there's a new penguin in town

[zj]

Hi!  I'm zj. I'm new here on MelonLand, hoping to make some friends, and I wanted to introduce myself :D

So, here are the basics ~

- I'm 22 years old (millenium baby)
- I live in Sweden!
- I'm a guy and use he/him 
- I may or may not be pingu irl
- I'm addicted to chai


So what brings me here? 

I've always loved niche forums, having basically grown up on one myself. I discovered Tumblr as a young teen, and it was the first time I was able to customise my own page via html! And  I've missed it - the shared joy that is niche internet forums, and having control over my own space on the net. I joined NeoCities back in january and absolutely adore being able to customize  e v e r y t h i n g  :3

Sooo that's me :3 oh btw if you wanna see my site, it's zj.neocities.org

Hello! Nice to meet you :3 I understand that joy of customizing things with html/css as a teen, I learned a lot from decorating my deviantart journals back in the day.

Your website looks really slick so far! Love your scrapbook page, what a cool idea.

thank you sm!!! :D

i love chai with oat milk too! :) i used to only get it when i was out & about, but i started preferring making it at home once i found the brand that peet's coffee uses. that's my go-to when i can't find local brands, but i like buying local brands near me like chico chai!

Hello zj; welcome to the forum 

oohh I love your avatar, and I love your site, its so cozy and I would like some tea now 

I dunno if its helpful but here is a recipe for making milk tea the way my Chinese flatmates used too:

• Put sugar in a pan over a stove; heat it until it caramelises into a golden brown.
• Add boiling water (BE VERY CAREFUL)
• Then add your tea bags and brew for a few mins
• Then add milk and let it all heat up
• DRINK!!

Hope you enjoy the forooooooooom!
