my name is emma , but i also go by a few different pseudonyms online , alongside nicknames that are given to me by friends both in person and on the web (a common one seems to be either big bug or at times just bug . there's a few other names i have gone by previously , but those will not be disclosed because they seem irrelevant here .
i am a transgender individual in the latter half of her twenties living here in amerikkka . i've always had a bit of a passion for writing , but had dropped it in recent years , so apologies if my skills are a bit rusty at the current moment . i hope that they will improve as i continue to use this blog , but for now every word i type is just a bit of practice to get to where i used to be and having fun while i do :D !! outside of writing , some other interests of mine are :
i am an introvert but i enjoy people . i find society as it is currently structured abhorrent , but am in love with each and every individual i interact with . i believe in love for everyone , and the secret potential for greatness that resides in each and every one of us even on those days where we feel we are naught .
It is not upon you alone the dark patches fall,
The dark threw its patches down upon me also,
The best I had done seem’d to me blank and suspicious,
My great thoughts as I supposed them, were they not in reality meagre?

i am a vegan . politically i am far-left . i like the conditioner i use for my hair , but have mixed feelings about the shampoo i use . i laugh when i shouldn't sometimes and don't when i should . i am hold the world record for getting the closest to a black hole without spaghettification occurring . on the off-chance that buddhism is the correct religion let it be known that i will dedicate myself to the teachings of amitabha and follow the noble eightfold path .
ultimately , this site is a means to do two things : get myself back into writing more again , and providing a place to dump my thoughts and words and feelings and pictures and and
there is some incentive to learn things like javascript better there too , but not really one of the main things . still , i love languages , so i'm sure i'll get more fun out of that part of this than javascript itself is worth . at least i don't do this for a living so i haven't learned to hate it the a lot of webdevs i know do .
the site itself is currently divided into two main sections , but subject to change :
this is where the bulk of my effort will likely go in terms of post length and quality . it will house all forms of creative writing i do from fiction to poetry to essays . to ensure readability , most pieces (especially the longer ones) will probably be written in so-called correct format . of course , this is not a hard and fast rule i'm making for myself and so i may take liberty with the punctuation and capitalization and italicization where i see fit if i see it fit to fit the piece . some may wind up being interactive in some way shape or form . sometimes i might put something there that is of a relatively low quality . for this transgression i apologize prematurely . when it happens , i apologize again for the actual occurence
this section will probably have a lot of activity , with the goal being something like once a week . quality likely to be low as the goal here is a sort of "word vomit" that has undergone only basic editing to ensure relative coherency and preservation of my self-respect . blogs might not always be about my life directly , but may also be about something i'm currently interested in , a collection of pictures , or maybe even snippets of a wikipedia article or excerpts from something that i'm reading that i have decided to save as if they are part of some digital scrapbook . a lot of posts , though , are likely to be filtered forms of my journal entries . be weary as i know not all the corners of my own mind , nor do i know fully yet the identity of this persona which i shall assume on this little corner of the world wide web . one day i may decide to center-align an entire body of text for no reason and another i may state something politically-charged . i have as much of an inkling of what shall occur here as you do
really , all this is to say that i hope you find this entertaining or joyous or , at the very least , temporarily interest . all this is to say that i love you ,,,
