Ah! So first post!
... FINALLY some respite from the hot weather
Hi! Wow! This is the first post that goes on this blog-part of my website! Feels like theres a lot of pressure to make it a good one :D
Let's start with the basics: I'm Isa, AKA werewolf-girlfriend, this is my website and my blog, which I am introducing for the 2024 rebirth of this personal site! Since this is the first post lemme cover some points:
Why make a new site?
I originally made this site sometime in 2022 and then just kinda let it sit... and I never got around to improving it or anything... when I started that site I didn't really have a clear idea of what I wanted it to be, and then 2 years later (now) I realized I wasn't really happy with any of it LOL. So I could either change everything I had made or start over from scratch, which I think was the easier option!
So why now? I wanted to get more into web development this year! Which leads me to...
My plans for 2024
Since 2023 I've gotten into the habit of setting goals for stuff I wanna do within the year! In 2022 I started keeping a sort-of monthly diary, which kinda made me realize that I could be doing much more with my time (this was how I managed my ADHD before getting meds lol) and ngl it's kinda awsome to have projects and goals. Can recommend.
So continuing the tradition in 2024, I got a couple of goals >:3 I shan't share all of them here since some are of a personal nature lol, but I've got goals like:
- Baking more! (and cooking more new dishes in general!) - got some baking equipment as a gift loong ago and I wanna use it!
- Reading more! - I believe everyone has a stack of books they mean to get to, so I've written a couple of titles down that I def wanna have read before the year is out!
- Anime movie project! - for the past few years I've written out lists of movies with a theme ("Ghibli movies I havent seen yet" and "musicals" lol) that I wanna watch within the year, and this year I've got a list of anime movies I wanna watch!
- Manga project! - similarly to the movies, I had the cute thought of reading famous horror mangaka Junji Itou's entire mangaography this year. It'd be near impossible to track down all his works since I don't know whats translated or not, so I settled for just the works that have been officially released in English :)
- Gettin #healthy! - a classic. I'm in my middest of midtwenties now, so I thought it'd be smart to start taking my health seriously. So far I've gotten back into going to the dentist (lol) and I got ADHD meds!
- Nerd out more with tech! - and this webste is the first step :D
My plans for this site
The site that I'll publish along with this post contains like the near-minimum of amount of stuff and polish I wanted to put on here before launch. I've got a looong list of things I wanna add and improve, so hopefully readers from the far future will be looking at a much different site than I am as I write this >:)
Blog-wise there's only this section that's live rn, but I have ideas for at least 4 other blogs teehee. One of those is like a monthly-or-something newsletter-ish blog, where I could talk about new art/stuff I added to the site, what I got up to since the last update and such, but I'll have to see whether I can commit to that...!
Generally this site will be a lil space where I put whatever I want. Dear reader, I hope you enjoy your time here :)
