I'm not sure what to do with all of my Princess Tutu sidepage material. It feels weird and spammy to just dump several month's of posts onto a new account, you know? The community is most active on Tumblr, so really I should just put it on Tumblr.. but agh, I hate Tumblr. Every person I have fun talking to on that site says they're exhausted with Tumblr, too, there's just... nowhere else they know of to find other fans.

I really, really do need to get around to making a website. I think a website will be the best way to store my observations in the long term, as long as I always make sure to keep a hard-drive copy of the site's contents on hand. I just... need to remind myself that as much as I think many of my interests need a big, comprehensive fansite (your Serebii, your Starman.net, your Rumik World and Empty Movement)... I am not in the position to make something of that scope from scratch. All of those websites had humble beginnings; they weren't made in a day.

I kind of... wish, I had participated in Petz' website-making culture, instead of just lurking. Because the websites Petz fans make are so beautiful, but they're beautiful because many Petz fans have like... 15 or more years experience working with HTML and CSS. There's an experience gap between me and them, because I was a timid child afraid to do things, often watching other children play on the web. I need to remember that in terms of experience, where I am now is where they were 15 years ago, 20 years ago, 25 years ago; I need to let my first website be the website of a child, even though I'm over 30, and grow as I learn

When I worry over getting things perfect on the first try, I never getting anything made.
