Welcome to my cosmic corner of the web, sorry about the clutter, but I think it's better that way.
I remember being so damn proud of this, where did the time go!
you can do a lot in 2 years, but sometimes you need to sit down and relax.
of course, the original layout was a lot more busy and unoptimized, and I couldn't figure out what
a "div" was to save my life, but there's a charm to that. if I had just slightly more experience, everything would've been neatly packed in this box like now.
it's kind of funny how frustrating it was back then to even make a container to the point I just drew up something instead and now it's such a mundane part of making any page. I admit i'm still awful at mapping out my css properly, so I use generated grids and html viewers a lot, but I don't think that's something to be ashamed of, it just means I have more growing to do.
