twisted



Site

Twisted is one of the few websites that I had which served as a place to express the ups and downs of teenagedom (if there’s such word). In here, you will also find my bookshelf and my fanlisting collective. It is kindly hosted by Darrell and is powered by WordPress.

I chose the name Twisted for three main reasons: one, it perfectly describes adolescent life — full of long twists and sharp turns; two, it shows that I am not perfect and that I also have twists and flaws; lastly, it simply sounds cool.

I would like to thank Colour Lovers for providing me such a wonderful color palette, Clicky Web Analytics for monitoring my stats, Famfamfam for some icons, tinibook on Deviantart for the smilies and Stripe Generator for constantly providing me the stripes I need whenever I am too lazy to open up Photoshop.

I also use some plugins to make sure that this website runs smoothly according to my preferences. Here is a list:
