i have so much to say about this

Yooooo I was in all the computer classes! When I wasn't tinkering with CSS and Javascript on my blogs, I was building stuff on Geocities. I had a site dedicated to Chrono Cross (complete with my OC!). And for one of my high school projects was about Final Fantasy, with heavy focus on Final Fantasy 8. I still got the latter, at least, backed up somewhere on a CD. I should dig it up!

I adored character shrines and fansites-- still do. It's no secret that I credit someone's Chibi Usa fanpage to be my inspiration to get into Web design.

Web 3.0 is shaping up to be a hellscape of capitalism and techbros not giving a shit about like, people. So a lot of people have been sliding back to Web 2.0 or even 1.0 style of being on the web. No algos, slower communications (like forums), and hosting their own stuff wherever they can. Yesterweb talks more about it. And I touched upon this not too long ago, but only lightly.

Sites I was on a lot: GameFAQs, Noire Sensus, Newgrounds, Livejournal (Eventually: I was on BlogDrive until I finally got an invite!), wherever else.

And once I figured out animating and putting in transparency in my livejournal icons using my pirated copy of Photoshop you couldn't tell me nuthin.
