I just want to start off by saying that I LOVE WordPress. I am so excited about having a customized layout that I feel like writing a million entries!

When I was in high school I went by Natalie Haynes and had a website called dinette.org that I tried hard to update regularly. Though I failed, I still had enough visitors to keep me motivated to try. I had a pseudonym and made a bunch of friends (yes, this proved to be possible even before MySpace), and it was fun. However, the burden of fraud began to take its toll after a few years, when using a fake name became more embarrassing to me than exciting. Everybody knew everything about me, except my real name—yet including my real address—but I didn’t know how to re-introduce myself as myself.

Through college, I ditched the website and fake name and wrote in a LiveJournal. Now that I’ve finished school with a BFA in Graphic Design, I think it’s time to have a personal site again.

So welcome to my new website. Along with a weblog, I also have an online portfolio. I would really like to make a living working while wearing pajamas, so let me know if you’d like to support my pajama-party dreams.

    adam and i talked about how your real name sounds more fake than your fake name.

    I’m listening to your muxtape, and it’s superb. So thanks for that.

    Nice idea, putting your website addy in the title of your tape. That brought me here. And you’ve got a nice site started. Nice and airy feeling. Well done!

    Good luck with all of your design endeavors – especially the part about working in your PJ’s. It’s a noble goal.

    Hi! I’m glad you liked my tape. I used to love making mixes for my friends and hearing how much they enjoyed them ;]

    I hoped that putting my website address in the title wouldn’t be totally futile, so thanks so much for visiting me and leaving such a nice comment.
