(7/28/25) went on vacation and remembered how to be my normal self in front of strangers. so much of the big text I write on this website is semi-formal and it makes working on it kind of taxing. I'm letting go of the idea that this will be a writing website, I'll definitely talk about my writing when it's up but as a published author I would have to have a more professional website anyway soooo LETS GO CRAZY GO STUPID. a bunch of pages are gonna go down shortly and this is why, when I need to make a chance this big I don't want the pages left up as I work on it one at a time
(7/17/25) sometimes my theme switcher fails to put a theme into the URL slot and breaks everything, and I don't even know why? it fixes itself with a normal refresh. sometimes the website also just gives me a "this site can't be reached" error before quickly fixing itself. I have seen this error on other neocities sites so I think it's more about the web host than anything in our codes, there's a good chance its the same with the theme switcher. hm.
(7/15/25) last night I looked up common transmasc names for research purposes and many of the people who google this do it because they don't want to pick a common name so I of course found content tailored to this mindset and uhhhhh it is insane to me that there are people out here like "you're smart for not wanting to choose the cliche transmasc names because everyone who does that is a cringe SJW" and the names to avoid they list are like, 2 common gender neutral names and then a bunch of masculine names that have been on the SSA's top 10 baby name list for 40+ years
(7/14/25) I got through about 11 characters for artfight before I lost steam. I was kinda hoping that I could do one character a day until the end of the month (excluding the week where I'm away from my computer), but I don't feel too bad about not getting as much done as I hoped, because drawing so frequently reminded me how to not worry about everything being perfect and stop crashing when it isn't. I have the energy to work on website assets again, so some of the placeholder graphics can go away soon (like the ID pictures on the VIPs page)
(7/14/25) every so often I wake up in a cold sweat over the fear that I've written something too cringe here to be accepted even by people who agree that you should be cringe if it's authentic and makes you happy
(7/13/25) I FOUND THE WEBKINZ DIAMOND??? THE RAREST GEM IN THE GAME??????
