Introduction

hello! i'm ren :) i have a boyfriend, juno (here is his tumblr, he doesn't code lol), who i've been with for years! i've lived in seattle since 2022 and i currently work at a local bookstore, but i have degrees in both japanese and digital media, of which web design was my specialization! i hope to someday use those degrees, but i'm happy at my bookstore job right now ^_^

i love everything retro and web1.0, even though i was born in 2000 and only caught the tail end of the tail end of the geocities era. i have such fond early memories of browsing the web in the "computer room," stumbling across miraculously-still-there web gems, watching sims 2 emo music videos on youtube, and peeking at myspace even though i wasn't supposed to. i lived in the transitional period from web1 to web2, and now as things continue to change (fuck web3!!) i want to try my hand at getting back to the roots of the internet.

thanks for reading and i hope you enjoy the site!
