Tuesday, April 8th 2025: Fresh New Look!

The last blog entry was somewhat therapeutical. So much so that I've decided to start working on a new layout for my homepage at 5am in the morning. I had to wait until the sun was out until I could take the perfect shot for the background. I think it's a bit messy but what's important is that it's my site and I get to do whatever I want. I think it reflects myself quite a bit, with all the things on my desk and the clutter that comes with it.

Lately I've been feeling good about myself and where I'm heading. I'm heading towards nowhere in particular, obvs, but I have a good feeling about it. I don't know if that's part of the antidepressants working or it's because picking up a new hobby has sparked a will to live within me. Coding this site was frustrating but ultimately worth it! I love troubleshooting and digging up forums. I realized a line of my code wasn't working because I had missed a COLON. SOMEHOW. It's fixed now but man that answered a lot of my questions on why my scrollbar wasn't working as intended. Now that that's out of the way I could focus on adding MORE PAGES. MORE.

I've seen so many cool stuff on neocities that I felt inspired to make multiple pages too! Most of them are empty at the moment :P but I've cut out the buttons a while back and I really wanted to use them in something. I want to have a section of my blog dedicated to sites that inspire me, as well as a catch-all media tab for everything I've played/read/watched and things I'd recommend to other people. Oh, and a place for all the blinkies and site buttons I want to add (>_<) I've always wanted to incorporate those into my site but because my theme is heavily analog I'm having trouble coming up with ways to integrate it!!! But I will do it! somehow! I'll find a way! Also since I'm planning on adding more pages I thought it'd be handy to have a sitemap button prepped in advance. I'll... Figure it out at some point.

I need to get back on track and focus on the upcoming con in May but most shops are still closed for Eid and most of my to-do list involves buying things for con prep so!!! I guess I have no choice other than to focus on something else... like this blog... oh noooo...

Mmm, what other plans do I have? I'm excited for 2 playdates I have with my friends later this week! Ever since the post-paycheck euphoria hit my heart has been full of love and joy and whimsy in this world. I could spend money on stuff now. Wheeeeeee. Writing in this blog has been a fun way to decompress and unwind after a long day. I enjoy recapping things and sort of sit with my thoughts for a while. Yeah, this feels nice. I hope you have a wonderful day!
