i can't believe it's been a million billion years since i wrote on here! i've had such a good 2025 so far. starkid london was incredible, as was to be expected but i mean it was REALLY incredible. i've got big exams soon, but my mocks went well, so i'm not overly stressed out. i've had a brilliant couple of days being reminded of how much i love my friends and family. i got reading festival tickets! my health is improving and i've started on some new medication that's really helping me. things are looking up! i'm exhausted right now but i wanted to give a quick update because i'm so grateful for everything at the minute
song for today is damage gets done by hozier and brandi carlile.
merry (belated) christmas to all who celebrated! i had a nice one, we had a couple of people pop in but mostly it was just a nice quiet christmas which i did appreciate a lot. i finally have a record player now which is excellent, and i got some new headphones to replace my disintegrating old ones.
on the 22nd it was actually my two year anniversary of having a neocities site! i remember my first ever blog post on that website was about christmas, with photos of my cats and all. i'm very glad i did join neocities and get into coding and such because this community is just so nice. i love the old web revival going on here and across the www and i'm just really pleased that i can be a part of that.
today i was kind of reminded of my old website actually, sitting at the computer in my pyjamas listening to fleetwood mac. i was at home quite a lot at that point in time so i would sit in my room and code for hours, and probably about 4 days a week. i definitely don't have that kind of time or drive anymore but when i look back i can't help but think that's for the best haha. it's made me think about how far i've come in that space of time. the amount someone can change in a year and a half is kind of insane? but i like that i've been able to come back to neocities anyway and rebuild here. yayy!
thats all for now. just a short little update as to what i'm thinking at the moment. song for today is loneliness by ginger root because i am once again feeling normal about ginger root. i've ended up referring to him as "brother root"; i ordered a shinbangumi vinyl and ended up informing the 4-person discord server of this by saying "praise be brother root is on his way!!" so that could give you an idea of where i'm at in terms of ginger root insanity
an addendum: OH soz one last thing! forgot to update but I DID GET STARKID TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!! BY THE WAYYYY OMG i'm excited BEYOND BELIEF. YAYYYY :3 thats all now
OMG!!! quick update just to say i've been working on a brand new starkid page lately (i've had one in the works for years as it was originally intended for my old website, but i've made the choice to start again as the first one was getting a bit stale and i LOVE this one now) AND THEN SUDDENLY STARKID HAVE ANNOUNCED ANOTHER UK CONCERT... when lambert jackson were teasing it on instagram yesterday and the day before i was SO excited but didn't want to get my hopes up too high but now...!!!!!! starkid innit was insane enough and now i might get to see them again? round four of annabel attending a starkid-related london event???? guys if i get tickets tomorrow i'm going to die. i was literally thinking on the morning of the 9th how happy i was that i've seen THREE starkid-adjacent live events and that even though i probably won't get to see any more in the near future that's way more than enough and then suddenly.... more in the near future........ GOD i'm trying not to get my hopes up in case i can't get a ticket but jfc this is SO EXCITING
these past couple of weeks have been busy! there won't be any major website updates for a little while, i can imagine, as i have exams coming up and then the christmas season will be busy, but here's a little update as to how everything is at the minute.
last tuesday (15th october) i celebrated the anniversary of one of the best events i've ever been to (and will likely ever go to) and the start of the most incredible year of my life so far: the 15/10/2023 darren criss/joey richter/lauren lopez concert at the london palladium! this was just an absolutely mental thing to happen anyway because i just never could have anticipated it; it was made significantly MORE insane by the fact that it was actually the first of THREE starkid-adjacent live events i got to go to in the space of a year, all of which featured one joey richter (that concert, starkid innit, and spies are forever west end concert! which i am counting as starkid-adjacent because i discovered it through starkid). so that was really good fun to celebrate!! i watched back some of my videos, and even managed to find a full recording of the whole show which must have been shot from very close to where i was sat. real ones will remember the absolutely batshit account of this day i gave on the blog page of my old website, which was actually an abridged version of an even MORE batshit account that i wrote up just for my own personal "if i don't write every detail of this day down i'll cry" reasoning.
in other news, both my mum and my sister had their birthdays recently which was really nice. for my sister's, we went to see beetlejuice beetlejuice in the cinema. it was really good fun actually i enjoyed it a lot! though i was very poorly and on a lot of painkillers so perhaps one day i'll have to see that in a better state of mind where i can actually remember all that happens.
very excitingly, on saturday (19th october) i got the train on my own for the very first time to go and see my friend in chelmsford. we had such a good time! we went round the shops and had a cup of tea together and it was just really nice. i'd managed to score a £2 train ticket (!!!!!) because of the greater anglia hare fares which was a bit of a miracle really. it was such a great day!
anyway, HALLOWEEN SOON!! me and my bestie zaphod are going to go as nadja and laszlo respectively, from what we do in the shadows. we have a whole watchlist and hopefully are going to be able to set up my garage and sleep in there to add to the spooky aura. very exciting!!!
that's all my updates for now, i think. hoping i recover from this disease (bad cold) i have contracted very soon because i'm in a constant state of delirium at the moment. song for the day is only you by ginger root because i'm absolutely mental over shinbangumi at the moment. alright bye!!!!!
just a little test journal entry to try and get this thing up and running with an rss feed. it's so nice to be back on neocities! i forgot how much fun it was sitting and making a website from the ground up. it's so great seeing it all come together. and the community of neocities is really wonderful too so it's lovely to have that back. yippee!
