Hi. My name is Michelle. This is my personal website. Exhibitionist, narcissist? Sure whatever. So, all about me? I am Canadian. Currently living in Sudbury, Ontario. Hometown Halifax, Nova Scotia. A university graduate. I like to design websites because I can. I am apparently rather good at it. Taken. In love. Cute, big blue-grey eyes & short, dark hair. I adore daisies, dragonflies, web design, indie, emo, acoustic, chick rock, trip-hop, and ambient music. You can find me at last.fm with the username Opeia. TV on DVD, Lost, Nip/Tuck, movies (fanatic), martinis, psychology, Dali and mythology. I am flirty. I play the flute and the piano. Intelligent and multi-talented. Of course. Was there any doubt?



I love my pets. I have an adorable pet bunny named Gwenyth. He digs a lot. He enjoys cardboard, raisins and banana-chips. A Holland Lop born November 27, 1999. Little rascal. As you probably noticed I referred to Gwen as a boy. Well, that's a long story for another day. I have the sweetest most lovable and playful black kitty with mint green eyes named Bella. She is quite the talker. She plays tag, fetch, catch, hide n' seek...you name it! I adopted her from the SPCA in October 2004 when she was approximately 1 year old. We do not know her actual birthday so we celebrate on Halloween. Purrrrfect for a little black kitty. More about me...

Far too often people confuse and assume things about all of this (like why someone would be so weird as to have a personal website, like omg). Well. Read this. You really should not take what you see and read here that seriously. I hardly even update my personal websites anymore as it is. And sometimes it can get a little out of hand and downright wacky around here ;) If you are here for professional reasons (in web and graphic design) visit my portfolio domain, opeia.net (the little website that never gets put together) or send me an email with your requests and we shall see what we can negotiate. Naturally, I am available for hire should a great web or graphic design opportunity come my way!

Quite some time ago I moved my personal online journal to Livejournal. This is permanent. Because I love LJ and, although it seems like a big contradiction here on the internet, my LJ is private. I write there quite frequently so if you are trying to keep up with me that is where you shall find me. I also have nifty MySpace and Last.fm accounts too if you fancy a visit to those. PS; I like when people send me love notes. So if you want to use the message form. ORRRRR you can do even better and buy me a gift from my Amazon.com wishlist? Yay!

About Echoica? Has been around for awhile. Like years. Navigate using the links on the pretty graphic up top. This is design version { 59 } created with my imagination & creativity, Photoshop, my brushes, Palatino Linotype & Violation fonts. Do you want to know more?

One-hundred fifteen full brush packages and hundreds of Adobe Photoshop brushes for your personal use on your computer graphics. Since 2002. Compatible with older Photoshop versions as well as the new. This is one of my more popular projects that I have created thus far. I hope you enjoy using my brushes that I have made available to you. I would love to see how my brushes are being used at any time, so feel free to contact me and let me know where and how I may view your creations.

Brain Stew is the only approved fan listing for the amazing band, Green Day at the Fanlistings Network. Boasting over 8000 members, Brain Stew also more than just the fanlisting with other features such as pictures, biographies, desktop wallpaper, fonts, fan art, and an album discography. Are you a Green Day fan? Tell everyone by getting listed now!

Experimentation. My art & portfolio site. Really, it is just a waste of space because I never get around to designing it.

Anisoptera is the only approved fan listing for dragonflies. Ok, sure that is a little weird. I created this fan listing because I think dragonflies are one of the most beautiful & delicate creatures. Unfortunately, as pollution penetrates and destroys our bogs, marshes and other dragonfly habitats they have become unsuitable for the species. Their numbers continue to dwindle. Join this fanlisting to show your appreciation, respect, and support for this spectacular insect.

A Green Day lyrics archive. Looking for a specific Green Day song lyric? Look no further.

A directory for non-commerical websites. I originally created this site in 2002 and maintained it until around 2003. It grew very fast and I found I did not have the will nor the time to take care of it the way it should be taken care of. I handed Glitter over to Ang and Arehdel and it is currently one of the most well known directories within the personal website community. Glitter currently lists over 4000 websites.

I honestly do not keep up with personal websites as often anymore. I do however keep up on everything at Livejournal and Myspace. So if you really want to get my attention or find me that is definately the place to go.
