and that I heavnt boiled any brain cells. As I right this I feel really..really comftorable knowing that im back to normal and feeling angry at how the hospital handled the whole sickness poorly...never again will i gothere...


anyways thank you forreading what i had to go through...I hope you never experince what I had!

Hello it's me. Summer is coming to a close soon and I want to draw as much as I can before I run out of time. So the question is who here wishes for a trade?

Friday: I left the bus station at 9:00 at night. Everything was ok until I got to Barstow californa in which I think a "stowaway" sneaked into the bus and sat in the empty seat in front of me. I would have been fine IF HE DIDNT RECLINE ALL THE WAY BACK! Sure I would have declined back to but there was a lady behind me who was pregnant so I didn't want to disturb her...so I slept with a stiff neck.

Saturday: at 4 clock i arrived at the seaport village. I waited another 30 mins to board a trolly and then took a bus to where my uncle lived. Nothing very notable about these events...other then the fact it was foggy as hell and it reminded me of silent hill. I arrived at the house at 6 am and passed out until 4:00 in the afternoon. After that I walked to downtown and got ice cream and walked back to sleep

Sunday: I spent the whole day exploring San diego. I even almost sneaked into the Padres game that was going on. The thing is I slept on the trolley and ALMOST ENDED UP IN MEXCIO!!!! I walked off wondering where I was, when I followed a herd of people i thigh I was going to an exit... NOPE, THE SIGN SAID I WAS WALKING STRAIGHT TO MEXICO! If it wasn't for the fact I was sticking to the walls, these herd of people could have pushed me all the way there. After that event I went back to my uncles home and passed out.

Monday: this was the day of my cousins graduation, which was why I came to the city in the first place. It was at 4 Im the afternoon so I walked to the mall and killed time there... I went to see the movie INSIDOUS 3 when suddenly... THE GODDAMN POWER WENT OUT!!! So that was spooky...and a waste of 6 bucks since they cousins rewind it. Once the graduation happend I went and celebrated and all the lovely stuff...came back at 9 and passed out ready for tommorrow.

Tuesday: woke up at 4, took the ferry across the bay or lake or whatever it's called to the bust stop. I waited for 5 hours until the bus came...that was 3 hours over the time it should have come. Anyways rode that bus alllllllll the way home. Now we are here...me texting safe and sound in my home. So yeah I guess I had a good time... ALL BY MYSELF AND STUFF...


So now that I have free time... who wants there character or something drawn for them? I'm GOIG to have a lot of time to draw so yeah~
