coming sooon. soon

this morning i had to fight in the infamous ticketmaster war. it was looking very very bleak but out of sheer determination i finally managed to get 2 tickets for my chemical romance in london 2026!!! i can't even express how annoying the whole process was - normally i don't even have very much beef with ticketmaster but today was different..... i had to take a moment to ground myself a couple times..... but all my stress is now in the past!! and i'm going to see the black parade in concert!! how thrilling.

once i secured the tickets i was so high on life i had no choice but to use all that energy in the gym. this isn't a particularly big accomplishment because i was supposed to go today anyway, but i had gone to bed not feeling very optimistic about the chances of me actually getting out the house. but look at me go! i even tried my very hardest and lifted heavy which made me feel like suuuch a gym gal. i think this was an incredibly successful day.

i'm super excited for next wednesday because i'm going to see weapons with my friend. i've heard very good things and i looooved barbarian (didn't think this was a controversial take but i have been seeing lots of barbarian hate recently?!) so i actually can't wait! and next wednesday is the next episode of the summer i turned pretty!!! i used to be a casual hate-watch enjoyer, but season 3 has really turned me into a parasocial freak. i think about connie baby way too often. def need to touch grass.

yesterday was fun because i had no plans and so spent practically all day fiddling with the website. go find my vinyl collection page!! i was so confused and annoyed basically the whole time i was trying to figure out how to format it, but that just meant that when i did finally get it in the end i was very very pleased.

ok that is all for today. hope u are having a good one too!!

oh my gosh!! i never thought i would see the day that i had a semi-functional blog page. the way it is right now is not ideal at all but after lots and lots of fiddling i think i am going to give up for the night. although i am very pleased with what i've done!! this is probably not the most bloggy or easily-navigatable thing i could've produced but that's okay!! my big issue of the moment is that the drop down boxes are a different width when collapsed and expanded. definitely not ideal.

i imagine that in the long run the way i've got the code is not very sustainable but that is a future problem. and i like to live in the moment! i jusst randomly decided to revisit barkpurg today after a very very long hiatus, and obv the first thing on my list was going to be tackling the ever-looming task of getting a blog going.

really, i was motivated by the recent influx of substack content i've been consuming, and i just want a place i can dump my thoughts in a way that feels a bit more productive than my notes app. still, my notes app musings are very near and dear to my heart, and a lot of what i say on there is defo not suitable for public consumption. but i will just keep those to myself, and this shiny new blog can just be for fun.

even though this first entry defo started that way, i don't plan on having it be an updates log for the site. although when i do exciting things i will want to talk about them!! but, no, for the most part i think it kind of will just be a diary of some kind. i always try to force myself to write in my actual physical diary but i fear i am not cut out for it. writing by hand gives me flashbacks to exams.
