about.htm
This domain was bought September 28th, 2001 & is hosted by
AWH which was referred
to me by Kinsey. September 28th also happens to be Maren's birthday, so that makes
it super-special, ^^ The first two months were paid for by Shaun.
idea for the name
On the way home one night Shaun was playing a cd
in his car which consisted of random music. One song that came on was very
soothing & I fell in love w/ it. I asked him what it was, & he told me it was
'Celestial Soda-pop' by Ray Lynch. Just like the song, I fell in love w/ the
name instantly. He then said, "Ooh, that would make a very cute domain name! You
should get it!" So I did, the end. ^_^
about this layout
Version 10 "A million miles from nowhere"
Well, there really isn't much to this layout at all. I liked the color scheme & wanted to use it. All it is, is text & a square. \m/
past layouts
Version 1.0 "A:\floppy"
This was the first layout for C-S.Net. It will probably be my favorite for a long time, & I was sad to see it
go, but it was time for a change.
September 2001 - August 2002
Version 2.0 "Maren Lover"
This layout was made by
Maren who submitted it in my
layout contest. Sadly enough,
she
was the only one who did submit, but later after the contest was over I got 2
more submissions. This one would of won even if I had 12 dozen submissions, b/c
she put her heart into making
it for me. I love my
Maren*pie
& always will,
she's very
special to me & always will be.
August 2002 - October 2002
Version 3.0 "vroom vroom"
Some time back, Maren sent me an
online postcard from Meomi.com.
It was VERY cute & adorable, & the site was so wonderful. I looked all
around the site & found the other online postards they had available to
send, & I found one VERY cute one of a little bear-fish thingie in a car of
some sorts & off to the side it said "vroom vroom vroom". I saved this image
thinking I'd use it for a layout someday. MONTHS & MONTHS later, I was
looking through my folders & I found that image & right away I had the
idea for a layout using that image. It was basically made in 2 days, & put
up on the 3rd day. It was also the first layout that didn't have a splash
page.
October 2002 - January 2003
Version 4.0 "Sinfest"
This was a very basic & simple layout. It was black &
white, which you don't see much of lately. I really liked this layout, & I
got good feedback as well.
January 2003 - April 2003
Version 5.0 "Junko Style"
Well, I love Junko Mizuno's work, as does most anyone. & this here fire-breathing girl I especially liked.
The colors were wonderful & it naturally led me to making a layout. I found her on this website.
I initially made this layout back in January at the same time that I made the Sinfest layout. I can't make a layout & NOT use it, ^^;
April 2003 - June 2003
Version 6.0 "FU"
Well, I had started on this layout 2 months ago & finally got more inspiration this past week or so & finished it.
Basically, we have these Chinese/Japanese looking writings here & there, but it's all in English, can you tell what it says?
I'm not the creator of the original writing, my irl friend Kevin is. I just took what he made & did more w/ it. It makes for one
interesting layout, right? ;D I also needed a character in the upper left hand corner, & Lani
suggested I use her leafy cloud that she made me for my birthday & draw that in MS Paint, so I did, ^^
June 2003 - July 2003
Version 7.0 "Chii?"
By far my most favorite layout yet. I was browsing one of my, *cough*, hentai manga scan cds & found a VERY cute picture
of Chi from Chobits. Well, it was so cute that I decided that I just HAD to use it. So I edited out everything that was
behind her in the pic, & then made the layout around that & gave everything a white border.
July 2003 - September 2003
Version 8.0 "Leafy Cloud"
I am a big fan of Lani's leafy clouds, & had been dying for her to
make me a layout using them for a long time. I finally got my wish, =D
September 2003 - November 2003
Version 9.0 "HP Mongloid-ness"
As we all know, I am a Harry Potter Mongloid.. as so wonderfully put by Allison.
While combing through one of the many HP Doujinshi scan sites I have found, this image just popped up at me & screamed "make me into a
layout!". So, I did. I cropped it, added blinds & text. It had to of been one of my most simple yet pretty layouts.
November 2003 - July 2004
