Welcome welcome to my internet lair. My cave of curiosities. My digital abode. My name is Alexia or Ale for short and I'm a 22 year old shut-in who recently dropped out of university to pursue my dream of sitting in my house doing nothing. I'm sort of employed but also not! I have too much free time so this website is where I spend some of that free time.

What can I say about myself? I enjoy bus rides and walks around the city. I like sitting in my room doing nothing. I like it way too much actually and it's a bit of a problem. I speak spanish in real life and english on the internet. I consider myself a bit of a creative, I like drawing, making silly crafts, collaging, sewing, making jewelry, doing crosswords, but most of all my favorite activities have always been being on the computer and listening to music!

I'm also a bit of a retro/vintage enthusiast, hopefully this aspect shows through in the design of this website. When it comes to fashion and visual design, my favorite decade is the 70s, but when it comes to music my favorite decade is the 90s! I also have a soft spot for the 2000s because that's when I was a kid of course. I'm a very big fan of the "2000s does the 70s" style.

Online, I enjoy going on random websites, playing flash games from my childhood, reading random Wikipedia articles, scouring the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine, reading bad fanfiction, searching "watch movies free online" and "free album download mp3", watching YouTube videos, and pretending I'm not addicted to Tumblr.

My life is honestly pretty boring. I don't go outside much and at this point I don't really have real life friends (clearly.) So I just dump all my thoughts online. I think at this point I'm more of a person on the computer than in real life. This is probably a problem. I hope someday I can get the money to travel more and experience more things.

That aside, here's my little "manifesto" I suppose. Computers and the internet have been very important to me all my life. My first computer was a Compaq Presario CQ50, a gift from my dad in 2008. It was a laptop but it functioned as our primary family computer until 2016 when my mom got a laptop of her own, and I kept using the Compaq until the screen came off of its hinges in 2021. Yes I was still browsing the internet in the 2020s with 1gb of RAM. I loved it dearly and it kinda hurt me to have to put it out of its misery LOL. That laptop and I grew up together. Anyway!

I'm no computer nerd, but I've loved going online since I was a kid and spent all my time on girlsgogames and any MMO I could get my hands on. I loved making movies in Movie Maker that I would email to my family. I didn't know you had to export the videos, so I sent everyone the project file, and because they didn't have the pictures I used to make the movies, they would see a blank screen, lol. I also loved making slideshows, which I would also email, and more than anything, I particularly loved using Microsoft Onenote 2007 as a digital scrapbook. I would collect clippings from dress up games, downloadable wallpapers and coloring pages, screenshots from shows... I'd write my own recipes and my own stories. And this site is a continuation of that. This is just a slightly more customized digital scrapbook, and this time other people can see it. I think the internet is wonderful because of that.

I have a lot of issues with social media and how hostile it is, so I've stopped using it, (aside from my Tumblr blog, because I think it's still quite easy to have fun on that website). Social media is designed to keep you there for as long as possible so you can look at more ads while they harvest all of your data. It incentivizes outrage and crazy unhealthy discourse, there's no room for important nuanced conversations. I think it's very sinister. But, I still like going online. It's fun to go on the computer. It's fun to go on websites. So I made a website! It was originally going to be a story bible of sorts for my original characters, but I never got to it and just made it my personal website instead.

I made this website on April 2019, when I was a month shy of turning 16. So it has grown with me! My woeful teenage blog posts are long gone, though. For good reasons... Anyway, I love taking care of this website. I love reading other people's websites. I do benefit from a lot of modern tech, but I still love going on old websites, both from my childhood and from before my time. I still play all the girly flash games I was obsessed with as a kid. I still use older software, though now that I have this website, I only now use OneNote 2007 to plan my original fiction, haha. So that's why I'm here.
