Welcome to my humble online abode! Out of the millions of webpages at your fingertips, you have managed to stumble onto mine. Lucky you! Or...sorry to hear that, depending on your first impression of me. Lol.
Anyway, my name is Elly. I'm a thirty-something tech worker and raging autist who has finally decided to forgo the purely Web 3.0 life and build a website of my own. I had done so along with my younger sister on Geocities when we were kids, but I hardly internalized the basics of HTML coding. Any customizing and formatting I knew of were restricted to BBS message board styling for my forum signatures.
