Vanilla flares and a bad perm

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.

...which is one of the reasons I don't have that page on the web anymore. ;-)
I liked looking at your first homepgae. :-)
I couldn't figure out your discussion of the stained-glass paint. You talk about it as if it's more fragile than the glass? As if it's supposed to be taken off the glass, maybe? Because when I did that when I was a kid, the paint always became integral to the glass.
