ummmmmmmm wanna go back home?
It's okay if not. This is just my silly little journal. If you want to see some photos I took though, you may want to go here instead. Or stick around here instead. That's cool too.
Let me talk about what I want to do here. Not a manifesto, yet, anyway. I've read some, and they're all very good. For now, I think I can just explain what I'm doing here. I got really tired of social media and the tracking and the ads. I just want to put my things on a site that doesn't feel inundated with things that make my head hurt.
I read a substack about indie webdesign and how it was this entire culture online. I was apart of early 2000's myspace coding era, and then tumblr after. I never got involved in the communities, I was terrified of strangers, but now...I digress.
I want this to be a safe place of nostalgia and fun. I want to practice HTML and CSS again. I want to enjoy using my laptop and the internet again. I want to stay up late looking for the perfect gif to add to a post that no one will read. The internet used to be a fun place for me, and I want it to be that again.
Today was okay! I worked some on the site, got some of the interests pages updated and even did an entry on my tv one. I really needed to do the book update but I haven't had the spoons to do that. Lots of game playing the last couple of days, but that's a-okay. I did read a good bit into the two books I'm reading right now, and I got some cleaning done.
I think I'm going to watch some sailor moon tonight and do some more reading. Hopefully it'll be a chill night, but there's a bit of a scary thunderstorm!!! ahhhh!! okay, time for winding down and whatnot before bed, goodnight :)
Did NOTHING on the site today (Except this). I went into town with mom and dad today and got a cute lil sweatshirt from the 90's that I loveeee. It's from the city I was supposed to get married in before we ended up eloping, very cute. Also smells like incense and a little like cigarettes without smelling like cigarettes, you know?
We wandered the local town a little bit tonight and it was nice. I love where I have decided to call home. And I love using technology that forces me to wait until I'm home to show anyone, ya know? It's just nice. Okay, this was a good long entry, good night!!!!
I'm so eepy. I got a lot on the site done today and I'm pretty proud of it. I really have gone back to my "codemonkey" roots. Myspace era me would be proud, maybe? I think she would like this website a lot, actually.
That girl right there, actually. She'd probably like this. Maybe not my music so much (well...A Day To Remember would be fine). Isn't it strange to think about how much things change? I never wanted to go into tech because I didn't want to be like my brother and dad, and yet, it's been my entire professional career, and now I'm back to coding websites for fun.
Time is strange. Goodnight!
well I have finally done it, and caved and made a full little website for things. I really want to flesh out the subpages but for now, the widgets are working and I have some themes going, so I'll take it :D
For diary things, A closes late tonight, so I was able to hyperfocus a little bit on this which was nice I suppose. Gotta wash my hair though, which is less nice. Also, learning there's an entire community of people doing some of this stuff has been quite nice.
I think that's going to be it from me here though, bye!!
