A Dizzy Twister Dance

Considering the way domains pop up and then disappear these days, Alexiel.net is fairly old. I've had this domain for over seven years now and its history dates back even further. It started as a Sailormoon collective called "Sailormoon Lullaby". As the Sailormoon sites begain to die off one by one and new series sites began to emmerge, the name was changed to simply "Lullaby". The name came from a song by Ani DiFranco in which she sings, "I think I'm gonna cry/ I don't know why./ Think I'm gonna sing myself / a lullaby./ Feel free to listen." The idea was that the sites were little things I created primarily to amuse myself. In keeping with this theme, most of my sites, even to this day, are named after songs. Lullaby was spread over the free servers for a while until some people offered to host different bits. In the end they all closed their domains and I got a domain of my own.

Alexiel.net was purchased in 2002 from Bargain Name. Originally it was hosted on my own server, but that was killed in October of 2002. In January of 2003, Host Radius began hosting A.net and, even though I left for a while for a far worse host, I went back and was very happy for a long time. Then I had issues with my autopay and my domain went down and I couldn't recover it. Now, I am hosted by Ipage.com which seems to be a relativly good host.

Alexiel, an angel from Angel Sanctuary by Kaori Yuki, is the organic angel and twin sister to Rosiel, the inorganic angel. She rebelled against heaven, so her body and soul were separated--her body locked away and her soul doomed to reincarnate and always die a violent death. She is beautiful, proud, and strong.
