Vanilla flares and a bad perm

As violetsquirrel reminded me, Geocities is going away!. (Anyone who was around the internet in the 90s should read that article, it's a work of art)

So, before it goes, here's my Geocities page. Fairly nondescript since I actually kept editing it until around 2001 (I got it back in my late teens. And I have to say, violetsquirrel saying "Oh no, my childhood!" makes me feel very old. We didn't have homepages when I was a child. We had to sumbit to class newspapers! Printed on dot matrix printers! In the snow!)

Anyone else got a Geocities page they want to share, revel in a bit of Gen X/Gen Y nostalgia?

I'd like to laugh at my siblings pages (they were children at the time, and very big fans of animated gifs. They've since moved on to MySpace) but alas I have lost the links. That award is from my sister, by the way, total nepotism in action.

Oddly, I was into the internet during the geocities era, but never got into geocities at all. I had a PEAC course in, I think, year 4 where we made REAL webpages, but I really struggled because I couldn't think of any information to put on my page. It made me feel really bad for having no hobbies while everybody else was making cool pages about horses or go-karts. The weirdest thing looking back is that I did have hobbies and things I could have made a webpage about... I guess I just never considered anything webpage worthy.

Actually, must have been '97 or '98, so year 5 or 6. I worked this out as one of the things I did have to write about was that my favourite band was Arkarna - a somewhat obscure alt electro/rock band similar to the Prodigy. I'm so proud of my 10yr-old-self's music tastes. All the other girls would have said Hanson.
