The Site
Bayonet Garden was started in my senior year of high school -- but never got off the ground until about six months after, when I started working on it in college. That means it's about 4 years old from start to finish.
The Garden was named "Engima; pixel and poetry cafe" to begin with, but it changed to ::Rust the :: Bayonet Garden :: after I dreamt about that -- really!
Version 1: Devil duckies
Version 2: a lovely red thing with my muse, Mattie, on it... (I'll get a picture up soon...)Thanks to Himini off of the Underground for making it!
Version 3: The happy light blue you see now.
Site Mascot:
If you look over to your left, you'll see Taiji. With Taiji. And a foetus (who might have been Taiji). Well. Erhm. At the moment, Taiji (he hates that name, call him Joey) is my site mascot -- he's a bioengineer who ran away from his yakuza family the first chance he could -- so he didn't have to become an accountant.... like his brother-in-law had decided he should be. Weird things happen, though, that make him shirtless. He actually wears glasses, too. Hrm.
