I'm Christian, or Chris. I can't really call myself a webmaster as I rely heavily on w3schools and taking inspiration from THESE SITES SPECIFICALLY;
Okay yes I realise the buttons look really out of place compared to my site shut up I love Pomelo
I got derailed so more about me
I'm Chris, I'm 14 and I live in europe, more specifically the United Kingdom, my Ma is Welsh, and my Da is Maltese. My interest in the "old web" and HTML is pretty short lived compared to other webmasters on this site, only dating back to Year 8 Digital Tech class, or 2021. We were making a
website for class, and I am not proud of it at all. It was on Cavetown, and it's ugly. But I still love it, I was 12 and I got SUCH high scores. I remember going up to my teacher saying how I'd finished and he would send me back to work with "put emojis in the title" or "put a link in an image". It really cemented coding in my mind as something fun and rewarding, I should have taken coding for my GCSE but unfortunately I didn't and I can't decide whether I regret it or not since I took art instead, and I really enjoy art.
Ever since I was little I always expressed myself through art and the things I made, since words always dissapointed me. With art, I could do anything. I could show my emotions, I could show my dreams, my loves, anything I wanted. During early 2023, I realised I had aphantasia. This really hurt me, it still does. I'm tearing up just thinking of it. It really made art difficult as I grew older, I was expected to just think of things, and draw them. My friend is so good at just THINKING of anything to draw, and I couldn't do it. It made be feel like I was useless, that I couldn't do art.
This is where my love for Grafitti was found, it was like finally exhaling after holding my breath for so long. I didn't have to use references, I didn't have to look up skeletons or templates to know how long limbs should be or how many fingers a human has or how a body looks, because it's all fonts. And I know fonts.
It gave me a way to express myself, through the words I write on walls, the silly little skeleton stickers I slap onto road signs, even the shit I write on bathroom stalls while i... take a shit. Poetic.
WELL!! Then I discovered this silly little thing called Spacehey. I genuinely don't remember where I found it from, I just decided to join. I found friends, and more importantly, I discovered neocities. God, I remember my first page. A Template I found off github,
I think thats how we all started.. I fell out of love with it pretty fast, I don't know, It just seemed like a fanpage for Car Seat Headrest. Then my next one, the first one I properly coded sort of myself. I recently (recently meaning recent to 12.10.23) fell out of love with it. I don't have a set personality, It depends on what I'm interested in in the moment. It fucking sucks and I wish I had a sense of self but oh well!!
So, that brings you up to date with me. I'm a fourteen year old Bisexual boy living in the United Kingdom.
