Also messed with a new theme, though I decided not to do it for now. Mostly just need to find one that appeals to me. The one I have now is pretty good, but it gets boring looking at the same thing all the time.

So I just rearranged some front page stuff. Decided to nix the forums and take out the buttons. I'll just bring back the donate button some other time, because it feels pretty lame asking for donations when I don't DO anything for anyone. I may end up wiping out and redoing the gallery at some point, too, and just reuploading all my screenshots.

I did find an awesome static cache for taxonomy_get_vocabularies patch, which I am hoping will really help with loading times given my hugetastic tag list. With that and my changes I'm back down to less than a second on load times (mostly), woo!

At one point I really have to go through the 700+ tags and remove some, but lazy Siren is lazy. :( I swear I'm just not good at anything. Not at writing or coding or anything. Just feel ...useless right now? I don't know. it's depression and my period has been delayed FOREVER, too, so, that doesn't help.

Finished Ziziri's sheet, accepted people into Outcastes on the Open Sea. Srsly that is all I did today. I stayed inside and I thought of nothing but my RPs and... I don't care, maybe I'm a nasty lazy slob that never goes outside but I actually felt *calm* for once.

Of course, now that that's all done, I know that the high I get when I'm working on stuff will go away and I'm going to feel horrible and hate myself again. And think about all that's wrong with my life and how I am powerless to change it.

(On another note, thank you Eni. That was very generous of you. Though no one else has donated... yet? D: so I don't really have enough for the upgrade. Ah well.)

I might have written something more profound right now, but I am so freaking tired. :( and my ear is starting to bug me again... why, I don't know, because I've been very careful about it lately, so now I wonder if I'm just going to lose hearing in my right ear and not be able to go to a doctor to get it looked at! woo! x.x who cares, anyway?

There it is, on the left right (WTF dyslexia). Or if you're viewing this through RSS: Donate to darksiren.net

I'm not a person who likes to ask for charity. Do it if you feel it is necessary, otherwise don't. For a long time now I've offered free hosting to my friends and I don't intend this to be a "now you have to pay up!" thing. Just, if you want to (even if you're just a passerby) the option's there.

What I will use donations for...
- pay fees for darksiren.net (both the domain and the VPS)
- potentially, upgrade the VPS, if I receive enough donations to warrant that (that'd be at least $20 a month on top of current fees, or $240 more)
- pushing further, could also be used for me to buy a second server, where I could possibly start up some low-cost web hosting with software installed on demand.
