Sarah, born in 1995, sometimes called Surtsey. Per Wikipedia, “[i]t is estimated that Surtsey will remain above sea level until at least the year 2100.” Until I am subsumed, this volcanic island is open to visitors.

This is an old-fashioned personal website, more or less. My first, conceived in 2006, was www.freewebs.com/footprintsinthesand004. It contained some Christian poetry and humor, the sort of thing passed on in email chains. I forwarded some of those myself. Other content included short stories, a campaign to save the arctic seals, my obsession with American Girl, and I don’t know what else. Somehow no one found more than a couple early screenshots worthy of the Wayback Machine.

I had been meaning to do something like this for a while when I came across a modern-day personal ad for, among other things, people “WHO [HAVE] DONE SHADOW WORK” and “[are] open to trying radical honesty.” I felt I met at least these criteria and gained access to this person’s project. As inspiring as I found it at the time, my approach is not the same. (I’ll have more to say on this later.)

A personal website is incomplete without glitter text. This is the one exemplar saved to my computer for some reason.

Harpo Marx admirer, de facto librarian, leaf photographer, synthesizer, rearrangement servant, devout agnostic, pneumatic and melancholic-phlegmatic presence. Can sometimes be found wearing an invisible Talk to me sign at the bus stop. If you don’t find me there, talk to me at sgf292 @ gmail.

Testimonial: “[Sarah] always seemed somewhat of a Deleuzist to me.”

In this website, I will figure out what that means and whether I agree. There is a lot to read.
