Favorites

Music

I like all kinds of music, but my tastes often gravitate around rock in some capacity. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Hole/Courtney Love, In This Moment, and Lana Del Rey. I want to hear more Type O Negative and Amy Winehouse lately as well.

Movie

It's a tie between the 2014 Chinese film "Girls" and the 2004 Japanese film "Shimotsuma Monogatari", or "Kamikaze Girls" in English title. Neither movie was a masterpiece, but it feels so stinking cozy and comforting to lay back and watch them. They are both frequently watched and loved.

Food

I love food! I think if I had to choose one, though, it'd be a warm, freshly baked bread with a bit of butter and a cup of tea.

Artist

I love Mark Ryden's work and have been a big fan for years. Last year, I recieved the Snow Yak Show postcard microportfolio and the Anima Animals book as gifts from a close, recently deseased friend. I treasure both the gifts and our last moments together greatly. I also appreciate Steven Rhodes' work and have gotten a lot of comments lately when I wear one of my t-shirts with his designs on them.

Animal

I love cats and rabbits!

Season

Autumn! I also enjoy winter. I'm not a summer person at all; I despise the heat.

Color

You can always win me over with a soothing dusty pastel. I also really like electric blue (Yes, hello? Moi-même-Moitié?)

TV Show

Westworld, for sure. I have yet to see the final season, though. I think I'm still in denial about it being cancelled.

Welcome to my little corner of heaven. As with many other users on neocities, I long for the simplicity, freedom, and passion that make so many of us nostalgic for the "old internet". I fiddled with web design a bit as a child, but didn't have the understanding or resources to host my own website, so I'm excited to take on this little project for myself. I'll be treating this as a personal diary of sorts. I'll also be posting information on various topics, such as feminism, cats, tea, egl, embroidery... You know, all the stereotypes. I have a couple of plans, so here's a little list:

I'm thinking of re-doing some stuff, like the navigation bar and fine-tuning the CSS
also finishing the navigation bar would be helpful
a part of fine-tuning the CSS would be figuring out dynamic sizing so my window doesn't look like a tiny pea on some monitors
figure out where to throw fun stuff like games, virtual stickerbook, a yum yum shoppe (I've been trying to make my own!), etc
find a spot to throw links to all the cool places I've discovered while building this site!

I'll probably adjust this list from time to time as I get everything set up. I made this account on a whim and am teaching myself as I go, so it'll be a slow process (p.s. hello nonnas). Please be patient with me throughout this time and I look forward to creating a space that you and I can both enjoy!
