Summery layout featuring Natalie Portman. Image from NataliePortman.com

This was actually a template I had made for my diary-x account, and I opted to use a different template over there. I then offered this template to someone else, but she didn’t want it so I just made it a new layout here instead. The photo was from gettyimages.com

Gone with the Wind is one of my all-time favorite movies. It was being shown on television repeatedly at the the end of 2003, which inspired me to make this layout.

 Pictures of me from Canada, taken by Ann.

Part of a painting I did for my cousin’s birthday.

A mixture of photographs I collected from around my house. Mostly of me and Martin throughout our lives, but also of family members and my closest friends.
Â

The photo was taken by Kaytee, and I really loved it so I used it as a layout. Then I got sick, and then I got busy, and nowhere in between there did I ever get tired of this layout. I only changed it, because it was so unlike me to keep things the same for such a long time.

Versailles, France. Photos I took &Â mementos from my trip with a couple photoshop brushes.

Red and orange goodness?
Â

Turned everything into ASP files for easier updates. I just needed a change and couldn’t think of a new layout, so I used a drawing someone did of me a few years ago.
Â

Harley Quinn! Need I say more?
Â

Moulin Rouge. I didn’t want to have my Moulin Rouge layout looking like every other one out there, so I used abstract images and kept it dark.

 <-- Pop-Up Content

 This one stayed up forever! It was a picture of me and an iFrame. The menu at the top was a javascript code where it slid in and out from the side.

 I don’t remember what it looked like.

Since I couldn’t bring my next idea to light without a digital camera, I threw this together in a matter of minutes just for a change. It’s Gaz from Invader Zim. I love her. She is me in cartoon form.

Faeries! More importantly ME as a faerie. It took me forever to bring this idea to reality, and I even went so far as to give all my pop-ups their own version of me as a faerie. But, eventually I got bored of it and had a new idea. Something brighter and cheery.

This lasted the longest so far, and I think it’s obvious why–cuz it RAWKED! I drew this cool punk chick, and decided she was my next layout. It was 3 frames: the right being my blog, the middle being the navigation, and the left being where content loaded. I loved it, except it sucked in lower resolutions and I had a new idea planned…
Â

Ratpack. Horizontal scrolling. I accidentally deleted this layout before getting a screenshot. Then someone sent me screenshots and my boyfriend accidentally deleted those from my computer. So, all I have to show is the background image I used. To give you an idea, the first blank space had my blog, and the last blank space had my links and hostees. There was a pull down menu for content that loaded where the blog was. [sigh] I dedicated it to the anniversary of my dad’s death. I can’t believe I didn’t get a screenshot.
Â

Faceless. Horizontal scrolling?
Â

MILLA! I love Milla, and in honor of her new movie I made a layout out of her.
Â

 ME! I took a picture of myself, messed with it for a few minutes and decided on this layout. I really liked it, and I’m not too sure why I decided to take it down. Oh well.
Â

LINUS! I wanted something cute, and something that went along with the whole domain name. Linus seemed like the perfect character to portray immaturity. Dontchya think?

 This was a rip-off of the last personal layout I had on secretaddiction.com I didn’t really have a name for it, but someone once mentioned something about “Ice Queen Cool,” or something along those lines.
