about this layout

Some may be thinking, "This doesn't look anything like what you usually make." You'd be correct.

Now, as you sit there some of you may be thinking "I've seen this layout before, hm." You'd be correct, again.

And some of you may be thinking... "OHMYGODBBQ!!!1!~! THIS LAYOUT! YOU EBBBBIL!!" And I guess you are still correct, but I'll laugh.

This layout isn't my usual style, at least not now-a-days. This layout was originally created back in its first incarnation in September of 2001, the fall of my High School Graduation year. It was after I finally got to see the entire Utena movie in full length, and it was constantly on my mind. I had a laptop that I brought to school, and I was rarely seen not on it. Most of the time I was designing, because I had more spare time than study time. When I was in class I took notes or did my assignments; if you think I make a lot of typos at the keyboard, my handwriting is worse. Scary thought, isn't it?

I'll never forget this layout, and there are a lot of reasons. One of them is that I designed it on a particularly beautiful rainy day, sitting in the cafeteria with my current companions; my life was currently free of drama, I was making high grades in school, and I was just happy. Everyone talked and gossiped, I just sat, listening, and doodling in photoshop. I thought I was almost finished with the layout when one of my friends leaned over, a friend who I also shared a love of Utena with, and she said, "Wouldn't it be cool if you put crazy numbers like on a dash board?" So, I did. They weren't easy; I won't even claim they were. I still hate working with the animation.

When it was finished I put the layout on a domain I had set aside for multimedia and other useless stuff: I'll never forget the first comment that started... "That looks like ________'s layout on ________." Well, I just shrugged.

Everything from there was blown up.

I won't talk about who I was accused of copying, or the website, or the accusers; they all know who they are. I'll talk about the events that followed from there.

I didn't really try very hard defending myself: I knew it was a hopeless battle. The person was more popular than I, and in such a serf society the accused is always guilty and never proven innocent. So I just let people throw all of the attacks they wanted to me. I won't say taking it was easy, it wasn't. I've been flamed by people I never met, people I knew, people I thought to be my friends. I've had immature and spiteful hate webpages made about me pretending to state evidence to prove my guiltiness. It made me reclusive and cynical about contacting people within what was then called the Anime Domain Community. To this day I am still distrustful of the people from that age; strange, though, that I'm still around?

This layout to me isn't my best work, and I never claimed it was. I merely opened up photoshop, cleaned it up, exported because I wanted to replace a previous #5 layout, and this was a layout I swore I'd never take down. I keep it up to spite those who accused and attacked me, and to make those who stood by me grin. I know it makes me grin.

Well, I'm still here, and so is the Evil Layout Of Doom. Worst of all to those who hate me, I've still got my websites, I've still got my friends, and I've still got my big fucking grin.

I dedicate this layout's immortality to the following people: M who suggested the numbers, my friends, and my enemies.
