the OCs' & "Dedicated To The Kidz I Fought" page are officially up!! much excitement!!
Furthermore, I have two pfps up on the oc page for my characters Erin & Ollie!! I plan to get them them first when it comes to their pages.
I do want to make a site map--just because some sections of the site are reachable in certain sites. Just to make it easier for anyone that don't know where specifically to go! (I suppose I'll need to put that in the To Do list)
Unfortunately with my apartment wifi blocking neocities, I can't get to things as fast as I wish I could. So I usually end up having to update things while I'm at work or in class (without compromising my education). Which is frustrating, but I believe I'm managing it good enough so far!! Especially since my jobs are not very demanding.
Though if I keep up at this rate, I believe by the end of this semester I will have most of the sites functioning & pretty traversable!! I'm very proud with how much I've done so far, especially with juggling school, work, & personal antics.
Though I do believe the comics site will be one of the last things I get to. Mostly because there is no on-going comics right now, & I'd rather get to other aspects of the site where I will be more likely to update. This is not to say comics won't be happening, obviously not, but they're not a priority for a long while. I don't even know how I'm going to format the site for it when I eventually get to it. Guess that's just part of the process!
Anyways, I need to get back to class!! I'm writing this in statistics. I suuuure love frequency tables LMAO
if you haven't seen already, the stories page is up!
although, other than the main Aisles directory, the shelves directory only has dead links right now. Though I do plan to start on at least 1 story page & start thinking of how I'm going to format the OC's page!!
I've already been gathering assets, but there's a lot of other stuff that goes into it. Like what exactly I'm going to be putting ON the OC pages & what not. All that fun jazz
ALSO!! Some sites that previous didn't have music, do! I'll definitely have to remember all of them for when I get around to doing the resources page! That's definitely going to be a looooong one.
I dunno how much more I'll get to this weekend, but keep an eye out! I've got some homework to do & assignments due at the beginning of next week so let's hope I actually get to do more work on the sites!!
Well, that's pretty much it! see you guys around!!
well it's not like I've been gone forever lol but I thought that would be funny
if you haven't already checked, I put some art up on the art gallery & the art main site!! It's a little old picture but I've been wanting to display it! the other sections on the gallery page, other than home, shouldn't have anything to look at yet. I just don't want to break anything fundamental to the site trying to take them off. that template has already been fucky wucky with me.
while I'm writing this I'm waiting for my statistics class to start. scarfed down my lunch because I only have 40 minutes between leaving work & going to my first class. Well--I only have one other after this, but still!
I've been gathering assets for the future OC profile pages!! mostly background & stuff from Pinterest, but I'm excited & brainstorming what exactly I'm going to put on there & how I'm going to format it!
I've been looking around at other sites to get inspiration on how I'm going to format them! I've seen some SUPER cool stuff!! People are so creative!! I wish I was technical enough to do super neat stuff like that! maybe someday if I do this long enough!
well, class is starting! I have to take these notes! (I would do it by hand but my carpal tunnel is fucking me UP!! SO!! MANY!! NOTES!!!!)
it's been a little while!! not much has changed, really, I've just been so busy! I'm so tiredddd
but BIG NEWS!! I GOT THE TAG SYSTEM TO WOOOORK!!! YAAAAY
now...was it a matter of not reading all the notes the original creator if the template put on the HTML & CSS file? ...yeeeees BUT. I never said I was the smartest person! LMAO!!
I was tempted initially to contact the creator but they seemed like a busy person. Now I'm glad I didn't!! It was a note in the damn file! Well, least that's a good demonstration of the intelligence of the person making these sites (me...)
but everything has been good!! I've just been so busy with school & work! Plus I've been looking around to see what the best format it would be for my stories & oc pages. I haven't seen templates dedicated ENTIRELY for oc logging so I think I'm just going to have to get created with a template I've already used OR a new one.
furthermore, the art gallery site is in a rough state because...I've been too busy to draw. NOW I am gradually working on one & I have another I finished before school started. Though I need to crop it & make a thumbnail for it. It's far too long for it to be seem properly in the art gallery sight.
I might have my room properly decorated by next weekend! My sister is bringing back more 3M poster strips from home so hopefully I'll have enough to finish covering these walls!! I'll edit them to take out anything personal but it shouldn't be much that it makes the pictures uncomprehensible.
I wish the end of September could get here faster. I am going into September with only 60 something dollars in my account & I dunno what I'm going to do!! thankfully my car does great on gas mileage & my mom has been helpful making sure I stay fed, but it's still frustrating. I hate being broke, & I try to avoid it as much as possible!
I guess the broke college student stereotype was going to catch up with me eventually...
ALSO my fucking apartment blocked neocities on their firewall, I believe, & I CAN ONLY ACCESS IT AT SCHOOL!! WHICH IS SUCH BALLS!! they won't stop my coding POWERRR!!
Well, that's pretty much it for now! thanks for sticking around & look forward to all the stuff that may come in the future!!
if it isn't apparent, or this is the first blog post you're seeing, the fall semester had started at my university & I am EXHAUSTED & WORKING. ALL. THE. TIME!!
Not that I mind school or making money (I've been VERY lucky in my easy desk jobs), but by the time I get home at the end of the day I don't feel like doing anything but getting my pajamas, eating dinner, then curling up in bed!!
though I do still get time to do schoolwork at work, so don't think I'm neglecting my studies! Though to be fair classes have JUST started.
I'll have to share pictures of my apartment room soon, because I'm really liking how I've decorated it thus far! Though I'm going to have to get more poster 3m strips because I ran out! My sister, who I'm rooming with, is going home this weekend & my mum is giving her some more to take back with her.
I think you all would get a kick out of this, but on the first day of classes--I got mixed up on where I was working at the beginning of the day. I had a shift from 10 am to noon, which I thought was at the dorms. APPARENTLY NOT! so I had to bike QUICK over to our student union (which was too terribly far) & head to the 3rd floor. Though when I got in there the start on my first day, I didn't have my paperwork filled out! I thought that, because I've been working on campus for...almost three years, I wouldn't have to do any paperwork!
I was veeery wrong. So, thankfully, they gave me a ride across campus to human resources. All for them to keep me there for 5 minutes, check some things, & then give me a note on the back of an old business card saying I can work. I got a ride back but I ended up working 30 minutes later than I should've.
My coworkers were, thankfully, very nice & understanding, but lord I felt so stupid! Not to mention frazzled
Otherwise, I got to my classes on time! I got a little lost in the business building because apparently classes & professor offices are on different sides of the building (I was in the offices one). Then I had to get a good route on my bike back to the parking lot I parked in, but I forgot my extender to my bike lock!! THEN I forgot my WD-40 so my bike wouldn't squeak obnoxiously loud!
Well, that's why I was more prepared entering my second day. ...though I totally forgot my Ipad charger
well, we can't win them all!! I'll just have to be more prepared when I have to work a loooong shift like this!
oh yeah, while I'm writing this I'm at work. I only 2 hours left in my 5 hour & a half shift. It's been pretty chill!! my coworker even gave me some school shirts for me to have!! (yay, more comfy pajama shirts!!)
Okay this post is getting a little long & I don't want to keep you guys here longer than I have to. Wouldn't want to keep you guys from exploring!
hello again! I can definitely say today was a lot less overwhelmingly busy.
Work was longer, yeah, but it wasn't as busy where I couldn't work on anything. If you haven't checked already, the art page is up! The Art gallery portion is a little rusty? Only really in the cosmetics & the fact there isn't art up there yet. though they're a-okay to least look at!
Tomorrow I only work 2 hours, so I might get some more work done--but I do need to prepare for classes starting on Monday! I have laundry to do, a shower to take, & I HAVE to do something about my clothes still being in garbage bags LMAO
Sooo there may be no activity on Monday, depending on how work looks like! I work a shift in the morning at the dorms then in the afternoon for my federal work study job! Not to mention classes from 12 till 3 (which isn't too bad!). Helps my jobs are in pretty close distance & the dorm I work at is right beside the building I have all my classes in!
I dunno, I'm a little upset about it because it'll give me less of a reason to explore campus, but least I can get my biking in heading to the parking lot & to campus!
But I did some more decorating! I would've done more if I hadn't run out of poster 3m strips! Least my room is now more colorful! After I finished that I caved & took a 3 hour nap--I was exhausted! I haven't really relaxed since moving in so I suppose I needed it! I'm also glad I got some ibuprofen from my recent grocery order because LORD were my feet killing me! My hands are still somewhat swollen from moving in!
I'm just ready to get the ball back rolling again! I really enjoy college life & having that structure going to class, work, & getting to sleep at a reasonable hour! Makes me feel productive, even if I don't do much in a day!
Well, I'm going to try & sort through my clothes before I go to bed for the night. I have to wake up early again tomorrow to open the dorm desk!
yeaaah don't be surprised there was nothing for yesterday--
we got moved in! yay! Though now the unpacking begins & that's a boooo. I've got some stuff unpacked, but all my clothes are still in totes & bags, & I've only really set up my desk yesterday. Other than that everything is pretty much still packed away. The apartment is really nice, I'm very happy with us picking this place! The only real issue we had was connecting to the wifi, because how they wrote it on the paper was not accurate.
I'm at work right now--it's been & GOING to be busy for a while since the freshman are checking into the dorm (I work at the front desk & assist them in the process). Then I work all through the weekend & Monday. Though then Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday I work at my other job. I gotta make the money!! Though once the semester officially starts up everything should start to slow & I can work on the site (if I don't have assignments taking priority).
Though it helps this website will basically be my "social media" rather than some scam of a platform, app, or website. Like I have tumblr but only to scroll & look at stuff rather than post. Just feels like a waste of time.
I miiiight get to some work tonight but I won't make any promises. If I do update anything, it'll probably be small. I have to get as much organizing, decorating, & unpacking done as possible before the semester starts.
well, that's pretty much it for now, I'll be seeing you around!
I've definitely been a busy bee! for better or for worse.
not only have I been working on the site, I found this nice template for the art page! (I had to start over because I broke it somehow lol but least I know what I'm doing) I've been getting as much packing done as possible for when I move into my apartment on Thursday!
I also cleaned out my car--I have FAR too much to do tomorrow to have more things to worry about! Plus the day before I washed my car (only for it to get dirty again--I hate being parked under trees!!)
Though tomorrow I don't think I'll be able to update the site much or make another blog post. We're getting the cars packed tomorrow since our move in time is early Thursday morning. I have to wake up early tomorrow to bring last minute items downstairs, but I also have some appointments, too! I have an oil change at 2:30 pm & then I have to drive a little whiles away for my hair cut appointment at 4!!
I desperately need a hair cut but I'm totally going to exhausted by the end of yesterday. Better go to bed early just to make sure I don't enter Thursday in a grumpy mood.
I don't think I'll be able to do much updates on Thursday, either. We should get done by midafternoon but I might spend most of that unpacking & getting my room a semblance of normal. Plus I have to work Friday morning so it'll be vital I get sorta organized LOL.
It's a busy time, but I think I'll be okay! Though have me in your hearts--it's still going to be A LOT of work.
hello again! it's yet another day of site updates!
last night I finished up on the homepage, so it should all be cool beans! If you haven't checked it out, I have a chatbox set up! I'd love to hear from you!
furthermore, I started on my about me page! it's still in progress as I'm writing this, but it's coming along nicely!
also, I'm sure you've noticed, we have custom cursors!! I haven't figured out how to customize the pointer cursor but I'll get to that some other day! I also got background audio to work!! so on the homepage I have just supermarket ambiance while on here I have a song playing! I really like it & feel it really encapsulates me so I put it on here!
plus, if you haven't checked it ou, I have updated the 'song of the day' once again!! it's a really good one!
but on a more personal note, I move into my apartment Thursday! So there won't be much work happening on here that day. I've been packing & I plan on finishing up on that today. (minus personal stuff like my meds, computer, & everyday uses) then I need to wash my car. they're a little dirty LOL. I don't want to be pulling up to my apartment in a dirty car!
The fall semester starts up next Monday, which is exciting! I'm ready to get back on a routine again. I don't function well when I'm aimless. My executive dysfunction & depression tend to flare up. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to update the site just fine! My jobs tend to allow lots of free time since they're just desk jobs. Though won't be as fast as it is now.
Well, I gotta get my day moving. Wouldn't want to waste waking up this early!
hey! thanks for stopping by my blog! while I'm writing this, the state of it is pretty rough (most of the cosmetic stuff is not done), but I'm otherwise really happy with how it's turning out!
this is a link to the template I am using! template! it's really nice & pretty easy to get customized & set up!
