Mýra Midnight’s Journal

Hæhæ, þið virðist hafa fundið dagbókina mína. Upphaflega hafði ég verið með hana á LiveJournal á sínum tíma, en var ánægð með að uppgötva að hægt væri að taka það allt saman og setja inn í WordPress. Hef verið með vefdagbókina mína á eigin hýsingu alla tíð síðan.

Hello, you seem to have found my journal. It was initially a LiveJournal, but I was pleased to discover that I could export the whole thing and upload to a WordPress installation. I have hosted my journal on personal hosting since then.

Það er miklvægt að halda dagbók til að skoða fortíðina, maður man nú aldrei allt alveg rétt því hugurinn er skapandi og fyllir inn í eyðurnar og býr til nýjar minningar stundum úr því fáa sem maður man.

It is important to keep a journal to review the past, you never really remember everything perfectly since the mind is a creative thing that can fill into the gaps to create new memories around the few things you actually remember.

Flest allt sem ég tók út af LiveJournal frá táningsárunum er falið fyrir almenningi, þar sem enginn vill uppljóstra vandræðalegu tilfinningarríku árunum sínum. Skil varla sjálf hvað ég var að skrifa um á tímabili. Flest allt í þessari dagbók verður læst eða falið í rauninni nema tilteknar minningar sem mér finnst alveg þess virði að hafa opið fyrir þeim sem hafa áhuga á því sem ég upplifi.

Most of everything that I exported from my teenage years on LiveJournal will stay private and hidden from the public, since nobody wants to expose their embarrisingly emotional period of existance. Most things in this diary will be locked or private with a few exeptional memories that I find worth sharing and keep open to all those who might be interested in my experiences.

Who am I?

I am a wife, lucky to have married my first chrush from my youth, even if I made some pitch stops on the road of life before I found my destination. Most days I am the definition of a housewife.

I am a mother of two gremlins (born in 2016 and 2018), they grow up so fast. Being a parent is a constant learning curve, especially if you throw ADHD and some autism into the mix. It actually made me discover my own undiagnosed ADHD (have yet to bother with getting a diagnosis).

I am an artist in my free time, in between chores and parenting, when everyone else has fallen asleep. I have honestly been neglecting this talent of mine a lot since I became a mother. Time to get back on track with creativity!

I am an optimist that believes in positivity and second chances. I tend to quickly forget negative experiences, living in the moment. Out of sight, out of mind.

I am a blue dragoness that discovered the social potential of the internet in 2004 through GaiaOnline and deviantArt.

Trail of projects...

I am creative and easily distracted. I might pick up a hobby or project and do it intensly for a set period of time, and then find something new to do...

  • I got myself some guinea pigs in 2013 when my husband suggested it (after seeing me research pet rats for a while), we had a herd of 5 piggies at one point. Ended up creating a localized wiki about guineapig care and helped administrate the local piggy facebook group until 2017 when we had no piggies anymore. The husband still looks at guinea pigs on reddit years later.
  • I got into playing Krafties on second life between 2014 - 2017, and made it my personal mission to actually make their wiki functional, since it was just a collection of text notes with no wiki functionality. So I was the one who made the Krafties Wiki what it is today with templates and guides so contributors could keep it running. I barely touched it since I don't really visit SL much anymore...
  • I tried out my husband's nostalgic game, Pangaea in 2016, which is a danish Ultima Online shard. Learned how to be a cook, hosted the shard's wiki when the original one went down, created extensive pages on said wiki about cooking that was previously a mystery. Barely touched it since then...
  • I discovered a game called Vintage Story in 2024, it was everything I ever wanted minecraft to be. I started translating the game to Icelandic and reached 100% completion on my own. Now there is a local game server hosted by spicy.is that I manage, but have barely given myself time to play since I finshed the translation.
  • I spent a full year learning Spanish casually with DuoLingo until 2025 when we went to Tenerife with the family and kids, had a unbroken 365 day streak too. DuoLingo kept getting worse as an app throughout the time I used it, until I ended up uninstalling the app. Haven't touched it since...
  • I got roped into the local furry community back in 2006 and haven't left it since, even if I did consider myself to be dragonkin rather than a furry. Was there to be a founding member of the local group IcelandFurs in 2009, seen it grow and spiral and find it's path over the past two decades. It has been the only consistent social point in my life and I manage the group's discord and website.
  • I have always enjoyed customizing things on the web, had a lot of fun with playing with custom CSS to make pretty profiles. Even created a geocities website once (that I managed to recover from a archive and host on my own site, for the nostalgia). Ended up going through university, graduating as a Computer Scientist with focus on web development. Been too busy being a full time housewife and mother to have managed to get work experience in that field... now I want to be an artist again <.<
