New Year, New Understanding of Web Development Standards. My goal was to maintain the old look of my diary backlogs, but God, I Don't Know If I Can Do That. I just came to understand how bad of a system using tables for a website layout is. Thank you to Itinerae for giving me a jumping point, but man, this website's organizational structure is fucked.

I've put a soft lock on my Instagram so I'll start practicing what I preach and limit my time on social media. I'm allowed 60 minutes a day, in 10 minute increments, outside of work. I've found I'm more intentional with my Instagram useage because of this. I prioritize reaching out, forming connections and posting things with substance -- instead of using it to get lost.

Favorite things at the moment: Ichiko Aoba, Neon Genesis: Evangelion (first ever watch,) Serial Experiments: Lain (no surprises that I Love Lain,) freecodecamp, painting restoration videos and a projector that I bought to enjoy all of the above from the comfort of my bed. I'm so busy nowadays that I rarely find time for peace, and when I do, it's laying in my bed with my projector running.

I'm very fond of the sound of machinery when I know the humans piloting it are piloting it for the right reasons. Enjoying the mundanity I've found alongside financial stability. Kisses.

Collage Night No. 2 is on the calendar: January 25th from 7 PM - 11 PM in Chaz's corner. My roommate's stamped bleach street wear blew up and now I see his designs out around town. I'm reading an erotic comedy piece for a local literary group in February.I am in love with strangers that I've never even seen. In love with weird cut bangs and sweaters, swaying kind of awkwardly.

Listened to this, walked around a thrift store, and thought about everyone in the world.

On the precipice of embracing who I am on a level that was once made inaccessible to me, by me. Everyone is either about to get really weirded out or find me really endearing.

I am not above an immune system's natural functions. I am not above curling up on the floor of the shower. I am not above looking for blue skies in the inversion overhead. I am not above hangnails. I am not above SNRIs.p I am level with reality.

My friend crashed on our couch and my roommate is in his room and we are all going to breakfast this morning, god willing. I'm in breakfast purgatory. While I'm here, I'll be listing every fictional character I relate to.

• Kim from Scott Pilgrim VS The World
• Noodle from Gorillaz
• Ash from Fantastic Mr Fox.

I am not that revolutionary. I am just weird to other people. "It only has to make sense to me for me to do it."
Sometimes, I wish I were a child again, and when I do, I feel like a child again. I think I also wished I were a child when I was a child.
