Title: What do you do?
Post by: Knightmare on 02.10.2006, 10:11:51
What kinda things do you guys do outside of EF?

for me its college (all the girls in my class *drool*) Performing Arts, then i fit in work whenever i can to hopefully give my EF fund a boost in time for the next con, as for hobbies LASER QUEST no fur alive can defeat me at LQ, many have tried all have failed, Pro-Wrestling is my fav hobby specially since i started the FWO along side my bro and trust me guys it takes someone who is made of some seriously tough stuff both physically and mentally to wrestle, dont believe me then go to a training session near you and if they train you properly, then you would be feeling it in the morning, got myself into a few matches and lost them all  >:(*grumbles* including losing a 1 v 1 submission match to my own brother in a reverse hammerlock but in one of them i WAS ganged up on by 5 roster members from the promotion so i didnt last very long in that

Well, let's see.  The bulk of my time outside of Eurofurence is taken up by:

1. Work.  Someone has to design and build those big machines that allow me to get from the United States to Eurofurence.  Been with Airbus' main competitor for 25 years now and can retire in 2,606 days.  Calendar days.

2. My horses.  I like to ride my Thoroughbred at least a couple of times a week.  (He's not too keen on the idea being a rather lazy fellow but it's good for him.)  And, my 40-year-old (yes, fourty) Palomino is just fun to hang out with and relax.  He also has a knack for picking up girls and I'm hoping that will will rub off on me some time soon.   ;)

3. Staff for Rocket City FurMeet (http://www.rcfm.net).  Someone has to keep their web site running.

Well, outside EF I tend to... err... study. Or rather, I'm MEANT to be studying ;) In the final year of my university degree does mean I do a lot of work, but a lot of it is working on a group project to program little robots to work in a team and to compete in the five-a-side robot football teams.

Apart from that, I tend to visit friends a lot and therefore travel a lot. I also do a little work - I have a job where I work from a distance, and the hours are to suit me. I simply invoice the company I work for for the time I have spent doing work for them. A neat little arrangement!

I also try to go swimming regularly and am trying to go to the gym every now and then too. So other than EF, I tend to be rather busy!

Right then *cracks knuckles* Ow...

I'm a very un-furry furry in the sense that I would much sooner get up off my arse and do it for real rather than RP it or crank up the playstation! (This is based on most of the furs I know personally)

Sadly going round killing baddies ala Max Payne is illegal so I content myself with frequent airsoft skirmishes.  My weapons of choice are an M-16, M-4 and a Beretta M92FS as a sidearm. 

I am also a fan of football despite the hooligans and overpaid, whiney gits that seem to make up 75% of each team in the Premiership.  Personally I support my home team of Chesterfield.  Good, honest football! I also like to play whenever I can!

My less energetic persuits are going to the pub for a few beers with my friends, playing my guitars and, like a great deal of furs, I do artwork.  Not so much these days but if the mood takes me I will hack out the occasional doodle! 

Work-wise I am between jobs and earning my corn by temping.  At the moment I am merchandising for B+Q which generally involves hauling pots of paint around and arranging them on shelving according to the plans.  Once I've erected the shelving that is.  Crappy pay but a great working environment and a hell of a workout!  I plan to apply to the Hampshire Police Force very soon. 

At EF I plan to avail myself of the swimming pool and gym as I cant afford either at the moment, plus I have no interest in fursuiting or spending the con drawing.  If im not in the pool of gym, try the games room or the bar!

I hope to see you there!

Most of my time is also filled with work, as software engineer I have to build J2EE based web-apps.
When I get home, I do the same for myself, some local intranet stuff which is pretty handy :p

Besides that I play some games, or if the possibility introduces himself I visit f(ur)riends, but since they dont live nearby this is not always convenient.

Next year a cute fuzzball will be introduced in the family and also a good portion of my time will go to him ^_^

Hello,

I am a student at university too. Geology at Charles University in Prague, faculty of natural sciences.  Gonna do my balcheor degree this year... For the most time, I try to get on with the regular student life... studying, drawing a bit, gaming a bit, surfing the web a LOT ;D chating a lot :) Reading history books A LOT! ...

Well, most of my life is filled with university work and my part time job.

Then I have some hobbies, roleplaying (live, pen and paper, chat and so on...), music, reading, computer games (I'm kind of picky with games, no MMORPGs and no Egoshooter games here, mostly Sim Games like "The Sims 2" or "Rollercoaster Tyoon" and Second Life :) ), meeting cool people, going out to concerts or into irish pubs, writing, drawing, my 4 cats, and wrestling.

Knightmare: I'll get myself an MSN Account soon so we can talk about wrestling. I trained for a year at Best Sports Enterteinment here in Germany and later I had a two-day training session with Emil Sitoci. Cool to meet active wrestlers here in the furry fandom. Need to talk through msn or on EF some day.

By day I work with a defence countermeasures company, meaning I'm mainly involved some way or another with copious amounts of explosives  ;D not too closely though ^.^; By night, I'm a bartender at my local pub. Handy, ne? :P

I admit I spend too long infront of the computer during the week, but at weekends I can be found zipping around the country in my beloved 1991 Jap import MR2 (when not cleaning or maintaining it), off to see friends, go Karting, watch motor racing events, or most importantly, halfway up the country to see the other half *chuckles*

I'm looking forward to EF, as it's gonna be the first real chance I've had to do any extended amount of fursuiting, and in public at that!  :D

What do I do? I study software technologies at university in Czech republic, Prague.
In my free time I do draw and paint, it's my hobby (some people call me an artist, lol) which sometimes also helps me survive. I'm currently interested in DDR in which I put my hopes to loose on weight.  ::) I like messing around with digital camera ( http://picasaweb.google.com/pasekovad ) and taking photos, it's another of my hobbies but I don't take myself or my photos seriously.  :D I like nature and making trips to nature or elsewhere (castles, zoos) but unfortunately I don't have much friends or furry friends IRL to go out with (to the cinema or have a coffee), they all seem to prefer sitting at the PC.
And of course I like traveling, seeing new places and cons. That's why I'm here. :)

It's all change for me now. As of 3 weeks time, I won't be at the countermeasures firm anymore. between then and EF, I'm moving into a new house further up the country, and 2 days after EF I start my new job, working at a Gas Turbine Power Station =^.^=

And no, my name is not "Homer" :P

I'm a Network Engineer in a large datacentre in Amsterdam. In my spare time I'm trying to finish my fursuit (almost there!) and spend too much time on Second Life (addictive is a big understatement). When not doing anytime on my main computer I'm modding old computers, one of them I will bring to EF.

@Kyyanno: D'oh! ;D

I work for the University of Cambridge in the Biochemistry department as an PAT (portable appliance testing) testing technician, in other words if it’s something that can be plugged into the wall I test it for electrical safety.  I also do the asset registry and recording, and some general maintenance.

Before doing this I worked as a scientific Animal technician for seven years, until I got disenchanted and generally pissed off with the job. Before anyone asks I *didn’t* perform any experiments or procedures on any animals, I wasn’t licensed for that work, I only did general husbandry duty’s. If anyone wants to speak to me about that they can do, so long as its sensible and doesn’t involve pitchforks or fiery torches, just collar me at anytime during the con and ask me about my old lab job.

In my spare time I like to play with computers both seriously and for gaming, write and draw (so far nobody has puked at either), taking long walks across stretches of the English and Scottish countryside, Air softing (I haven’t done it for a while but I have the best urban site in the UK just round the corner from where I live), I also have a interest in aviation and I do help out at my local air cadets squadron as a civilian instructor.
