I've been a furry since at least April 2010 when I first joined FA, but it wasn't until February 2011 when I really opened it up and embraced it as who I am.
I'm American; I live in south New Jersey, USA (very close to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Albeit, I have mostly French genes, and I was bored out of my mind, so I decided to check this place out. Though it's a coincidence because I am currently listening to a black metal album by Peste Noir that's in French, as well.

I don't really do much but sit behind this computer playing Second Life or browsing the webs.
A few things I can say about myself are I'm very submissive, nice, shy, brutally honest, down to earth and a loyal friend. Honesty and loyalty are also some things I value most in my friends. I also like to help out when I can.
Due to how nonindependent and nonsocial I am in the real world, it's extremely difficult for me to try to get out and make more fur friends and whatnot, and I feel very lonely and depressed a lot due to this... I haven't been to any furry conventions or meets or anything like that due to this, but I hope one day I will gain the courage to get out and attend one...
Some of my interests include: Music (mostly into death and black metal, but I like a lot of stuff), some casual video gaming, socializing with furries, and playing Second Life.
