still figuring out how i want to format this, but figured i should write my first blog anyways (it can be reformatted later!). its like im rediscovering internet addiction - like when i got my first laptop at 8, and would play sodoku on it all day because i couldnt figure out how to install anything else but i still /really/ wanted to use it. like when i got my first phone and it was my entire life for a few months. and now im here again - adjusting to the apps (sites on the web) i use on my phone, yes, but also discovering new computer-exclusive activities. i didnt realize how many websites had actual cool unique layouts, because they are simplified and sanitized on mobile versions and app editions!

strangely, being on the computer feels more productive than on my phone.. perhaps because social media like twitter is less satisfying to endlessly scroll on, but i love the sensation of typing so messaging my friends and updating my site consumes me more. ive been posting on a new forum called teensyangls, made by an artist i love, and it is a much nicer feel than standardized social media. i want to look for more forums, and i did, but 99% of what i clicked on was dead. and not even recently dead, but inactive from 2012, 2009, or even as far back as 2001. i hope to discover new corners of the internet as i use actual websites more, as opposed to apps!

Okay, now some discussion for how id like to format the site, specifically the blog section. id like to encase my text in borders and margins, so that the different posts dont bleed into each other. id also like to 'tag' each post by year and topic, so that I can view all my art related blogs, personal life related, etc, rather than having to search through ALL of them! it seems everytime i make a site (and this is my 9th neocities lol), i end up making a million link directories because i am addicted to organization

well! first official blog written, killian
