and I admit it. I've stolen a couple of design aspects from some pages that I respect immensely. you most likely will notice a few similarities between, say, my site and steelsong's. well, duh, she has been a huge help in getting me started, being quite frank in her opinions and most generous in her help and advice. so it's only natural I seek emmulate her. (I am in no way, shape or form even remotely comparing myself to the great goddess steelsong ~all hail steelsong~ *the bear and Marcel genuflect* I just think she is a fantastic person and talented author and web designer so why wouldn't I want to copy her?)

I shouldn't have to say this, but I will. please don't take my pics willy nilly. I will come after you and eat you if I find out you are using them. if you just email me and ask, I am almost sure to say yes.

oh, and make sure to check out the links page. they have all my favorite places to hang around, drooling over their stuff etc.
