I also like a small assortment of anime, such as Sailor Moon, Fushigu Yuugi, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, InuYasha, Blue Seed, Munto, Black Cat, DNAngel, Ayashi no Ceres, Saber Marionette J.
I share a home with my older sister and, currently, five furry four-legged critters! They are (in order): Marlowe, Casper, Sunny, Renn and Lilah.
Between then and now I've ran a few different petz sites: ShowCase Petz, Fortuosity, Drachen Fire, and now currently Midnight--my longest running. I started on AOL Hometown, moved to Geocities and then was eventually hosted by a couple of lovely members in the PC--first, Alicia @ Filibuster, and currently Luli @ Chestnut!
Midnight opened in 2006 under the name Middle Night, inspired by the life of my much beloved black cat Midnight whose life was tragically cut very short and passed away in 2005. My mom had given him "Middle Night" as an odd but very cute nickname, and I thought it'd make a perfect site name in memory of him. However, after thinking it over for a few years, I decided to use his proper name instead. Call it going "formal" I guess. Another reason for the choice of site name is due to my night owl nature. My circadian rhythm has always been off for as long as I can remember, and much of my free time, like reading, gaming, and especially petzing and site maintenance is done during quite literally in the middle of the night. XD
Fun fact: Midnight was the uncle of two of my previous cats, Binx and Ashley!
v1: Embrace The Night
June 7th, 06 - September 20th, 06
I often cringe when I look back at this one. I shouldn't but I do. I barely knew anything about html or making graphics back then, but I tried. Take pity, we were a wee babby at this time.

I think this was the start of my iframe days. I love this fall aesthetic.

Messed around a lot with colors and patterns and somehow got that green & bronze-ish banner thing. Still very pretty.

v14: Welcome to the Fright
October 4th, 08 - November 27th, 08
Of course we're back to Sleepy Hollow again. It wouldn't be me if I didn't do this theme occasionally. This is a real photo from a real Halloween event taken at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, Virginia. The photo isn't mine but I have actually been there to see this in person. It was really amazing to see the Headless Horseman come to life.
v15: that olde holiday vintage

Pink again, but simple and quite nice.
v24: fall 2015

v25: Lamppost
October 10th, 2017 - ?
This one wasn't officially given a name, but Lamppost will do. I had been wanting to do this sort of theme for a while and finally managed to work it out.

October 2018 - ?
No official name for this one either. This has an early days vibe cause I struggled with ideas.

A simplistic pawprint theme, and my longest running layout.
v28: 20 Years!
June 2026
Our current theme for the 20th anniversary! Features my six original petz from 2000, plus one sneaky kitty (Wexford).
