I didn't set out to make a dreamwidth account today, but somehow here I am.

A Brief History

In February I stopped using tumblr. A lot of people are stepping away from social media these days, citing some pursuit of self-improvement and pursued mental health. I could lie and say that I was that kind of person, but honestly my account was small and I got tired of posts met with silence. That might happen here too, but at least then I'll have an excuse.

Not using modern social media doesn't mean I'm trying to be offline altogether. I've been working on making a neocities site, but that means first having to improve my currently basic coding skills. So in the meantime I figured a journal is a fun way to fill space while I make a convoluted and unnecessary personal site.

About the Journaler

In my not-online time I'm working on getting a degree in journalism. At first I was an English major, but I hate one of the classes I'm taking this semester so much that I threw the entire major in the trash. I'm also currently the writer for a community radio show that even the people who live in my area haven't heard of.

Technically I have an AO3 account that I could link, but there's... nothing there right now. I'm a slow poster and people kept demanding more updates so I kind of just. Deleted the whole fic. Despite swearing off ever posting anything again, there are a few drafts sitting in my note book that I might one day post. Or maybe I won't.

My sort of general goal is to use this page as a project log for whatever I'm knitting/planting/baking, along with the eventual mention of things I've watched or am generally enjoying. I will inevitably mention buffy the vampire slayer, but that's a topic for another time because I'm trying to keep things short. Overall I want to kind of keep things unfocused without caring about numbers, an antidote to my days of having a tumblr with a very strict theme.
