dormancy

there's a particular sentiment that's been on my mind a lot recently; and it's whether or not spacehey is floundering. 

normally i'd say no, but...

i'm not so sure now. the reason i said no was usually because we were in school. and of course people are busy with school, most of the user base is in school like i am (though not for a while). 

but as breaks came and passed, and this break begins, i think it's just as quiet. a lot of the time i notice people joining and then abandoning their accounts in days or even just hours. it's glad to see new names, but they rarely stay. not to mention groups, forms, blogs, are often overlooked or not interacted with despite joining. people don't respond to bulletins. and layouts still aren't back. blogs are interacted with though, and that's nice.

it's sort of the reason why i started being so strict with friend requests, i think. because they often didn't interact, or sort of faded away after a while. in all honesty i should look through my list again, it's been a while.

all of this to say, i hope spacehey doesn't fall apart like this, a fleeting novelty. it's come to mean a lot to me.

anyway. in other events, i cut out a pattern today for dinosaur plushies. i wanna start on them soon, but they take up a whole yard of fabric?!?!?! of course we have a lot just laying around, so i could make a little scrap dino with mismatched buttons and all... the paint on my diy sweatshirt also looks pretty good, but after trying it on i'm wondering if i should make some alterations before moving forward with the little details. i also traced a pic of cedric to make into a patch, so i have that, too.

also changed up my personal site css, and designed a whole new wallpaper for it!!! i think it looks stunning so far, but i still have the whole rest of the overhaul to do. it'll take a few days probs, but i'm glad to have something to do, yk~? i have many things to do, but they're all fun, and i'm very super duper happy. ^^

i also want to start volunteering at a local thrift shop, but i'm scared. idk. wish me luck? or confidence? either works fine...
