Christmas is a coming people!! I am literally having sleepless nights over it which totally defeats the point of the fesitve season whateverr. Signed up for a silly amount
of overtime over the xmas period and am not really mentally ready for babys first retail employee christmas.. yay!
In other words I have loved making new stuff for the website at the moment and feel very much out of my creative slumpness that was occurring for many months. Going to def have a bit of an old page overhaul in these next few weeks, obvs i won't change too much this site is very special to me the way that it is but i also want it to work better lol. New thursday song is so good, norman brandon from texas is the reason has essentially joined the band and you can def tell on the song which is excellent news for me hehe.
Been watching regular show all day every day recently as I had never watched it before - it is so freaking good i'm so happy theres so many seasons :)). Started a twilight rewatch this evening and had to literally stop myself from watching anymore as I was going to sleep early but now I am here writing a blog post and suddenly it is tomorrow -_- anyway it really inspired me to want to finally update my twilight shrine so I may do that tomorrow :) stay warm people
happy thursday! hehe - welcome to the first post on this blog (for now, i am planning on archiving all my old posts and putting them here) i really like the layout i made
for this (if ur seeing this in the future its the brick layout), i watched brick for the 100th time again last week and i couldn't stop thinking abt making a layout for it and it's not bad for one of my first tries at a layout :p. work today was not so fun, some people r just mean af sometimes and its hard to just shake it off :( maybe i just need to not take other people venting out their anger so personally but its hard! anyway i got to go home and have soup so that was excellent ^.^ realllly want to make a comment section for this i'll look into it tomoz. peace!
*forgot to say new thursday song coming out tonight!!! so exciting
the emo portal has been updated with lots of words that i wrote and took too long dwelling over lol. going to add loads more to the page but i like how its turning out :). planning on changing this page soon and making a separate changelog for actual site updates and then making a blog for my life updates. christmas is coming yall and idk if im ready for it - the year has been a long one but ive had good times so i dont want it to end :0.. watched the best film ever yesterday (brick, 2005) and now i will tell all of u to watch it too it is very good :) i am basically asleep as i am writing this but wanted to say iv got the neocities bug real bad again so expect lots more from this site :) thanks 4 readin'

started actually putting up the emo portal today after i spent ages messing around with photo editing and layouts and the like :0 really liking how its turning out so far, i used lots of brushes from salvaged.nu which i will make sure to credit back like the responsible internet user i aspire to be when the page has more stuff on it. i am enjoying making it so much and have lots of plans for different pages ^^ im hoping its going to be a combo between a wiki for emo but also have lots of my own takes and reccomendations as well :p the photos i used for the banner are from here and are of geoff and tom from thursday. idk if thursday would hate being called emo but thats something i will discuss on the page LOL hope u guys r well and not too cold wherever u are :) life has been stressful af lately but i did play the first lucius with my friend and that was so much fun so its not all bad. in other news i think i accidentally manifested the mcr comeback as a week before the announcement i was listening to them like crazy. (if u guys are going to the shows have a crazy time and if u didn't get tickets pls dont be sad they were so freaking expensive, if they do tour europe they better be cheaper and everyone who couldnt go in the us can go) i am really back in my mcr era which is honestly great i love good music! i got some thursday CDs as well which is very exiciting - i will take pictures of those at a later date if anyone is interested LMAO. anyway go listen to bulletproof heart right now and have a dance party or don't LOL

Forgot to update this page LOL but the Jay Chou shrine is done sort of yay! life update alert i got a job and have finally sucumbed to the capitalist hamster wheel okay maybe its not that serious but i now have responsiblities and what have u and am not coping well with it LOL. anyhow i forgot to say i saw american football live and may have actually ascended into emo heaven it was that amazing. i heart u mike kinsella :p been feeling majorly uncreative since i graduated not sure if anyone will read this but if anyone has any tips to enjoy art again pls message it is getting desprate. thinking about finishing some web pages iv been meaning to do for a couple years HA also considering making a emo music portal :-) stay tuned

So today the Jay Chou shrine is finally taking form! yay! I've been working on the graphics for a while now so it feels good to finally get it on the site ~~ I was super super inspired by old Xanga layouts and the like for this one (made me consider maybe changing up the design of my old pages perhaps but idk how i feel about it - some of them are like ancient relics at this point!) I enjoyed designing it way more that I thought .. all graphic design should have shiny gradients and drop shadows,,,
10th July 2024
Helloooo!! Big life update news - I graduated from college!! I cannot believe I started this site before I had even enrolled - what the frick is time anyway!
So now I consequently have lots of free time lounging around my parents place feeling nostalgic with not a lot else to do hehe. I've been making plans for an album review page for
a couple months now but since I fell off the coding bandwagon like 2 years ago it's probs gonna take me some sweet time. In other site news however, I've been crawling around gifcities trying to get a suitible collection of Jay Chou fansite gifs so that I can make a little shrine which I'll get done soon I think. In other life news... I SAW THURSDAY. LIVE. IN PERSON. I was like 2m away from Geoff Ricklys face and I had the most amaze time eva getting smushed to Understanding in a Car Crash. Oh BTW I highly reccomend watching a live performance of Paris in Flames on YouTube - like any of them. It may possibly be the best live song of all time ever and the videos are very good too. Ooh I finally have gotten round to reading Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer it is very good but such a pain to lug around the place. I was reading it outside earlier and my actual wrist was hurting LOL. I promise I won't leave it this long again (says someone who really can't be trusted) I hope everyone reading this is doing okay and has a lovely July :-)
