hey queen! i found your site just surfing through neocities and first off, i lovelovelove your site name!!! so cute + i read your most recent journal entry and i never thought out work that way. as in, you said you'd rather work a boring job and have fun on the side + keeping your hobbies unmonetized. tbh, i love that. i hate it when ppl tell me to monetize my hobbies because it SUCKS the fun out of it!!! also can't wait to see your collections page XD added ur button too btw!

It's nice to see a new journal entry, and good to hear you are doing well. I think you have a very healthy view about work. If the bills are paid, colleagues are nice and your free time is your own then that is a good career. The main thing, I think, is to avoid stress. Unfortunately, I don't have such a relaxed perspective on work myself. If I'm doing work that doesn't feel meaningful to me, I start to feel suffocated. I think this is probably a little dramatic and over the top. Luckily, I have managed to find a job that feels fulfilling to me so I don't feel like I'm wasting my time. I am aware that this is a very neurotic take. I think you also make a great point about not wanting to grow to resent your skills by having to exchange them for money. The word 'amateur' is derived from the word 'amare', which means 'to love', and referred to a person who engages in something merely for the love of it. I am happy to be an amateur!

Hiii I liked your site a lot >_< and I added your button to my site though I'm still kinda new and it's pretty much under construction!;; (I love these emojis JSJS)

hell ya love this!!!!

we the rats

Delightful website! It's got such a cozy atmosphere, and I love the scrapbook/junk journal vibes it gives off. Wishing you all the best in life<3

stopping by again to ask if you have/are planning to make an rss feed! also i see you have a tuta nota email, good taste ( v - v )

I misread Kodak Charmera as "Kodak Camera", thank you for the correction! Your latest journal entry hit some familiar notes for me. Particularly the part about the sense of self. The self is a slippery concept in general when you get into it. I've noticed that neurodivergent people tend to feel this more acutely. Maybe that's what's going on. In any case, I hope you feel more like yourself soon (whatever that means for you). P.S, I love the "Have you hugged your wife today?" mug so much. I need this in my life.

Hello! What a beautiful site! I love tortellini rat. <3 I enjoyed your yaoi reviews! I am really intriqued by the Depressed Mangaka one. I think you should stick with Barbarities for at least another volume, the love interest gets more tolerable, and the excellent secondary couple (the slimy scheming little bastard/stoic manservant who wants to assassinate him low key) gets more screentime! And there is more political stuff!

I love your website, it's got so many things I want to see all of them. Very very pretty, i love the lps stickers

Lovely writing in your latest journal. You are great with language and a joy to read. What camera did your friend get?

neocities is so cool because I keep finding sites of people I feel like I have so much in common with. I also love LPS and the ctdigitalarchive.org buttons collection and stuffed rats and work in a library-adjacent field as an office excel wizard. You also have the one HEALTH x 100 gecs collab on your media log and should listen to more HEALTH uwu. <3 from canada!
