welcome to my webzone !!!!!

i made this site so that i can put the stuff i like or make somewhere that isn't tracking you or running javascript or doing anything terrible. also i get to make it look horrible! What a blessing . . .
(im currently working on a new website! come back in a little while maybe yay !)

please feel free to check out any of the links over here -----------> you can contact me at ele@strafe.ing if you have any comments or you would like to say hi :)

im 28, i live in the dmv, i use it/she pronouns

i love doing and learning about stuff ! here's some of my hobbies and passions:

• i listen to a lot of music and i dj. i love music with intense textural elements or any sort of enveloping feel! i think djing is cool because it can function as a really gorgeous storytelling medium for both the performer and the listener, and also because i love to dance! i'm very inspired by artists like CCL and Lung Dart.
• i love photography and im extremely drawn to interesting textures. i shoot on a Sony RX100 VI and a Canon SD1300 (the blue one) running CHDK. if you want to get into photography you should get the shittiest camera possible because limitations make you better. you should also find a photographer who inspires you and try to replicate their style. i learned a lot from trying to replicate ernst haas' work, even if it's not some of my favorite photography.
• i love source engine, i've spent thousands of hours bunnyhopping and it means the world to me. it's such an incredibly beautiful emergent art form and there is almost nothing in this world that compares to the flow state or the feeling you get when you are fully engaged in a run. even though i rarely bunnyhop anymore due to pursuing other hobbies & due to wrist/arm strain, i still think about it all the time. it's why this website has the url that it has and why i have a tattoo of bunnies hopping on my arm ^w^.
• i love cooking and i love coffee. i'm most familiar with chinese or korean cuisine and i cant stop making dandanmian. i love pour over coffee, i've been getting back into espresso, and i adore naturally processed light roasted beans that taste like fruit.
• i love toys im a big toy fan; i like really any skilltoy eg balisong begleri cardistry whatever your Angle is i prolly fw it
• i like to go to the club
• i like walking in circles
