A Mess of Thoughts and Virtual Pets

november 2, 2024

where did i leave off...

So I haven't done really any work on my website lately. I have so many ideas and ambitions for this, but gosh, I am no web designer.

I do want to make my about page, in part so I can really put out who I am. I do tend to get too caught up in formatting when I'm trying to make my site. I need to remember that honestly, a lot of it should be plain text, in headings or paragraphs.

I had a due dates system, but every date on it has passed, several unfulfilled. I had an unexpected change in my life, though, and it's still causing me a bit of stress/making me more tired and less fit to work on stuff like my website.

Hopefully I can remember I have this blog, and remember I should really work on my site, and remember that HTML isn't actually that hard! It's CSS that's the problem, but I can work on that.

One of my motivators to work on this is to have somewhere to display my Chickensmoothie pets. What a nice virtual pet site-- no grinding for currencies (well, I've been grinding a bit for the Halloween tokens), no remembering to feed the pets, no breeding for the perfect combination of colors and genes. Also, forums! And the oekaki is fun to use too!

Negative Number on my Budget Spreadsheet

hopefully spending well...

Went a lot of places today. I would love to be able to use the library more reliably, but, well, I just can't get out there frequently enough.

I'm trying my best to learn gouache painting. Why does painting require so many supplies? Also, Poscas are locked up at Michael's. Fancy shmancy. I painted a little orange wedge that was meant to be a lemon but I just did not get the hues right.

I've bought a couple of books at the library instead of checking any out-- maybe I'll post my thoughts on them once they're read.

My due dates for projects are inching closer...

I've got a lot of candy now. Oops. But I have... Jagarico!! I love those. And these swedish sour blackberry gummy fish are delicious.

God writing this makes me feel like I'm writing for my fanfic lol

HTML and CSS...

...but not javascript.

I'm really only writing this one so I don't start off with an empty blog. I set a due date for myself for "blog on website", so by god I'm gonna do that!

I'll have something more interesting later, probably. Web design is not my passion or my forte, it just makes me feel good to have my own sort of thing! Y'know?

Well, until next time! Whenever I actually have something to say.
