Hello!!! My name is Leah. I like older website styles and I just found Neocities so I'm giving it a shot. It's a small thing, but I think this silly introduction to coding made me realize that I really kinda like it. Maybe I'll go from tiptoeing my way around making a dumbass blog to making the next Hit Game. Now that would be rad
Note: place very good image here.
I followed that surprisingly demure cat Penelope's little 10-page tutorial. It's obviously the basics, but the introduction to HTML has been pretty fun!!! Despite the fact that I'm currently typing this at 3:41 A.M. after a lovely Halloween party that has moderately drained my social battery. I could probably keep going (because this is honestly really fun) but I should probably save more of this for tommorrow. But damn it if it isn't nice just typin away on the good ol' index.html, she says as she pretends to be a seasoned veteran in markup languages.
Alrighty. Time for BED I guess
after this to-do list
TO DO:
************
What's up! It's the next day (October 20th, 2024), 8:54 PM as of writing this. I didn't really do much all day other than Be Lethargic. I actually had to look up the definition of lethargic to make sure it didn't mean something like "sluggish or low-energy as a result of potent substances." It didn't.
I've ran into a new puzzle to solve: I tried using a different font on the same line, but I couldn't figure out how to get that to work. After some googling and scrolling through a couple threads, it seems it's something that I can do if I learn the ever-elusive CSS. I still don't know what the fuck that is. Like I know it's a thing that deals with styling the HTML document... But looking into it just seems daunting. Ok I really gotta follow the to-do list. Next time I have a nice little sesh here, that's what I'll focus on
also I think i'm gonna put the date as a header
************
HELLO AGAIN I promise I will get into a grind here eventually. Here's the thing though:
It's like 8:40 PM and I am going to a dyke bar in a bit so like. there's no time for making website. i'll be back soon
just as a reminder for myself: work on that to-do list god damn it
************
Welp. This didn't pan out quite as I hoped. But here I am again!!! ig!!! "I promise I will get into a grind here eventually." good fucking grief
I really need to stop kidding myself with these dreams and fantasies of consistent routines and schedules of diving into completely new interests. This is something that does genuinely strike my fancy, and MAYBE (GARGANTUAN MAYBE) I'll try to do more of this. Thing is, I only just concretely realized that I just... don't use my laptop often. Because it's old. And a piece of crap. Like I'm literally dissuaded from using it because of its performance. Which bums me out! I used to use my laptops like crazy!! I can't remember the last time I actually sat down and played a PC game. I miss that a lot. Anyways, in addition to my PC being unnattractive, I think my brain is just too scrambled with ideas all the time for me to focus on something new that I like. I get so excited about something, put my brain power to it for like 3 days, and then I fucking dip. And then I'm uspet about it.
Is that ADHD?
eh, who's to say.
Also, BRIEF LIFE UPDATE.....
Towards the end of January our landlord had to SELL THE PROPERTY, and we basically had a month to just up and leave (which is not a lot of time to move! Usually you get like, 3 months, I think? But no dice for us). Finding a new apartment was a bit of a scramble. It was stressful and awful!!! But we found a place, thank goodness. A little pricier and out of the way from our jobs, but it was the best option we had for such little time. Our new place is also a little nicer, at least. Tad more space, better appliances... My room has a big ass closet (not a walk-in, mind you) that gives me some nice storage space. But it's also an incentive to build a better wardrobe (I currently, mostly wear a stunning regalia of t-shirts, sweatshirts, and pants that I don't like. tgirl swag)
We're all moved in now and we're adjusting, so that's good. Lots of people helped and I am grateful for that. I am at least happy to report that I am typing this at a DESK! Okay, well. It's really just kind of a side table with flip-up extra surface, but I'll take it!!! It can actually fit in my room, so in it goes. I am just ecstatic to have a place to SIT that isn't my bed. I'm enjoying the change quite a bit, really. Actually, it's pretty fucking weird how "at-home" I feel already. Who knew that comfort could be a strange feeling.
In other BAD news,.,.,..,.,., I got sick this week. Nothing much to say other than I had a nasty fever and body aches and headaches and asbdjefhlaibresglueiarbg. Still have an awful swollen throat, and I've had so. much. tea. gentle criminal core rn istg
Anyways I've pretty much just been hangin out for a week. Mostly feeling like shit and not working half the week but It Is What It Is. Gosh I cannot wait to be rid of this illness.
Alright I think I'll leave it here for the night. I think my tea is almost ready. Be back tomorrow or 6 months from now lol
************
I'm back!!! Just after midnight. Had a mildly eventful Sunday, so that was fun. Ran to CVS in the morning to grab some cough drops because jesus effing christ i think my diaphragm has a six pack. seriously i've been coughing like LITERALLY every 10 seconds or so and it acrtucally makes it so difficult to focus on things. like typoing.
then i went to taco bell because i was real real hungry. nice
thennnn i came home and just kinda hung out like usual. i did some work on this lil online community thing i'm involved in (no i will not divulge cuz i don't feel like it >:] ) which made me feel kinda productive, so yay. now i'm here yippeee
anyways I got work in the morning and i would like my lungs to stop exploding. imma lay my ass down now. night night stranger
