introduction
Welcome to Off-Balance, ^__^. Please, pull up a chair and let the wonderfully correct grammar (except for capitalizations, o.O) and lack of chat-lingo filled words sooth your wounded ears. Hehe, :). Here is the warm abode of my poetry and prose, opinions and rants, etc etc. In time, I might add some visitor stuff... but, I'm not too sure, because then I might have to make this site more graphics-orientated, rather than writing-targeted. Oh well, we shall see. Oops, it looks like I went off on tangents, again. Anyway, if you have already read the terms, then... To the writing!
poetry
all of my older poetry can be found at taorispoems.diaryland.com, becasue there are way too many to put up at this wonderfully small server i have now :). but i will be putting up all of my newer poems here (note: i might move the older ones here too, it depends on how lazy i feel XD) .

blog
it does count as writing, doesn't it? it's not on this page, but rather, powered by bravenet at this page :P
site
and here is all of the info on the site, and such things like that. :P isn't it all so interesant? ^^
The Story, In General
Off-Balance is relatively new. I used to have a site, Worn-Away, but after like five years of an on-again-off-again relationship with it, it got old and I left it. Moving on to "Ishuku." After time, that to had too many memories and such to go with it. (And such a dumb name, now that I think about it... meep). Ishuku was hosted at Mysti-Moon.net for a while, until I closed it down for good. Between those major websites, I had a few sub-sites while I was deciding on the main title. Worn-Away was more visitor-orientated, and despite my plans for Ishuku, it was too. Now Off-Balance is really just whatever I want.
Layouts
This is the first one, version Hime. It features someone from a nice shonen-ai anime (i think it's shonen ai XP), with the first word of the name beginning with a K, and the second and last word being Hime (dont remember it *tear*). I got the picture from AtPictures, and edited it with Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro.
you
so you're looking for content for the visitor? aye, well, i'd love to say this is the perfect site for that...but it isn't. in any case, i've put up some cheesey forwards for you to "enjoy". lol. and maybe i'll put up some quiz rsults too. anyways:

july 5, 04 // 4:57 pmugh. my rant sucks. and theres only one. my blog sucks. my poetry and prose sucks. what to do with this site? because it feels like its going to shit. even though i still do love the layout, strangely. (usually i cant stand them, even boring ones like this one, for more than 2 days :P). teehee. so i'm stretching my brain for, what to do, what to do? god i wish i could buy a better host, then i could use PHP, mySQL, etc and make cooler stuff :D
