+So, I think the order of my entry to furry was as follows:
+
+1. Find a furcode in someone's forum sig.
+
+    > Oh my aching bones.
+
+    Shut up, you're not that old, the internet just moves *really* fast. Besides, you don't have bones.
+2. Find a furcode decoder.
+3. Find Captain Packrat's page on furry.
+4. Find Yerf!.
+5. Make a dragon character.
+6. This lasts three days. No one pays attention to me. Make a fox character.
+7. Meet some furries on GovTeen (née Puberty101).
+8. Start talking with furries on AIM.
+9. Join FluffMUCK.
+
+> Ah yes, Fluff. May she rest in eternal solitude.
+
+She's not totally gone. I don't think. I actually haven't checked in a while.
+
+> I'm starting to doubt your commitment to nostalgia, here.
+
+What would I gain from such?
+
+> You could go look in the park. You could go ride around in the Universe-in-a-Box. You could `laston` some folks, maybe.
+
+Weirdly enough, of the people I would `laston`, I was finally reintroduced to a few not too long ago by, of all people, Zorin, head wiz of Fluff. Rela and GC. I was glad to see them doing well.
+
+> You were glad to see they were alive.
+
+I was glad to see they were alive, yes. That was around the time I had found the obituary for Danny.
+
+> You could `laston` Marek.
+
+I'm not sure I could take that.
+
+> Is that why you don't want to connect?
+
+It's one reason. Nostalgia is only so much fun. It's fun up until a certain extent, and then it becomes painful.
+
+> It's fun up until you're confronted with mortality and uncertainty. Danny died, and you don't know if Marek's alive.
+
+Yeah.
+
+It's no longer fun, but it's no less important.
+
+> Let's talk about Margaras.
+
+Not yet.
+
+> Danny's passing was an abstract thing. Maragaras' was much more immediate. Much more concrete and real.
+
+Please.
+
+> Take your time.
