I’ve had confirmation from Site5 that F-T (both hosting and domain) will be cancelled/expire on 4th April. That’s less than a month away.

It’s been fun, but I’ll be glad to be rid of this unwanted burden at last.

I’m not going to renew the domain or web hosting in April. I think that’s final.

It has been an absolutely amazing couple of years having this freedom. Being able to learn about and use PHP and MySQL, having a hellofalot of webspace to use for whatever I want, all of the people I’ve met because of having this domain… I will be sad to see it go. But, everything has to end sometime, right? I just have no use for this anymore. I don’t play TCGs, I’m not in the Q*Bee, I hardly ever have time to blog… it really would be best if I stopped wasting my parents’ money. I’ll probably continue having a place to ‘blog’, but it’ll be one of the free sites, like Blogger or Wordpress. I’m going to point all emails to my old gmail account which I find myself checking nearly every day again now after… well, for some weird reason, anyway. And I’m going to make myself forget all the fun I used to have with html, ftp, php etc. I don’t know if I’ll ever get to use any of it again, and although I’m sad, I really don’t need it these days.

It’s been great, really it has. But I really don’t see how I could get fully interested in this domain again now. I’m not even a massive fan of the whole Forgotten-Twilight thing anymore. It’s so… well, I thought of it when I was fourteen, so maybe that gives you some kind of idea of what I mean. Maybe one day I’ll think of a more appropriate domain name. If I ever get that far again, that is.

I really miss this place, but at the end of the day, I see no reason to keep it going. I’ll probably keep myself in this ‘world’ and keep checking all the blogs I like etc, so some of you may still see me around occasionally. But otherwise, after April 4th F-T will be no more. I would close it earlier, but a) they’ve just taken money out for another 3 months, b) I might change my mind by April, haha and c) April is when the domain runs out anyway, so may as well make sure they’re both gone at the same time. It’s easier that way.

I might have something to say before then, but if not, thank you to everyone who has been reading my blog over the two years. It has all been so worthwile to know that people still check up, even though I’m a useless blogger.

God, I feel like putting on a ceremony or something. F-T has been such a big part of my life, I swear. Going to feel weird without it.

Oh well. Onwards and upwards.

Hello again.

Although I was actually supposed to have been doing research for English, I decided that I was pretty sick of the previous layout and had to get stuck into making a new one. I’m telling ya, that summer completely erased everything I once knew about making layouts out of my head. I had no idea what I was doing, half the time. It’s done now, though, and as you can see, the content is much wider than it was before, hopefully making it easier and better to read. I also merged and updated my ‘about’ page, and added a load of nifty icons in the footer. I decided to ditch the whole having-my-latest-tweet-displayed-in-the-header because I could never get it to look right, and the ‘links’ page was never being updated so it’s down for now. Other than that, not much has been changed, and hopefully everything still works and looks good.

And now I’m off to do some work. I hate how I have no motivation to do any at home, despite knowing the consequences. But then, in follow up to my previous post, the stress decided to hit me this week (although I’m thinking it was more to do with my.. er.. time of the month than anything else, except perhaps the weight on my shoulders I described in my tweet) so this weekend is a kind of stop-myself-from-doing-something-stupid thing. I swear, the things that have been running through my head these past few days are really shameful. TGIS, I say (that still works, right?). Monday and Tuesday are going to be hell, I foresee, because of my Art deadline, but hopefully next week as a whole will be a lot easier. Things are beginning to settle with my timetable and I’m beginning to realise what I can acomplish in free periods, so soon enough this whole sixth-form thing will be a breeze. A head’s up, though; I know I haven’t been sticking to any kind of routine lately, but blogging will be scarce from now on – during the week, at least – at least until the October half term. This layout will probably stay up until Christmas, unless I have the time to change it beforehand.

Ciao, me hearties. Yarr.
