because i don't feel so red and angry and enraged anymore. besides, the cute 38-pixeled height of the blogger navbar should shine in all its glory. heh. plus, i feel kinda good having to use one of my drawings as a layout image. finally, i didn't need to bastardize whatever picture i could get my dirty little hands on in my hard drive.
the girl, by the way, is another one of my renditions of Death. and that's the main theme for this layout. the little verse is from an anonymous author i got somewhere off the net. it says:
remember friend as you pass by
as you are now so once was i
as i am now you soon shall be
so prepare for death and follow me
morbid as it may sound, Neil Gaiman's Death is actually very cheerful, very optimistic, and if that's not enough to describe her, she often likes saying, "peachy keen."
