Thanks to Charley for hosting me and Kaylee for installing FanUpdate (and so much more). Congratulations to Lena for finally getting the first comment!

Killjoy is my sixth subdomain, my personal blog and writing collection. It has been preceded by Dirty Little Secret, Shadow Eclipse, Tattling Rose, Reinvent Love, and Histrionic. This doesn't include the countless other websites I've had in the past.
I started out on Matmice in the 4th grade, around 2004. Back then, my webdesign skills were limited to copying and pasting codes for flashy backgrounds. I abandoned the hobby for two years after that, until I started up again in the last few months of the sixth grade, in early 2007. After the end of another crappy "website," I made one of my most successful sites to date: Journey. This became popular among the tiny Matmice community. I posted chapters of my first novel, Journey, as I wrote them, acquiring a (small) fanbase and actually completing the novel.
When Journey was coming to an end, in August 2007, I started experimenting with webdesign again. This resulted in a few crappy Freewebs sites for the next four months or so. I improved my skills and learned to make decent looking sites, downloading my first graphic design program, Corel Painter X.
In December 2007, I finally was able to make a subdomain. I downloaded Photoshop a little less than a month later. This is when I really started to get into webdesign. I put all my focus on subdomain, and neglected my Matmice sites (and stopped writing the sequel to Journey, The Devil's Territory). In February 2007, I started a new subdomain, Shadow Eclipse, but soon abandoned that as well when I moved onto what I consider to be my first "real" site, Tattling Rose.
Tattling Rose started out as an icon site, but became the most popular site I've ever had (over 13,000 hits). I soon started making other graphics and attracted more visitors with my blog. I also made some of my best online friends to date while on this site. But for some reason, in June 2008, I switched to Reinvent Love. This site did well until a long hiatus period in September-October 2008. After that, I'd lost most of my visitors, and pretty much corresponded with only my closest friends.
Due to the closing of my host's site, I had to move again, this time to Histrionic. This site was mainly just my blog and my writing. I kept it just for fun.
In September 2009, Histrionic spontaneously disappeared (aliens?!) and Killjoy was born. The End.
Sorry for boring you with that long and unwanted site history.
