about
Hi. hello. hi!
my real name is michelle and my clown name is hoyden. my birthday is november 26th. my favorite emoji is 🙇♀️.
i'm forgiving but flighty, kind but self-centered, enthusiastic and pretty smart but impulsive and irresponsible. my favorite thing is critters (little guys! or sometimes, alternately, dragons). i am the author of a perpetually-in-progress critter-simulation game called menagerie, and my real-life menagerie currently consists of one cat (chloe), one snake (opie), two mice (gamer & party), three roaches, a gecko and a slug (slugolas).
i've been making websites since angelfire, gaia online and myspace. eventually that turned into writing code for a living, which has more recently turned into writing ai prompts for a living. this website is my reprieve from that, a virtual home where every brick was laid by my own hand. it's also just a small corner on the internet where i can throw some little things I've made and some little thoughts I've had about some things I care about.
here are some other internet places where you can find me:
