I've barely done this sort of thing. For now, this is index.html: soon, it will be a random page where I learn to code. In the things I will write, I will put EVERY single thought I have. Why not? Who will read this but me, anyways? It will be fun to see my old train of thought.

Does the main file HAVE to be named index.html? Is this a convention? Why? This random web page tells me it indeed is a convention, to make things easier. Fine, I'm a lazy person.

My attention span is short, and if I'm not determined to do something, I won't go to the end of it. I'm partly doing this website to fix this problem. I said like two lines above I wanted to learn how to code? Eh, that's funny. I find that the documentations for this kind of thing are too long, too... full. I don't know the first thing about .css; let's do a "what I want" vs "what I think I will get" vs "what I get". I'm speaking of the documentation: I think what I just wrote was unclear. I'm already confusing myself.

What do I want my website to look like? --- WE ARE INTERRUPTING THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE OF AN INTRUSIVE THOUGHT ---

Why do I like these colors? It's a question I've never asked myself. But now that I think about it... No, I shouldn't. Thinking about why you like things takes away all of their magic. Don't do that, me.

--- THE INTRUSIVE THOUGHT HAS BEEN SLAIN. LET NONSENSE RESUME ---

I like what I just wrote. This is fun. I want it to not look intrusive when I read it back. Right now, it looks VERY intrusive. Maybe I should put an INTRUSIVE THOUGHT button next to what I say?

I fat fingered my keyboard. It did the commentary syntax, the < ! - - thingies. I think it's ctrl + shift + a key I don't remember? Let's test all keys and see what does what.

Welp, I'm bored. Doing this is boring, and I'm sure I got most of them wrong. I won't remember those shortcuts, and I didn't even find how I did the commentary syntax thing earlier. Let's not get sidetracked again. Where was I? I forgot. Good thing my whole train of thought is on this page.

My indentations have issues. Do indentations matter? I struggle to find what I do in this code, it all blends together. Anyways. Right, the website's look. Actually, I quite enjoy seeing raw HTML when I reload to see if it works. It's simple, it's fast, it's easy, it does its job. I wonder why I should use anything else. Do I actually like seeing raw HTML, or did I gaslight myself into thinking I like it, because It's already been 30 minutes on this page and I like to see that the thing I'm doing is working for once in my life? Perhaps. When I come back to this tommorow, I'll see it for the piece of shit it truly is without css.

So. For my website, I want the 4 colors I like. Green, black, red and purple. How do these mix and match together? I know red and black go well together, as well as purple and black. Green doesn't look good with black. Green doesn't look good with red and purple either. Why? I don't want to learn color theory, I have other shit to do. Note to self: I bolded color theory because it is of interest to me but I don't want to admit it because that would mean I'll have to use my brain to learn a thing. Don't listen to me, me.

So, with this color theme, I want a sidebar. What's in the sidebar? Since this is a journal, let's divide it into four: "chronogically", "happy thoughts", "sad thoughts", "angry thoughts" and "neutral thoughts". I just realized a journal is boring as hell. Let's speak about things I love, music, and video games. Ar Tonelico is one of my favourite game series, partly because of Akiko Shikata's and Shimotsuki Haruka's great music. There'll definitely be a huge page dedicated to them and Ar Tonelico. So, in the end? I want a sidebar, that is always there. In the sidebar, there'll be buttons leading to various things I'll write about. I want the buttons to be rectangles, for easy clickability.

What about the background? Thinking back, having a defined color scheme for the entirety of the website sounds stupid. Every page will be personalized. I love forest animals, the forest animal page will have green and brown. Why add red and purple? Ugly.

That's it for now. Why? I don't know, I just feel like doing something else. Well, this whole page was pointless in the end. I didn't learn css today. I said that I would do a comparison of what I want vs what I got, but it didn't happen. The intrusive thoughts distracted me too much. Next time, I'll learn how to theme my pages. I swear!
