About This Site

This site is quite unique. I've seen some snippets that are like this site, e.g. the Crystal Millenium, but I haven't seen one organized exactly in the way I've organized my site. The page is best viewed as a story; a huge story. It is meant to be read by you, so you understand who I am and what I believe in when you see the other areas of the site. However, I am not forcing the reader to follow the story; I still include links on both main pages (yes, there are two: index2.html and index3.html) so that you can visit any area of the site from there.

A second point I must clarify is Z-san. Z-san is not just one person; Z-san is a characterization of all the people that have hurt me over time. When I was first creating Z-san as a character, it was designed to be one person. The next day, I was at school and saw my archnemesis (who was not Z-san) and I realized she was exactly like the Z-san character I had created! I went back and read my diary, noting how many people I knew that were like Z-san. There were at least 5. You probably know a Z-san; they're part of life, and you learn to deal with them. And respect them; hence the -san..the san ending is a way to show respect in Japanese, much like Mr. or Ms.

The background and picture of me in the long blue dress were hand-drawn, scanned and edited by me exclusively for this site. You may not use either under any circumstances. Any cow-related images you see were created by Fiona Warman of Kat's Keep and are being used with her written permission. The "Free Homes At Geocities" button you see at the bottom of this page was also created by Fiona Warman for general use by Geocities homesteaders. The star backgrounds and star images were created by me exclusively for this site; however, if you wish, you may ask me and I will allow you to use any of them that you wish. *smile* Various other areas of the site use other peoples graphics; I generally indicate this with a link back to their graphics site at the bottom of the page.

All of the writings on this site are mine unless otherwise specified. Any music that you hear on this site has been obtained from either the Midi Farm or from Fiona Warman. There may be some RealAudio drifting through some areas; the pianist and male vocalist would be Brian Nelson; female vocalist and any sort of percussion, recorder, or other instruments would be me (Rosie Nelson).

There are some other sites of mine you may be interested in. One is a tribute to a teenager who committed suicide, Amanda. Another is my Sailor Moon site, Songbird's Sailor Melody. A third is my newest site, entitled Rosey's Stall, about my invisible horse, Rosey.

My parents are very open about the internet; they feel that my making this web page and giving you the information that I have given you is safer than going out to the mall. They believe that I should feel free to post photographs, writings, my hometown, my full name, pretty much whatever on my homepage. If someone wants to stalk me, they can do it anyway, even if I attempt to hide the information from them; so I am very open. However, there are two things I do tend to screen: my mailing address and my telephone number. I generally have an e-mail relationship with a person for a minimum of one year before I consider giving them my address; and I always snail-mail my telephone number with the first letter. We have security where I live and we screen our phone calls, so I'm not too worried about the few who I give these things to.

Please enjoy my site and feel free to leave both positive and negative messages in my guestbook or e-mail box; however, any rude or obscene messages will be filtered out. Thank you for your time!
