about
Hi. hello. hi!
my real name is michelle and my clown name is hoyden. I'm a sagittarius. I've had this website for a year and a half and could never figure out what to put on this obligatory "about" page, so it's pretty much been blank until now.[^1]
[^1]: why now? really no good reason. I did a maintenance pass on the CSS a couple months ago and this old untouched page became ugly. Even that wasn't really the impetus though. Then I *finally* updated the index page and, I dunno, maybe the new design funnels you here a little more cleanly than the old one did. it was finally enough of an eyesore to do something about.
I'm much nicer than I am kind. I'm real serious about charity, often to the chagrin of those close to me, and generally at the expense of true empathy, which I was never very good at anyway. I'm curious, impulsive and irresponsible. I like reptiles, especially lizards, and critters in general. I have a soft and stinky cat named Chloe.
I've been making websites since my tweens (so, a couple of decades now). this one is a little art project, a relaxation exercise, a home away from home. it's populated with some little things I've made and some thoughts I've had about things I care about.
here are some other internet places where you can find me:
