gotta start somewhere

howdy

i don't know exactly what my posts on this site are going to look like; ideally i'll be motivated to write a little bit more than i tend to on the regular, even if it just to ramble or rant about something or other for ye olde dreamwidth. like some number of others, i was inspired to make this account by the imminent shut down of Cohost. i'm sad to see the place go but truth be told i never got around to using Cohost as much as i perhaps should have. ah well. so far the "life raft" discord servers have been fun; if nothing else, i'll be able to say i found my way to those little communities as a result of using Cohost.

anyway, i have a few vague ideas of things to post about here, including:

- RPG sessions (currently i'm in a DND campaign, and i plan on writing at least a little bit about future sessions of the game i'm making at the moment)

- wrestling (yes, professional wrestling, i got into WWE content this spring, yes, it's rhea ripley's fault)

- vidya gaymes i'm playing

- music & playlists (i make a lot of those)

- commentary on various media; just off the top of my head i've had some kind of post about the Daria movie "Is It Fall Yet?" brewing for a while now

etc. etc. we'll see. i can already sense i'm overthinking this first post a bit, so imma cut the cord here.

i love you bye

i found my place in nowhere

seeing all these posts about in-person meet ups to celebrate/mourn Cohost is a little weird. i can't even really imagine doing like a tumblr meet up, let alone a gathering for a teeny little site like Cohost. but i guess the whole thing is unrelatable to me because i've always lived in Irrelevant Town, USA. even when i lived in a "college town" i never felt like i was in a Cool City where Cool People live and Cool Things happen. it was better than my current city, in terms of having things to do and existing, but this whole state is basically a state you forget about in "locate all 50 states" quizzes. you drive through it to get to other states. like imagine living somewhere in the US that matters

i like to think here is more notable than Nebraska though. no shade to any Nebraska-dwellers, of course. i just never hear Anything from or about it.

all this being said, cool things do happen around here on occasion (my city's first Pride was this year! i got a cool dice bracelet there). it's just difficult to hear about events to begin with and then to actually go to them because i don't drive and i'm a humble breadmaker (read: got no money). also my roommates, like myself, don't leave the house unless they have to about 90% of the time. i only went to a bar for the first time at the beginning of this year. it was fun though, we played Uno

i had the idea earlier to maybe post journals in character, with each OC's own little icons and tags. seems fun and i'm kinda inspired by how old school dreamwidth is-- the characters i'd be writing for are in an early 2000s setting so there'd be like ~immersion~. this is largely unrelated to my previous topic but it's fine. i just made this page today, there are no standards to follow
