About Me

Hi! Thank you for visiting my website! I go by Inky online- although I've also gone by Starlight before, and I've been toying with the idea of going by Kitty, which would be a nickname of a nickname. I'm in my 30s, and I started working on this website cause I've got some major nostalgia for how the internet used to look when I was younger.

I tend to take a jack-of-all-trades approach to hobbies and interests, and usually what I do is focus on a few things at a time depending on what makes my brain happy. Unfortunately sometimes (oftentimes) my brain doesn't know what it wants. Do I want to focus on writing and work on a novel? Go back to school and work on getting something in library sciences? Attempt to do the Youtuber thing? No one knows! Least of all, me.

Basic Facts

• Pronouns: she/her/they
• Where I'm From: Texas (I've lived in a couple different places in Texas, but it's all been Texas)
• Major: Maritime Studies (think archaeology with a little bit of anthropology mixed in)
• Dream Job: To renovate either an old school building into my house or fix up a farmhouse and run an event venue on my property and possibly also have a bookstore and do craft shows
• General Attitude: Maybe the power of love and friendship *will* fix everything! And if not we can try biting.
• Inconvienent Fear: Thalassophobia (fear of deep water) cause before I realized I had it I wanted to be a marine biologist/shark scientist. But I tried learning how to suba dive and had some pretty severe anxiety attacks and also I'm terrible at chemistry.

Some random interests:

• Old houses and architecture
• Miniatures
• Ancient Egypt (I had a huge mummy-specific phase when I was younger and still that but also culture)
• Ships
• Historical Fashion (I'm trying to have a focus, I really am, but everything looks lovely when the person is excited about wearing it)
• Abandoned places (I don't go exploring because I have a deep-seated fear of getting in trouble that started in childhood and never stopped)
• Ghost Hunting (I don't actually do this personally though- although I love ghost tours)
• Ancient Burial Customs
• Folk Dances
• Hauntings
• Animatronics

Things that terrify me but I can't stop wanting to learn about:
