hello this is my log

updates + gabbing

home

8/9/26: updated my cd collection and iloveyou page and linked my zine page anddd thinking of more pages i could make... i went to an interpol concert last night and it fortified my love for them, it was just awesome. so maybe i'll make an interpol page because i was just kind of dumping info about them onto bryce and realized i could just redirect that onto here. i always say i miss working on my website butt well it's true... not working on it for a while though was probably good though because now i have more things to add

3/26/26: haven't had much to say here cause i haven't been making huge updates... only eentsy ones... like right now i changed the background of hannah's page to be my Own picture of grass cause it was originally some pic i found online but i'm trying to use my own photos (and from friends) as much as possible. i feel like there are manyyy changes i have to make to pages because they're no longer applicable but i can't tell if i wanna leave them there. back when i first started making my site, i discussed this with jen and she said it'd be cool to leave things even as they change because then it's like a time capsule. but i also get worried that maybe things will be muddled/confusing because there are other pages that are super up-to-date. i guess it doesn't matter too much. i also think if i got rid of pages then many pipelines would be killed off. so like deleting one page would lead the path to SEVERAL pages (some of which are new or simply ARE still applicable to my current state...) getting cut off and inaccessible. ok so i'll probably just leave outdated pages...

2/22/26: i really wanted there to be this big update but i think that was actually putting even more pressure on me... so i'm just opening my website back up LOL. i was gonna do another scavenger hunt but i'll just add a date for when it's ready. i'm trying to remember that i want this website to be fun and a place for me to do and say what i want.

2/5/26: i saw an instagram post the other week of mcr's old websites and there was this really cool thing they did w their hands opening/closing during tbp era. i'm trying to figure out how to recreate it without javascript... hoping it works! thought it would be fun to do for the andyers page.

1/30/26: heeeyyy back on my website bs lol. i'm moving some pre-existing pages around and thinking of where to put new ones. i'm trying to put more thought into the pages i make rather than have a bunch of unfinished pages that i end up deleting before even really starting to work on them. i've missed having something to work on!!! hoping that this year is one of more time dedicated to creative pursuits.

1/17/26: made another page dedicated to a friend and what i'm realizing (yet already knew subconciously) is that i create things Best when i'm working from emotion because then i feel really passionate and dedicated and have so much to say... but these days i can't access my emotions as much. i'll have tiny bursts of energy but i mainly experience those when i'm not home, so i can't even translate those feelings into any Creations... hence the lack of substantial updates.
i miss working on my website so much, i just feel too robotic.

1/11/26: worked more on the 2026 page, yay. i also changed the header on the home page from "my test site" to "my playpen" cuz it felt more fitting. it's a reference to when i'd go to my friend's house in high school and she'd have a mat set up for me to sleep on. i can't remember if it was her or her sister who made up the phrase "raggy's playpen" in reference to my designated space on the floor lol but i thought awe wait lets tie in the old with the new... let's see. what else have i been doing... rn i'm just kinda reorganizing the home page a bit. these days i only really go on my website to add to the playlist.

1/8/26: making small tweaks to things as per yooj (how would you spell that?) but the most important thing to me is that i added songs to the pages dedicated to specific people... initially only half had one... oops. i take this song shit seriously which is kinda funny cuz i don't even have a niche or particularly special taste in music. like it's all pretty popular stuff LOL but whatever it's deeply important to me. anyway. working on a 2026 page still.

1/3/26: I KEEP GETTING SUCKED INTO LOOKING AT MY OWN SITE as if i haven't seen every page a million times oh my god. whatever i started to make my 2026 playlist page so i at least put that on here. more coming soon hopefully...

12/15/25: i had this idea two weeks ago but i'm gonna put it here so i don't forget it again. i'm thinking of making more pages iSpy-inspired. i miss being in elementary school and getting to look through the iSpy picture books. that + my layered instagram story posts were the inspirations of certain pages so i want to do more of that. i also just really love pngs. so the iSpy-esque pages would just be a bunch of pngs and pictures on a page that take you places. well i'm already doing that but i want to do it a more consistent way. i've also been looking a lot at other websites and maybe want to have things more traditionally organized but i'm not sure. also also want to maybe make a list of things i need to work on. i have a notes app of pages i want to make but i never really look at it, so i think if i had a page for that then perhaps i'd actually work on it

12/14/25: I MADE MY CALIFORNIA PAGE go look for it....
well i've been (very) slowly but surely getting back into working on this site... made a few new pages over the last few days and some minor edits to existing ones (again). minor edits will be constant so i probably won't mention those in future logs but well i am just letting you know...

12/7/25: added a short comic in the hannah section + made small updates to a few pages. also started working on some other pages but i'm taking forever to make progress because i still feel kinda sluggish from my trip...

11/27/25: i feel a bit silly cuz the only reason why i thought to compress images is bc i was looking something up on the neocities reddit (unrelated to photos) and some guy was like "people need to compress their images lol imagine being so fucking stupid that you don't know to do that. it's so embarrassing seeing the images inch onto the page bar by bar." and i thought "omg ya how embarrassing lol who wouldn't know that...😂" knowing that my website was doing that and that i hadn't been compressing. but anyway i compressed every image and i went from using 19.6% of space to 6% so that's dope.
i have to go back and make sure the images work tho

11/26/25: oomf sent me photos of the clown scavenger hunt and i thought "wow the placement of several things is very fucked up..." so i investigated just now and i realized that i had my screen zoomed out to 90% while i was making things. oops... i think before i add anything new i'll compress images. might be a task for this weekend.

11/24/25: eek it's 2:50 right now but i finally reached a place where i think someone could be occupied for a while if they tried to navigate this lol. i keep having a ton of ideas but that keeps sending me all over the place. i forgot that when i undertake projects i become insanely engrossed. it's been kind of nice though because i've really missed having my alone time, it's when i'm most productive... but regularly getting 2-5 hours of sleep is hurting me severely so i'll probably take a break.
i'm working on a landing page right now. i hope im finished by 4am at least lololol i have work and then dinner at a friend's house right afterwards tomorrow oh i am so fucked. fuck and i need to make a quick page about the scavenger hunt. oh my god fuck my life.fuck

11/22/25: i'm realizing i should have been compressing images and maybe i'd have an eetsy bit more space. i've only used up 17% but it's making me nervous... also i'm really loving image mapping!!! maybe my favorite thing to do.
going to bed now but i added the scavenger hunt that fiona suggested. i think i may be ready to show some friends what i've made (so far) by tomorrow perhaps...!!! veryveryvery excited but also feeling nervous and even uncomfortably vulnerable ... deleted some things....

11/16/25: omfg this site is all i can think about. i can't shut up about it.
since the last update, i've hidden most of the links because SOMEONE kept looking at things before they were ready, i've made a list of the main pages i want to make + how they connect to other pages, aaaandddwdwed i've been trying to put most of my focus on one page at a time.,, right now i'm trying to complete my fiona page. there's this one thing i caaaaan't figure out and it's annoying me so i want to give up even tho it'd be dope as fuuuck but then i remembered the whole point of this was to force myself out of my comfort zone and learn new things. so i'm trying desperately to see it through. there's probably an easy/obvious solution. i can tell that the way i'm doing things is convoluted despite only really doing basic things but if it works then whatever... i'm just throwing things together and hoping it sticks. also i think i need more filler pages. i'll probably do that rn while i take a tiny break from the problem i'm figuring out.
oh also i drew a background for the homepage and tried to organize it more nicely... i also drew the background for another page & mashed up a photo i took of my shattered mirror-glazed ceramic remnants. i wanna try 2 include my own images and art more to make it more personal is what i'm feeling.
OHHH MY GOD LITERALLY right after i finished writing this entry i tried to fix the Thing that i was struggling with and the answer was literally right there oh my god bruh and it's something i was playing with already. i was right it literally was an extremely obvious and easy solution. silly silly silly me. oh how silly.
and well so i ended up working at la copa for 6 hours

11/11/25: okok so i think basically i should actually plan things out before i start implementing them. and also that i should finish a page before i move on to the next one because right now i have many many unfinished pages. when i set out to make this site i was just using it to practice coding before making an actual proper website. but i have like one million ideas of pages i want to make on here so i'll make the html so i don't forget my idea, but that just kind of pulls me in several directions at once so i don't focus and feel like i'm not getting anything substantial done. i also wasn't even going to make this nice or cohesive at all but the possibilities of what you can do with a website excited me LOL so it's still mainly just a testing site but it's also a thing of its own now. i like the idea of creating a labyrinth of pages. in senior studio, we had to create a sentence where each word was a hyperlink, so that was kind of at the back of my mind when i kept making hyperlinks here, and thennn i think the concept of a labyrinth has also been on my mind because of the torture labyrinth. i like seeing the way certain pages on my website can connect in different ways. i also think i got really excited about learning something new that i couldn't help telling some friends about this so now i also want to create something that i think could be fun for other people to explore. i don't think that this is something i'd want everyone to see though because i have the deep urge to write about things personal to me aaaand yeah but yeah. it's just an outlet for me and my thoughts and feelings and interests i think.

11/8/25: i think i have a cold and my head and ears and throat hurt deeply and i keep falling asleep and i wanted to work on things right after i got off of work but i was much too tired and passed out... still very deeply exhausted but i wanted to do one thing. i wish that i could just be really good at coding immediately because i have so many dope ideas in my head but they're too ambitious for me rn and i want to try doing them anyway but i know it's essential i figure out the fundamentals first. my head races with more thoughts and ideas than i can keep up with. owww i'm feeling impatient...

11/6/25: and okay welllll now that it's the next day and i was showing hannah the few things i've done i feel less insane about everything... feels good when i correctly implement things. and i've already expressed this to her but she makes me want to be less self-critical. so as i was saying, i was showing her the bare bones of what i've done and she was very encouraging, so i thought, "oh okay wait hannah's like kind of excited so now i also feel excited" so now i feel more inclined to keep going. then fiona walked by was also encouraging and in addition to loving fiona as a friend, i have an immense amount of respect for them as an artist, so to create something and have them react positively feels EXTRA good... #goodthingsarecoming

11/5/25: I HATE CODING THIS IS SO ANNOYING and i'm on like step 1...!!!!! fuck this. seriously. i would give up but i already told 2 of my friends i was trying to make a website and i had big beautiful grand plans so now i have to follow through or else they'll know i'm a foolish quitter who can't code or keep a goal.
