hello!! my name is latch :) welcome to my silly website!

i love animals (they're my special interest) and i have three quirky cats who i love very much. i love to collect things - mainly physical media, but also things like toys and plushies. i am an adult who was born in the 2000s, and i enjoy nostalgic things from the 2000s and 2010s that bring me back to my childhood. (the marquees on the top and bottom are all of defunct (mostly mobile) games i loved as a kid, except for a couple which are games that never came out.)

my hobbies include playing video games, reading books, watching tv/movies, drawing, writing, shopping, and walking around outside. i love pink, rainbows, and cute things, but you can probably tell that by my how my site looks.

i created The Chillzone on a whim one day while i was sick. i found neocities through a tumblr post made by onemillionfurries! i thought it would be fun to have a place online that was just for me, and i could make it look however i want and talk about whatever i want. and i was right!! it is very fun. even though i wasn't around for it, i really admire the spirit of the old web - the wackiness, the customizability, and the aesthetic - and it's fun to keep part of it alive.

this site is in pretty much a finished state, and i very rarely add new pages. since i've been working on it since the tail end of 2022, some parts of it are "as-is" and don't really reflect how i feel now, as they were made by Past Versions Of Me (for example, i'm not obsessed with spamton anymore and honestly not as into nostalgia as i used to be.) but still...it's a fun little thing i've made and i'm proud of the work i've put into it!!

i hope you enjoy what my site has to offer!!
