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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Who am I?<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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).<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I am a blue dragoness that discovered the social potential of the internet in 2004 through GaiaOnline and deviantArt.<\/p>\n<h4>Trail of projects&#8230;<\/h4>\n<p>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&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/grisanaggar.myramidnight.com\">localized wiki about guineapig care<\/a> 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.<\/li>\n<li>I got into playing <a href=\"https:\/\/secondlife.com\/destination\/krafties-fantasy-pets\">Krafties<\/a> on second life between 2014 &#8211; 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/krafties.com\/wiki\/\">Krafties Wiki<\/a> what it is today with templates and guides so contributors could keep it running. I barely touched it since I don&#8217;t really visit SL much anymore&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>I tried out my husband&#8217;s nostalgic game, <a href=\"https:\/\/pangaea-world.dk\/\">Pangaea<\/a> in 2016, which is a danish Ultima Online shard. Learned how to be a cook, hosted the shard&#8217;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&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>I discovered a game called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vintagestory.at\/\">Vintage Story<\/a> 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.<\/li>\n<li>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&#8217;t touched it since&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>I got roped into the local furry community back in 2006 and haven&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/icelandfurs.is\/\">IcelandFurs<\/a> in 2009, seen it grow and spiral and find it&#8217;s path over the past two decades. It has been the only consistent social point in my life and I manage the group&#8217;s discord and website. <\/li>\n<li>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/myramidnight.com\/geocities\">geocities website<\/a> 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&#8230; now I want to be an artist again &lt;.&lt;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H\u00e6h\u00e6, \u00fei\u00f0 vir\u00f0ist hafa fundi\u00f0 dagb\u00f3kina m\u00edna.
