hiya! im @purpld (aka hpenney2 or hp for short)! but you probably already knew that from my home page.

here's some things about me! :3

the brief

you know my name already! i'm from the United States and i'm a hobbyist programmer with a love for animals and probably a lot of special interests (and a confused brain).

I AM

  • non-binary! (i think. he/they preferred but i won't bite)
  • a furry (kinda)

if you have a problem with any of this, idk you can leave if you want lol (or continue if you want to know more)

DOPAMINE CREATURES!

these are things that, for whatever reason, give my brain instant and massive bonks of dopamine. i don't know why (if someone could explain please help).
yes, they are all animals.

  • ORI! (from Ori and the Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps)
    • i think literally one of if not my favorite character. he is literally me. idk lol fluffy ori frog blinking animated GIF

  • Pokemon
    • especially Pokémon Mystery Dungeon! something about bandanas is adorable to me and i blame mastertrapmon. PLEASE go watch their animations i love their animations so much asddhfjshgh
      heart locket meme GIF with the text "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon my beloved"
    • my favorites are Pikachu, Oshawott, Riolu, Lucario, Buizel, and Dragonite. there are many more I could probably list off but they're the best

SPECIAL INTERESTS!

  • ANIMALS!!!!!
    • animals trigger some sort of dopamine response in my brain that i literally do not understand lol. this is literally why i'm a furry everything is so adorable (and for some reason i can express myself easier with colors and animal species)
      source: the dopamine creatures list directly before this lol
  • Technology
    • programming is my hobby and passion which i've been into for many years (although i mainly focus on backend if this website doesn't make that obvious...)
    • i love tinkering and knowing EXACTLY how everything works. this is part of why i like programming so much, but it's also why i tend to end up getting involved in other people's projects n stuffz

random facts!

  • i am a SUCKER for nostalgia and it almost always hits me like a TRUCK. if you show me Webkinz or Nintendo DS or 3DS stuff i will cry /j
    sounds and music are especially triggers for nostalgia for some reason. for instance, songs that i used to listen to many years ago, or the sounds and ambiance of old Windows versions or the 3DS
  • i often get anxious when sharing things about myself and my interests for some reason ;m;
    this website is actually somewhat of an escape from that and allows me to express myself more freely and comfortably with most (but not all, unfortunately) of that anxiety only in the back of my mind instead of screaming
    it's just more comfy on the internet for some reason, idk lol
  • i love music and singing but i never let anybody hear me sing, embarrassment is a crime

Questions by Unpopular Demand

the world's worst FAQ! (the unFAQ)

what do you mean "kinda" a furry?

i say kinda because i'm not heavily engaged in the community; it's mostly that i have a very large interest in animals and by extension anthro animals

are you stupid?

depends on who you ask. next question!

favorite music?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

(i don't know; my taste in music is two random dice rolls, 1 determines how long my favorites will last on a range from about 2 days to many months, and 2 determines what genre or artist or song)

thank you for reading! i don't know why i made this lol
