>> DEAR DIARY

This is my online diary. Not a "blog" — those are for grown-ups with domains and ad revenue. This is a diary, and it's PRIVATE except that everyone on the internet can read it, which is basically the same as private if you think about it. Don't tell my parents this URL.

>> LIVE ENTRIES (CLOUD-BETA)

Fresh entries sync to a free JSON cloud blob — no database, no PHP. Public, so be nice. (If the cloud's unreachable, entries save to this machine only.)

>> THE ARCHIVE

"today was insane" — 02/14/2003, 1:47 AM — Mood: XD

okay so today ruled. finally got the GameShark codes working for imported Pokemon Ruby and my starter Treecko learned Leaf Blade way early. also — and I cannot stress this enough — the new MIDI jukebox update makes Guile's Theme actually sound GOOD through my Sound Blaster instead of that tinny beeping mess it used to be. I don't know what changed but bless whoever fixed it.

staying up way too late writing cheat code pages. school tomorrow. worth it. going to bed at, checks clock, 2 AM. classic.

"guestbook drama (kind of)" — 02/11/2003, 11:58 PM — Mood: :o

somebody named ZERO_COOL signed my guestbook and joked about finding a "backdoor in my CGI." made my heart stop for a second lol. it's fine, it's a joke, i checked. but now i'm paranoid and reading every entry twice. anyway 4,700+ signatures now?? that's insane to me. thank you to everyone who isn't a bot.

"saw spider-man again (3rd time)" — 02/03/2003, 12:14 AM — Mood: :D

went with my cousin this time. still get chills at the upside-down kiss scene. also finally beat the game on the PS2 — the swing physics feel so much better than I expected going in. going to write up the full review for the movie cave page this weekend. Two Towers review still isn't done either. I have too many hobbies and not enough hours after homework.

"new year, same webmaster" — 01/01/2003, 12:03 AM — Mood: hyped

happy new year!! 2003 is going to be huge. Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire finally comes out in the US this year (I've had the import for months, don't @ me). also I want to redo the whole site layout, add more cheat codes, and get the visitor counter past 10,000 by summer. big goals. resetting the odometer felt symbolic somehow.

also I need to sleep before 1 AM at least once this year. we'll see.

>> ★ ONE MORE, FROM 2026 ★

Breaking character again, sorry. The diary above is the bit — a time capsule of who I was. But if you actually want to say hi to the real, current me, the guestbook and the "About Me" page both have real contact info at the bottom. This page is just for the nostalgia. Thanks for reading this far, seriously.
