My name is Annabelle. I'm 17, obviously female, and in Year 13 of Sixthform (Senior) as of September. I do way too much work, aim too high, and definately deserve a lot more than the shit I give myself. But at the end of the day, I know I'm smart, talented, and have a big heart.

Site History.
like regular history but more boring
I began making websites when I was about 11 years old using the infamous Piczo. I created this site (–DESTRUCTIONx) in 2005/2006, it was very basic and had loads of pictures of me and my friends, it had nothing really interesting for anyone else. Despite it being uninteresting, I loved the feeling of having my own space on the internet, so I guess this sparked my love for websites and webdesign. I had that site for about 6 months, and in a hope to start fresh, I created another site (now deleted). I uploaded like two pictures onto it and left it, it didn’t really contribute to anything.
After a year of having the first site I got bored, and created a new site (ToxicGasxo). This site really boosted my interest in webdesign, and I learnt HTML and CSS. Most of it was invalid, but I did get a strong hold on it. I started to make layouts on Paint Shop Pro X2, and offer tutorials, codes and images to the visitors. I practiced using Iframes, divs and more advanced HTML on two Webs sites (formerly Freewebs), and eventually I wanted more of a challenge.
After about a year of having ToxicGasxo, instead of moving to Freewebs/Webs I decided to get a co.nr domain and website hosted by Awardspace. I named this site DisasterKisses. This helped me get a stronger hold on advanced HTML, CSS, and FTP. This was a huge (although sometimes rather embarrasing) contributer to my knowledge today.
I had that site for 6 months, then Brenda offered me subdomain hosting. I named my site PerfectDenial, and I experimented with validating my code, XHTML, more CSS, WordPress and PHP. I also created nicer layouts on Paint Shop Pro. This again was a huge stepping stone, and I was hosted with her for over a year!
Unfortunately Brendas site was suspended in December ’09, and I had to find a new home. In Janurary 2010 I bought PerfectDenial.org, and carried on experimenting with PHP and WordPress, and creating more detailed layouts. After a few host changes from RigRag to Richard, here I am today! Hosted by DoneMyWay.com. Now at age 17 I am still using PHP and WordPress, and experimenting with divs and XHTML Strict.

The name “Perfect Denial” is from the song “A Beautiful Lie” by 30 Seconds To Mars. You can hear the song on Youtube: 30 Seconds to Mars – A Beautiful Lie
It’s a beautiful lie,

Such a beautiful lie to believe in,
So beautiful, beautiful lie it makes me.
