There's a new corner in my writer's block. Inspired by @vashti, I'm challenging myself to let "the real pour in" by writing 10 direct observations per week. I wanted to keep this space simple to reflect the assignment! ❀ https://inkcaps.neocities.org/studio/writing/observations/

... writer's block lol, I meant to say nook. Talk about a Freudian slip (￣▽￣*)ゞ

i love vashti's observations page, so excited to read yours too!!

I may jump on this bandwagon myself! Such a great exercise.

@tabi Vashti's page was like love at first read so I knew I had to give it a go! ;u; ♡♡

@chey you SHOULD, it's a super clever concept that's quite effective!!

Quick diary entry about what I've been up to! I'm hyped to be back and working on my site again!! ;u;

excited to see your art gallery when it's ready!!

thank you @jeith, I'm gonna start doodling some layout ideas! I'm a little shy sharing my artwork, but it'll be fun connecting with others in that way! <3

woah busy week! can't wait to see what you created!

@tillie it was TOO busy at times, but ahhh yay, thank you!! I can't wait to see what you think!! (づ๑•ᴗ•๑)づ♡

Happy belated birthday! I was worried about entering my 30's as well but I can tell you with confidence they are miiiileessss better than my 20's lol. Hopefully it will be the same for you <3 wishing you health after getting over the 'vid.

Ahhh can't wait to see your paintings! Love what you said about confidence coming with age. I'm also approaching my 30s and I feel a little scared but mostly so excited for them! There's something so chic about being 30 someting.

@amy thank you for the well wishes, they mean a lot!! ; __ ; Almost all of my loved ones in their 30s share similar sentiments which is super encouraging. I'm going to make the most of being 29 and be excited for what comes next! :D Take care!! ♡♡

@chey that's a great attitude to have, treating it as something chic--because you're right, there is! There's nothing more stylish than self-confidence, right?? At least for me, it's pretty amazing to see how far I've come in just the last three years even, in ways that can only be achieved from time and growth and learning ♡

I guess Neocities is pushing the most recently updated page out first?? ANYWAY, I added a quick review to the 1982 proshot of Sweeney Todd, cleaned up my last diary entry a bit, and most significantly, updated my character wall!! https://inkcaps.neocities.org/library/characters/

nice work on getting through the semester!! your talk of thin places was so interesting– certain religious sites i'd visited over the last few months definitely felt a bit "thin", so to speak!

@kiley thank you so much, it's a little surreal almost being at the end but here we are! I'm so glad you found my diary entry interesting as well. ;w; Those sites you visited must have been beautiful--would love to hear more about them sometime!! ♡

I'm trying to think of thin places I have been - hmmm the woods at night when it's really dark. I don't really consider new orleans to be one - there's a lot of life there for sure. Unless there's a hurricane. Like the eye of a hurricane is definitely a thin space

@mutterbutter the eye of the hurricane must be the most surreal place to be. I've always been fascinated by stories of those who found themselves in the middle of it, where everything's calm but they see the storm raging all around them

We're getting esoteric in Sarahland, babey!! Do any of you have experiences with the concept of "thin places?"

( But the REAL question is if I'll be up to coding/designing proper list CSS for my diary entry instead of dashes)

OH, and I gush a bit about the original stage production of Into the Woods in my media log. That show really makes me unlock my final form lol ;u;

Do you ever get thin place vibes in non-organic spaces? Like bathrooms? Ever watch dead mall videos?

@amy I've definitely got those vibes from stage theaters before! Something about them feel so electric. I loooveeee dead mall/abandoned place videos, they're fascinating haha!

Cleaning up some pages~

Little updates, including a small diary entry: https://inkcaps.neocities.org/bedroom/diary/summer2024/

I think I want my next projects on here to focus on like... updating older webpages. Cleaning up their codes and redesigning them and stuff, now that my skillset is more robust! * __ *

glad to hear you're doing better!

@manyface that's very kind, thank you! ;w; I'm glad too!

happy you're feeling better! <3

@amy thank you, I am too!! <3

glad to hear your fever has passed, hopefully the other symptoms go away soon too! i'm looking forward to seeing the refreshes you give to your old pages!!

@kiley thank you so much!! Each day I'm getting better and better which is really encouraging! I hope you like the changes too! I just uploaded some tweaks to my about and quiz pages--small things, but they really make a difference! ;u; Take care!! ♡♡
