Welp I'm trying to make this work, but it's not easy! HTML is hard yall. I'm learning as I go though, but I want to find out how to make a button that makes gifs stop so that I can pause them sometimes bc i love the 2008 style but also i have old eyes now lol so it can be a lot.

anyway, this page I'm hoping will be a place for me to brain dump and do kind of whatever I want, which is always fun. I want to fill up this whole page though, which might be hard lol although...... i could maybe have a blank spot at the bottom where I can put the stickers. I love stickers, but the only way i know how to place them where i want them is with position:relative and they still take up space where they should have been, so i need like a blank spot where i can dump the links and then move them around the page lol

though when i tried to position:relative the stickers above they just.... wouldn't move, but let's not worry about that. my code has ghosts in it, it's whatever :p

like i have to fill up this whole page or else the journal jpeg won't complete, it just cuts off at the bottom of the content. why is that? i literally do not know and it's really frusterating actually, but i don't have a lot of time to work on this site and no computer at home so likeee... i do what i can lol

i literally work on this while i have nothing else to do at work. i'm just some fuccin guy doing whatever, farting around on the web and finding fun pictures that remind me of being 12. it's a good time! but it is also really frusterating lol

omg i finally made this journal page work!!!! it was NOT easy and it's not what i thought it would look like exactly, but I'm still sooooo super happy with it!! and I learned so much while putting it together!!!! like honestly so much, and insane amount of knowledge now lives in my brain.

let this be a lesson to yall, no matter what you can do hard shit!!! i didn't think i could do this for a while there last week but today... idk it all came together and i figured it out!! ahhhhhhh i'm so happy!!!!

everything's coming up good for me lately tbh. me and my wife just bought a fricken house!!! and i'm so gd excited and also like... in shock??? i never ever thought we would be able to buy a house, my parents were lifelong renters until a few years ago, and i figured that would be my story too, not able to buy a house till i got (frankly, a shitter) in my 50s. but look at me now! house bought before i'm 30!! and it's also like... not bad? kind of nice actually??

i'm going to be real, there's no way i would have been able to without my wife. my job isn't bad, but hers is way better and she's getting her phd and is so smart and so good with money and actually believed we could get a house so 100% could not have done it without her. she's fantastic

anyway that's my life update right now. i'm so happy i figured out this page and also that soon i might have a place to put my desktop so i can actually work on this site at home instead of at work lmaoooo
