I've always been a creative type. Now, thanks to this website, I can carve out my own little space for myself on the World Wide Web! That's right folks; the Web is on the Web!
*crickets chirping*
Come on, I thought it was funny...
I'm a college student who is (at the time of writing) completing my final semester for a degree in computer science and web design.
imagine my surprise when I find out about neocities and can finally put my knowledge to good use
I like to make a ton of things, many of which you can find on that sidebar to the left under the 'Creations' section. About some of it...
Music
I like to write music, think about writing music, study and analyze music, go bowling and perform music.
Programming
Computers are cool; what can I say? Growing up alongside computers has been both a blessing and a curse, but it's amazing what these magical boxes can do. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to grow and improve my skills, after all! I'm currently at university to learn everything I can about how to get the most out of these devices. Part of testing my skills also involves building the website you're currently on! ...I, uh, hope you like it. NOTE: The page about my coding abilities has been temporarily removed; sorry! I plan on returning it once I take care of some account maintenance first...
Videos
Video production is fun and it makes my brain happy, so I tend to do on occasion. For now my videos are primarily focused on my music projects or are related to theme parks.
Graphics
Oh yeah, I also like making cool images, logos, backgrounds, fonts, designs, layouts, and attempting to draw characters before giving up for another few weeks.
To see more details on my Creative endavours, please see the pages under the 'Creations' section on the navigation sidebar!
Now, what about the things that I'm interested in? Well...
Theme Parks
I LOVE theme parks. I love to learn more about them, experience new rides and attractions, and delve into the histories of old parks and rides (particularly stuff from EPCOT Center). I particularly love Disney and Universal's resorts, as I have a lot of fond memories there. As a result, many of my creative projects are related to or have been inspired by theme parks. I'm also the creator of an internet webseries entitled The Dark Ride Zone, which goes over the history and stories of theme parks, their rides, and everything in-between.
Games
I enjoy playing a wide variety of games from as many platforms as I can. One of my all-time favorites is Minecraft Java as it provides me an outlet for me to express my love of voxel sandboxes, programming, and theme park creation (see MCTP section for more details). I'm also a huge fan of Splatoon, A Hat In Time, Deltarune, Cult of the Lamb,Paper Mario, Portal, Spelunky, Kirby, Rhythm Heaven, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Pressure (Roblox), The Stanley Parable, etc...
The "Interests" page also has a ton of details on other things I obsess over outside of just theme parks and games... probably worth a look-see if you're intrigued.
...and that's everything! Yep, nothing more to see here.
...
Oh, what, you want to know more? Uh, well...
Personality
I've said that if I wasn't majoring in Computer Science, I'd probably be in Psychology because I find personality systems and human interaction dynamics fascinating. About me, I'm naturally introverted, passionate in the things I do, and want to leave this world better than it was when I entered it. On the downside though, I'm not the best with criticism, I'm a HEAVY perfectionist in everything I do, and I can burn myself out easily. I'm also pretty sure I'm neurodivergent too, although I don't have any sort of "official" diagnosis.
You can probably guess a lot about me from this website I've made. That's, uh, kind of why this website exists, so I can get out of my shell somewhat. So if you've made it this far, uh... thanks!
Communication
In terms of internet activity, I tend to keep to myself and don't post much as I don't want to let my opinions get in the way of my passion and work. There's a few exceptions to that of course, but it's rare, usually when I'm REALLY passionate about something that I feel needs to be heard.
I am pretty bad with communication when it comes to people I don't yet know; I'm trying to work on that, but I apologize for any awkwardness or if you have to keep pinging me. Discord is the best for contact IMO since I can remind myself to respond, but you could also try other platforms too, I guess...
Workflow & Project Timelines
In terms of when new projects are released, I have no schedule of any kind; my mantra is "new projects will come out when they're ready." This is something I've had to adapt to in order to deal with perfectionism (and college).
Why This Site Exists
This site will probably be the most frequent place for me to just talk about and show off everything I'm thinking about; it feels way more calm and under my control than any other social media, for that matter. That control is important to me. Maybe, if you like some of the stuff I do, it can be a nice place for you as well.
Okay, yep that's everything! I've told you a lot more personal details than I was expecting to include here, and there's nothing left here to read now so wait what is that section below this text doing there
Q&A
- Can I use a song/graphic/other thing you made for a project of mine? Please get in touch with me on the WebCentral Discord! Or, you can also just leave a comment on that thing and I'll very likely see it and respond if I can.
- I'd like to commission/hire you for something! I don't really do traditional commissions like many other artists at the moment, but if you really think I can help with something you're working on, please get in contact with me over Discord. I can't promise that I'll be able to help, and it might cost a little bit of money since I do need to make ends meet myself, but I'm always curious on learning about new passionate projects that I can help make a reality.
- What's your favorite holiday? Thanksgiving. Food and free time is a win-win in my book.
- Would you rather have infinite bacon and no games or infinite games--INFINITE GAMES--but no games? man that's a tough one, i'll get back to you on that
- What color's your toothbrush? blue
- When's Episode 4 of The Dark Ride Zone coming out? It's been 3 years!! let me graduate first and I'll get back to you afterwards
ALRIGHT, that's enough. You've learned WAY more about me than I was expecting... but, uh, I didn't actually expect people to be that interested, so... thanks? Thanks for reading all this, I guess? I don't know what to say anymore. Just go sign the Guestbook and say hello back please; it's the least you can do.
