web log web log web log! ... blog!!!

07/13/2021 - hi y'all. hope you're all well! i've been doing pretty bad the past few days, but i'm surviving. i really wanna make more interest pages. i've been wanting for a while to make some a page for little odds and ends i want to show off, like my radios and old devices and stuff. cool tech i have mostly. also a music page. i really like vomitboy's record store page, i'd really like to do something similar in spirit to that.

06/11/2021 - hiiiii. happy pride month everyone! what's happened in the last few months... um.... got vaxxed up, went on a little friend trip, played hella video games, had a birthday... that's most of it! i made the blaseball page finally. and i fixed the page layouts so they fit the average screen a bit better and don't scroll unnecessarily... pretty happy with it ^^.

got some new friends... a bat plush from the living desert zoo gardens, archie the 12" hot pink axolotl squishmallow, stump the 8" skeleton cat squishmallow, and a 8" light teal axolotl not-quite squishmallow. (thank you to my darling boyfriend ben for the gifts of the latter two 💖💖💖)

02/25/2021 - hey web-surfers, long time. what's new! i added a cbox chat at the bottom of this table if you ever wanna say hi or comment on anything ^_^ be nice but go ape.
hmm... what's been going on... well! it was my boyfriend and i's first anniversary last week so that was pretty cool. i got a boombox for $8 at a goodwill and have tapes to play on it now. i got a bed bigger than a twin size for the first in my life. i got really into blaseball. started rewatching a lot of ~cringe~ shows... idk what else! its been some time since last update that i forgot whats new and whats not since then haha. hope you're all well!

10/12/2020 - happy spooky month, everyone. hope you're well! i've been busy with life stuff, cringetober prompts, and working on OasisQuest again. me and a lot of really skilled and wonderful people work on that project, so please check it out if you have the time! i'll be putting up a page on this site dedicated to it once i get around to it. oh, i've been watching some anime again lately to pass the time. i'm rewatching higurashi, and my sib and i started saiki k. good stuff.

08/11/2020 - i gotta stop promising i'll update this site regularly because that's like the number one way to guarantee my unmedicated ADHD-having ass won't do a task. terrible at forming habits, for better or worse. anyway hi it's been a little over a month? what's been going on, hm... i did artfight... an old project kicked back up, so stay tuned for that... i'm thinking about how to rework the art page and also i'm gonna stop uploading the originals LOL i'll make em smaller. standard height or something. anyway later!

07/04/2020 - heyyyy! i stopped actually updating for a month there... june flew by in a flurry of executive dysfunction and fucked up sleep patterns. soz! i was in a bigger slump than usual. but i stopped not drawing and now i'm feeling regularish enough to come and update this! that's something! i set a weekly reminder on my phone so hopefully that'll get me back into some sort of update pattern. for the meme of the week at least, if nothing else. anyway i've been making kandi and listening to nightcore and drinking monster so i guess i'm a scene kid now. kid me would approve, i always thought scene kids were so cool.

05/22/2020 - oh wow, this lil ole site... passed 20,000 hits!!!


thank you so much!! i never thought my lil personal site would get so many pageviews but.... :') it means a lot. i have a lot of fun working on this site, so.

05/18/2020 - ah yes, the yearly day-of-editing-my-bios-everywhere! happy birthday to me! i'm 22 now. woooooooooooooooo! i don't have much to say because birthdays are weird. i still have class today so i'll be doing that in an hour. The Party(tm) is coming over later for some (safe!) festivities and I was so excited at the thought of meatspace interaction with people that aren't my family for the first time in months that I couldn't sleep. woke up to rain which is nice, for me. i'll get some new art uploaded here later. peace.

05/05/2020 - new homestuck art for homestuck zines coming eventually. check me out in 3UPHOR14 and Zinobiology when those come out! will share here when allowed to.
been super depressed and lethargic because dysphoria. super sucks, haven't been getting shit done. it'll pass though. had some cake today which was nice. been playing like, SO much borderlands 3 because I have the time to and it's a good distraction. finished the main story! still don't think [SPOILER] should've happened but c'est la vie. gonna start the DLCs tonight if I feel up to it.
i keep forgetting to change the meme of the week when the week changes. i should set a reminder on my phone.

04/27/2020 - spent a whole day painting vampire mikey way. figured out a better way to lay out my art gallery page than just... using an increasingly long transparent pixel and stretching it. hint: invisble table. heh. my body's kinda sore today. probably would be helped by moving and not being hyperfocused on a single art piece for several hours at once.

04/25/2020 - woo hi!! i am TRYING to be productive while home-stuck. i have been practicing bass guitar, coding, working on another patch jacket.... ngl i'm Struggling a bit because the global situation and the way its impacting my own life isn't doing my mental health any favors, but I'm doin my best to cope by still Doing Things. online school is not a good fit for my adhd ass so I will probably drop 2 of my 3 classes... sigh. oh well! i voicechat with my boyf + friends almost every day and i have animal crossing and emo music to get me through it.
oh i made a friendproject page, if you wanna check that out. :3

04/09/2020 - wow look we're live!!!! this only took me like a week and that was mostly procrastination. woo! anyway hope you like the new look :)

04/05/2020 - when this goes up, it'll already be old! i'm blogging here during the development of this new site layout. it's looking cool so far! i'm pleased with it. :D

my work on the MCRV site has kind of inspired/emboldened me to make my own site a lot more cohesive and organized than it was. it's a bit tough to strike a balance between that and the vibe and aesthetic I want this site to have, but i think embracing the emo/blingee/myspace/deviantART feel is working out.

building a template right off the bat is helping a lot too. each page in the first couple iterations of this site was pretty much its own event, usually either put together from scratch or frankensteined together from previously written code.
