New to Dreamwidth by way of LJ ten-ish years later.

I miss LiveJournal and having a place to have a fun online diary like I used to there. I came across http://theoldnet.com and was reminded again about how much I missed it and decided to join LJ again but with how it's changed over the years, it seems to be a ghost of it's former self. Also I'm not sure how anti-lgbt they are now that they fall under Russian law and are okay with that it seems.

When I first got onto the internet, I can't remember how long it was until I found LJ but it was the place that I have some of my fondest "internet" memories, lol. I could see how other people lived and how people of all kinds of different lives still had pretty similar experiences and worries and whatnot and it was eye opening for me, a completely introverted, shy dweeb that didn't really know many people while growing up and it was an amazing place to connect with people.

I created an LJ account but already looking for an alternative and I hope Dreamwidth could be that place.

I am going to like it here.

I've been checking out Dreamwidth more and like so much about it already and like it better than lj already. And I love their diversity statement. Not sure what I'll be posting about in here, probably random things, stuff about programming which I'm learning, and other things that I obsess about I guess.

If anyone wants to be friend's, add me!

The Seventh Day of Summer

Today was a good day. With continuing to learn programming I worked more on my Flask program that I'm trying to make. I still can't figure out how to import things from my files. Continued reading more of the The Programmers' Stone which is such a good read with some interesting concepts and ideas. I wish I could have been more productive and I'm going to watch a tutorial about the Pandas library before I go to sleep later.

I finally set up my air conditioner. I wasn't sure if I would even do that this summer but it is so hot today that I did and it only took me like two minutes, lol.

Biked to the gym today and had a really good workout. And it's so nice biking in the summer. There are some road repairs happening with the main street that I use in this town so I've been taking a detour with some other streets and it reminds me of summer when I was a little kid and I road by a house that a friend used to live in and it reminded me of sleepovers that we used to have and now I'm in the mood to watch cartoons tomorrow morning, lol.

I also got a call from my older brother about getting together and going for a long bike ride with him and his wife. We talked about how we should get together and do that a couple months ago and we are going to super early Sunday morning.

Tomorrow I finally get to pick up my new contact lenses and I plan on just having a nice, pleasant weekend. I kind of want to rewatch the first two seasons of Stranger Things before the third season comes out soon but I'm also watching Inborn Pair which is pretty good and I want to watch summer-ish movies. I've been wanting to watch the Burbs which is my favorite summer movie ever but I haven't yet.
