This is where you can learn about why I picked Watanuki and Catepillar and all that jazz.

Why did I pick Watanuki?

Orignally I wasn't going to pick him, I thought about picking Subaru from Tokyo Babylon first. It was short and I like Subaru. However, thinking about it would have ended up the site being a total rant fest instead of something else. I didn't want that, so I was thinking of who else I adored and then it clicked. Watanuki Kimihiro of xxxHolic. So that's how I ended up picking Watanuki. And I picked him because he is a spazz and very caring. Very emotional. That and I feel I can relate to him in certain aspects of life. I'm not identical to Watanuki but I can related to some things.

Catepillar? Really?

Well, Butterfly was taken. I was origianlly going to pick that but Saya owns a Yuko site called Butterfly. And I didn't want to pick the same name. So then I was like April Fool or Delicious but I wasn't too fond of those. Talking to my sister, Snow, really helped. She suggested Catepiller and I liked it. I feell the site name fits with Watanuki too. Because like a caterpillar to a butterfly, he evolves throughout the story. He really comes into his own. He's a good man.

And why'd I enter the marathon?

I've always wanted to do a marathon but never really did it. So when I finally felt like I got the opportunity to do one, I kind of jumped at it. Of course, it was a paperback marathon and I wanted to pick a character important to me who I adored. I think that was the harder part. Instead of waiting for the next marathon, I decided to just do it. So I picked Watanuki and jumped in.

Okay, and now the layout.

The scene is when Watanuki and Mugetsu (pipe fox) go through the vase on a full moon. I used textures from Celestial Star, to get the color effect. And background patterns came from Subtle Patterns.
