about me
Hi, I'm Kingston, as you probably deduced. I go by some variations of prestopy /ˈpɹɛstoʊpi/ on the internet (prestopy, daprestopy, daprestopie, etc.). Fun fact, for a surprisingly long time when I was around five, I became obsessed with double-acting spring hinge doors (the kind of doors that could open both ways). I would sit there, no joke, and just stare at them (all while figuring out how to pronounce the 'th' in 'three'.)
ASIDE: People tell me I have a very particular writing style— apparently, I go on tangents. You know that joke about having seven trains on four tracks, and all the conductors are just screaming? Yeah, that’s me. You can imagine how annoying this becomes when I’m trying to write an academic or more formal piece of writing. The tangential thinking just does not work out. At all. I hate those forms of writing so much that I even wrote an entire article about how essays suck for me.
I really enjoy programming, reading, blasting music, watching the intros for movies, and believe it or not, touching grass. Sometimes I run, though I’m not very good at it, but most of the time, I just take a nice, scenic stroll. The universe is awesome (sometimes).
what i'm working on right now
Asdf — A todo list app built from scratch by myself so that I actually use it
I am not an organized person. At all. I procrastinate a lot, even on just the smallest things. In an attempt to remedy this, I've tried Apple's Reminders app, Todoist, and a bunch of other minimalistic todo apps but to no avail. Eventually, I realized that it wasn't the apps that were ineffective. It was me. So I a few months ago, I began work on Asdf, a todo app. The rationale is that if I create it myself, I'll be much more inclined to use it and thus, stay organized. I'd also be able to add whatever I want without worrying about how others' might use it, because this app was built by me, for me.
my most recent thought
Many grew up with parents that guided and nurtured them, teaching them how to act or what to do in different situations. However, one parent is often overlooked: society. Although it is not a parent in the traditional sense, it definitely plays a massive role in everyone’s upbringing whether for better or for worse. This is largely in part of just how often we interact with those around us. Humans are social creatures, which is why those in solitary confinement are at risk for so many severe adverse psychological effects.
