My new web domain is a collection of pages and texts on society, sociology, subculture, human sexuality, epistemology (how do we know what's true?) and a little philosophy. It replaces two previous subdomains. Here are some *new* locations for two popular pages: Tags: culture, furry, goth, poly, sexuality, sociology, subculture, websites

Furmeet was 'ok'. I missed most people because I arrived an hour late, and a large party went to St James' park, including Marcony and others who I'd have loved to see, but I stayed with Makali and other others who I always love to see! Sat in the Jorenne Celeste with them for a while, went and played pool for an hour, ate out in some spicey chicken restaurant, then went to Namcos where we met up with most of the others. Most the people in Namco, for the whole evening, were furries! Got home at midnight or so. Done 2 mile job from 1:04 to 1:22, which is 18 minutes. It's gradually getting down to 16 minutes! I'm overdue though, I should be on 3 miles a day from tommorow, for 5 days, after which my aim is to do 2 miles in 15 mins. At the end of my pre-training schedule (which by military terminology is the PARA program) I will be doing 5 miles a day, in 45 minutes. Other elements such as 30 pressups and stuff is no problem, I'm well on schedule with those. Also, I've done some excellent work with Baphomet Method, but am not releasing stuff at the moment, I'm still struggling with vocals, although some demo software I've got is presently turning out to be much more useful than the vocoder I had been trying to use beforehand. I think I've cracked writing song-compatible lyrics, and wrote lyrics for "We are the best" by Baphomet Method, although it might be called "The Kissing School" Tags: baphomet method, fitness, furry, jogging, london, makali, marcony, music, running, st. james park

I have just added the following new section to my Furry Subculture page: "The phenomenon I am about to describe isn't limited to furry social groups. Sometimes a pair of close friends will adopt each other as siblings. So, one person may adopt another as their brother or sister, and then refer to them as such. The closeness that causes furries to do this can be either physical affection or an intellectual attachment to the other person. Some people do this more than others and have a large string of people they call bro or sis. Because furry is a highly affectionate subculture, people who trust or are otherwise comfortable with each other can develop more intimate closeness with each other, despite there being no sexual relations. I have found that when people start assuming that a pair of friends are going out, even if they themselves have no intention of doing so, is when they are most likely to adopt each other as sibling and sibling, by mutual consent. This has a few affects: - It gives definition to a relationship that would otherwise be mistaken for a sexual one by others</p>
- It lends itself to curbing more sexual behavior between the people, so, mutual adoption can be done in times when two people are close and trusting enough to form sexual relations, but do not actually want to do so. Adopting each other as siblings then puts up a mental barrier and changes the internal bonding of the relationship</p>
- It can be done between friends as a way formalizing and declaring a friendship</p>
It lends an overall positive atmosphere to social groups, and reduces social pressure as people are more inclined to be nice to each other. If we look at it as a form of ritual, the same as declaring support for a football team, then once you have made that declaration you come to take it more seriously. Likewise, when a pair of friends mutually declare each other siblings then it has the same affect, and the friendship becomes potentially more solid by the way of an informal social commitment.

The furmeet was great, it seems everyone has really matured over the last half a year! I've been absent from the meets for a while. People are, especially rejects and outacsts, it seems, picked up by furry and they learn to be sociable: They mature, by making friends and interacting with people. Aside from the younger generation, I met and spent much time with several old friends and it was really great to meet those who I met! Got great and simple Japanese food from Tokyo Diner, then sat in a gay pub in SoHo for an hour or two, but it was too crowded so I took us all to Starbucks where we had yummy coffee and talked for another hour or two. Great Saturday :-) Tags: furry, soho, starbucks
