cue me figuring out how html (AND CSS. i need fonts i enjoy seeing) works because i want to make a pretty blog
when i was 11/12, i'd just started noticing couples around, always talking, and being the kid who was always referred in the third person as "does he even know how to talk??", i always thought to myself, 'how do they even think of things to talk about?'. then i was lucky enough to get a girlfriend, and amusingly, thought to myself (because i was way too embarrassed to actually tell anyone my thoughts), "i still have no idea." this sentiment is astonishingly similar to how i feel about this blog. i've read some, and i always marvelled at how they found things to talk about, and i wondered if there was any knowledge in my mind i, too, could publish onto the internet for no particular reason except letting my thoughts reach the world, and after hitting a roadblock there, i let the idea ruminate for a year (approximately, do not trust my time blindness). but the blog seems made for me.
sam kept intermittently talking about how she wanted to make one, and i was recommended a youtube video about "making your own internet", claiming it back with 1. rss feeds, which i've always wanted to get to, but somehow never stay focused on (the adhd strikes again), 2. communities and single-focus forums, and of course, 3. blogs (this video is where i was recommended zonelets from). add into that a persistent low-laying desire to learn js and css, and soga's blog post he sent to us to read, and it really felt like it was time for me to get started. i do have some experience playing around with the tumblr themes, but i really just pasted an entire monolith of html code into the place they said to, and the most i got to was adding a few fonts i liked more by pasting the import link google fonts gives you.
so here i am! excuse any formatting, please, i'm still getting the hang of how html flows on a webpage, and sizing paragraphs etc. give me like 4-5 more posts (if you're from the future hopefully you can just jump to it now). i've just moved into room 10, and looking at the rain pouring is making me feel like it was a good decision (even though there's going to be a puddle in my room soon)(i hate mumbai).
you've yet to have your finest hour
, radio ga ga, queen. freddie always makes me feel like i can do better with myself and my life. in the words of john robins, i'm so bad at painting, [...], i was painting in the mirror, and i thought, 'don't let freddie down'.
