BLOG:
twas was christmas day, and I, wormy, recieved a keyboard for my soon to be new computer. Now im only missing the monitor and the computer itself. I already have the speakers and mouse.
I also decided to learn html and css today!, i've been planning to do this until i was allowed to take my ritalin, as this would force me to focus on it instead of getting unmotivated almost immediately, as i tend to do with most things.
Im watching this 6 hour and 30 minute youtube video thats an html and css course, im only 44 minutes in and its been really informative!!! im taking notes ands everything. The guy tells me i should be able to recreate youtube's front page by the end, seems like a big leap. As of now i've made some buttons, learned how to write paragraphs, links and how to make them open in new tabs, and a little bit of css!!! I made some buttons, that was fun.
Overall, I had more fun than i expected, maybe this is just a honeymoon phase and ill eventually lose motivation. but im surprised how much i could get done without the help of ritalin. Maybe I'll update this blog everytime i add something to the site.
That is all.
Today i tried learning some more a day after the previous entry in this blog, i wonder if i will tomorrow, which i likely will, but i dont know how long that streak will go on for. I am a very negative person
today was a pretty productive day, i learned about hovers, transitions, shadows,SCC box model,alignment, text styles like font-family, font font-size and line height, along with HTML entities for characters like & and < and >. as well as CSS specifity and text elemnets
i struggle most with memorizing all of the little things, i need to write all of these down and explain what they do so i can use it for future reference. Or else without these things i wont be able to make thingslook nice at its full potential.
I struggle to see how im going to be able to make anyhing that ] actually looks good like some of the other websites on neocities i have seen, they're so pretty and expertly made. I dont know how they do it. I hope to reach their skill one of these days, this is only my 2nd day learning these things after all.
I only really work on learning to code when i sit at my desk, i get unmotivated when i do it in bed because lying down is much beter than sitting up. like the sperg i am i watch youtube and watch videos or listen to music, not proud of it. right now im watching a bringus studios video as i type this, you should check him out he makes cool videos, i wish i knew how to modify computers like him, maybe i'll learn that after i finish with html, could be fun. `with most things i dont know how to start, i dont even know the word to search up to begin looking up how to start tinkering with computer, I like having things spelled out for me
thats all for today, i love you.
Today was a rather slow news days in terms of what i learned, i only watched like 32 minutes of the course, and i didnt really understand much of what i saw, for example, had to transfer all my css code into another folder specifically for css, and leave the html in its own folder. I struggled with this a lot for some reason, i even had to get my husband on teamviewer to fix it for me, i also fell asleep while he was fixing it so i dont even know what he did did. I also learned about void elements, thats interesting.
I also finally learned how to add images!!! heres one right now

My main inspiration for learning html in the first place is the late Tarry A Davis, whom made an entire operating system with his own two hands. I aspire to be like him, I dont think i'll ever reach his skill level but i can try.
I will be his unworthy successor.
that is all, i love you.
Coding is starting to get hard, Im starting to no longer understand things that i probably should. I was never a fan of backtracking to try to grasp the concepts, it pains me to do so because i feel like im doing chores, this is my problem, I give up too easily I cant give up coding because this could be something i can do to fill in the empty space of my life, i do fucking nothing all day every day , its depressing and it probably makes me depressed as well
I may have to watch over the video a couples times to really understand things ,which i dont look foward to, since its 6 hours long, but i'll only have to watch certain segments over again. heres a search box.
Learning about the div element, this whole entry is within a div element and as a you can see, theres a border around it, and the background has a color to it, isnt that sick, arent you impressed? you should be.
I want to get a shitty cheap laptop specifically for coding, i dont like to use my mac for these kind of things. It'll likely be a lenovo laptop...I'll unistall windows and install Ubuntu, I heard that ones nice and its the one Terry used!
Im on lesson 9 out of 17, im a little over halfway there!! coding is pretty fun...My dad will sign me up for some class where i'll likely learn python since thats the most common i think. My main goal with this is to make friends, since i dont really need the course, I can watch a 12 hour youtube video for free, I want to find a friend whos a girl and whos lively and talkative, to contrast with myself, since im not very sociable.
Started the day off by putting this blog and the links to my social media on another page of my website, I discovered how to do this thanks to youtube video i watched.
I also added a to-do list, which will always have the current things im i want to do. In addition, theres a "song of the week" section where i put a song that i like, hopefully you'll like it too. Im not a very aproachable person but you can message me on twitter if you want. Im autistic and have very little experience with people so I might not be the best person to talk to.
I did not watch the course today and yesterday, as i spent the day working on my website, today I added an "about me" section, it contains general information about myself, such as my musical and literary interests.And a type of "calendar" so when you click on my blog you'll see them seperated by month. today was a pretty uneventful day, it being the last day of the year does not weigh on my mind, Im spending it with family, this is the most depressing new years party ive had in my life, theres barely anyone here, its quite boring. Im listening to knives out by Radiohead.
