welcome!




thanks for stopping by!

i'm natalie! this is my space to experiment with creativity and catalogue my collections. it serves as a scrapbook, diary, blog, and poetry notebook all in one. this space is made primarily for myself, so please heed the warnings below before exploring further!

this site was built using google chrome. as an html newbie, i can't guarantee funtionality anywhere else (for now)




to do list!
  • redo guestbook with a new system + storage of old messages
  • new about + sitemap pages separate from iframe system
  • new scrollbar look
  • join some cliques/add cliques page
  • edit not found page
  • pages i'm considering (hover)
update log:

22/0/24: new diary entry up!
8/9/24: tinkered with the spotify widget some more. added some links and rearranged the order alphabetically, kind of.
7/9/24: created an entry/landing page. begun joining and adding new listings. i'm reworking the home page a bit as a lot of stuff has been relocated over there. i also added a spotify widget that shows what i'm currently listening to, with the help of mizuki. it's not fully finished yet? or maybe it is i'm having problems... still need to link the credits, but i followed this guide.
9/7/24: threw in some new "poems." in quotes because none of them are anywhere near finished, much less polished than everything else on my poetry page thus far (though I wouldn't exactly call some of those polished either...) normally i wouldn't even post poems this unfinished but i just needed to stick them somewhere
6/6/24: in addition to a bunch of tiny lil tweaks i've been making here and there for a while but not updating this log about, i finally added a warning rating to my scrapbook page! not all BL works are flagged yet, but at least it's better than it used to be.... also, at some point i made the colors tcg page live and have mostly just been playing with that. oops
6/6/24: joined colors tcg and created a mostly-finished page for it. as of today it isn't linked on the main site but i probably will tomorrow zzzz
4/6/24: FINALLY added stuff to the "mine" section of the scrapbook - some sewing i've done recently!
20/5/24: don't usually update the log for scrapbook updates, but in addition to normal housekeeping, i removed all the ongoing japanese bl. i'm still keeping up with them, but i didn't want it to get too jammed up with bl that i might not finish (whether it was dropped by scanlators, dropped by the mangaka, or just not uploaded to the site i use). any that i do finish will be added to the scrapbook as normal. i left the korean webtoons because i run into these kinds of issues a lot less often with them.
12/5/24: d&e concert blurb is up!
11/5/24: cleaned up the concerts page enough to add the link to the site. i also filled in the pitbull page, but every other concert is still missing hehe
10/5/24: created a page for concerts i've been to, though it's not filled in yet or linked on the site. you can still access it for a list of bands i've seen, as long as you promise not to laugh at me for seeing pitbull live
11/4/24: new blog post
19/3/24: new banner!
8/3/24: new blog post
24/2/24: added a footer. hoping to decorate it with ads or blinkies soon? might need an entry page first
20/2/24: band so mid i added a new tier to the scrapbook rating system. also updated to include all the ongoing BLs i read as they come out, including ones started before 2024
28/1/24: kooks album so disappointing i added a rating system to my scrapbook page
12/1/24: updated favicon. creation & completion of "runescape" page. added a sitemap page and moved some links there.
6/1/24: custom cursor just dropped
5/1/24: finished the base of the scrapbook page, still empty tho
3/1/24: happy new year! creation of "scrapbook" page. currently empty but will be filled in as the year progresses!
15/12/23: new blog post
11/12/23: rebranded my diary to a blog. it's less cute-sounding but more accurate to what it is.
29/11/23: new poems just dropped
16/11/23: added more blinkies, buttons, and stamps. finally updated the index & added a (preliminary) preamble.
5/11/23: published a diary entry titled "critically analyzing sk8er boi by avil lavigne"
4/11/23: redid the "poetry" page and i'm happy enough to link it now. it's still not as interactive as i want but html is hard!!! i also re-enabled the ability to comment on my neocities profile. i turned it off because i didn't think i'd use this as social media but i thought it'd be fair to at least give it a shot first.
3/11/23: coded the "poetry" page but i'm REALLY unhappy with it. probably won't update the link in the sitemap for a while, but it does exist on the site with an easy-to-guess url.
2/11/23: added a button to link to me on "links" page. added pixel art of a diary i created to "diary" home page. posted new diary entry.
1/11/23: creation of "diary" page. posted first diary entry. removed the stickers section in the right bar because that'll probably just be its own page anyway.
31/10/23: added credits for the header font. creation of "stamps" page. added stamps + more blinkies. cleaned up some coding behind the scenes. changed the divider and extended the shakespeare quote on "manifesto." updated header.
30/10/23: creation of "blinkies," "buttons," and "links" pages. added a (temporary?) header. added blinkies and started adding links to sites i like. moved the toybox to its own page + added more adopts. added status.cafe widget. enlarged site area.
29/10/23: polished some info. added a temporary to-do list while the site is still in construction.
28/10/23: more general construction. its a lot of work!!! creation of "about" page.
26/10/23: layout refinements and general construction. creation of "manifesto," "credits," and "guestbook" pages. added some adoptables to the toybox.
25/10/23: it exists! in its most primitive state...
