I am a firm believer that every website should have an About page, even though my About Me is located elsewhere.
OMG the ducks work! They are so cute! glitter-graphics.com I love you!!
I’ve always had an interest in the old-fashioned, from liking stereotyped “emo” a decade after the scene to joining Tumblr half a decade after it’s heyday, and always having a mild interest in things such as pagers, typewriters, and 9/11. I’m a MySpace daydreamer, a Gen Z-er who grew up on the dying generation of kid's game sites, and the teen who watched Dan Howell explore a crap website he made at 12 and go “omg I want to do that too.” I use a personalized version of an available MySpace Tumblr theme and I hold it dear to my heart. All in all, I’d call myself a bit of a Victorian Hat. Ever since I learned about it in that one Tom Scott video, the hidden treasure trove of Web 1.0 has interested me. Due to a deep-dive on plurality that brought me to a few older personal websites (I am not a system, and though I have one as a friend, the research is for a private character AU, ahah), and reading the O.K. graphic novel Incredible Doom, I spun myself down a hole of what is left of this era. And it’s more than I expected!
And, to be honest, we all like sharing about ourselves, and I’m just a little Too Cool For School to make a Carrd.
PS: I reference the Victorian Hat Society on this site a few times, and it's a fictional idea I came up with after finding the real Dozenal Society of America. Not a real society, never will be, just a way to signify that aesthic. The "Victorian hat" symbolizes a love of the past, specifically a pre-modern technology era. It involves a level of fanciness as well. A "Victorian hat" is also a noun, for a person with such tastes. I tried to come up with a similar term for the time period inbetween the 80s and the modern web, as that does fit the atmosphere of this site better, but the best I could do is Typists' Club.
PPS: I highlight as a I read, so I apologize for the ducks messing that up on this page.
