this is version 20.
i decided it was time to buy a domain when envy.nu (no, they do not get a link) went out of business and made my webdesign life miserable for two weeks. horrible 0catch.com (they also do not get a link) bought envy, moved all my files, put ads on everything, and i felt loads of hate in my heart.
i have wanted a domain for awhile, though. i've been making websites since age 15, when i started playing with annoying javascript scrolls and unreadable backgrounds on angelfire. i taught myself html and javascript, and moved to dork.com, which was actually a great host. i abandoned dork, however, for a cooler-sounding envy. what a mistake! then again, had i continued to update the dork.com page, i might not have ever bought mewing.net. but they started charging for hosting soon after i abandoned them. so i mewing.net very well may have existed no matter what. that is fate for you.
so, why mewing.net? i had my heart set on mew.net, but someone already owned it. mew, because i say it all the time. i'm almost a cat. i mew nonstop. hence, mew.net. but no. mewing.net is good, too though. i like gerunds.
here are some answers to questions you might have:
will you host me?
no, i will not, unless you are a recent university of richmond alumnae named johanna who was one of my best friends in high school, or you are an uncle-beleagured avian mother of two residing in the broncks.
what is the point of this site?
my own ego. none of this site may interest anyone but me and my close friends. sorry. that means i don't care if you get offended by a quiz or something. if you want a website that caters to your personal whims and cravings, make your own.
gee, i love your pics. can you send me naked ones?
no!
why do you post pictures of yourself, then?
this site is all about me doing whatever i want without having to explain it. sometimes i want to post pictures of myself. my desires in this are as mysterious as my come-hither gaze. and i am extremely adept at not caring what you think.
can you help me make a page/graphics?
sure, for a fee. email me for details. and don't even think about emailing me with the words "how do u make ur quizes!? they r so kewl!! can u help me make 1?"
speaking of that... what really annoys you?
glad you asked. the following things make me cringe:
+emails and guestbook messages that mention my best friend from high school, gus, being hot. yes, gus is hot. he is very aware of this fact, and does not need you to reiterate it for him. so don't ask me for his email address or his screen name.
+ emails and guestbook messages that whine about the partisan bias of my "are you a republican or a democrat?" quiz. guess what: in general, i hate republicans! if you are one, chances are i hate you and do not give three minute turds what you think! also, don't tell me that i'm stupid and immature because my quiz isn't in depth and serious. trust me: i am not stupid. if i wanted to make a website with humorless and responsible political commentary, i would do it. but that sounds more like a class and less like a webpage to me, so no. i'll stick to my reckless and enjoyable republican-bashing, thanks.
+emails and guestbook messages that only tell me what your quiz result was. I DON'T CARE what your quiz result was, you babbling buffoon! i don't even know you! augh!
+IM's from strangers. i have made it nearly impossible for you to find my screen name from this site. i think your only avenue is to find my livejournal through one or another links i have listed, and to find my screen name through that. but,don't do it. i hate, hate, hate random IM's.
i emailed you such a nice letter...why didn't you reply?
i get a lot of email. if there didn't seem to be a specific question you were asking, or a specific concern you needed addressed, i probably didn't know what to say so i just didn't reply. sorry.
i love your story/poem/photo called "[insert title here]." may i use it on my site? i promise i'll give you credit.
no, please don't. it makes me feel queasy about having my work online and i'll venge upon you if you don't respect my wishes. i really will. i am insane and i have no life. i periodically search for myself and for my writing on google to make sure people don't disobey this law i have made. i really do. i find people all the time and they get embarrassed because they get caught and i get embarrassed because i am forced to demonstrate my aggressive, creepy anal-retentiveness on this matter to a stranger. no one wins. don't do it. ok.
you don't update enough! boo! you suck!
i know. i go through phases. i really hate the blog part of my site, but when i did away with it for a few days, all sorts of people came out of the woodwork and complained and complained and complained. so i put it back. maybe i'll get back into it again. you know, a long long time ago, before i had a domain, i used to post these really intensely personal diary entries daily. i don't think many people read them. that was partially why i was able to do it. they are still around if you look back far enough under "diary" on this site.
omg u went to NYU!!@Ú?À??!?!#$!@$ can u tell me wut it was like?! i got a 1300 on the sat and my gpa is 3.7, will i get in!?!?!?@#?!#
aaah stop. yes, i liked it. that is no guarantee that you would, though. and don't ask me questions about getting into nyu. all i know about getting into nyu is that i got in and my friends got in and that was four years ago. you really should contact nyu itself with your concerns, or look up statistics and rankings about colleges. i'm not a reliable source. don't ask me!
i love you and i wish to express this love via fraternizing with other people who love you. do you have a fanclub?
sort of. someone made this about me. i said she could make it (she was considerate enough to ask me first), but i don't have any part in it. join it if you want. last time i clicked on it, it appeared to be down, though. so maybe i have no more fans. hmmm!
relatedly... if you are really into mewing.net...
