The idea of HeartlessAdrenaline evolved when I started web design way back in 2004. The name and actual spark of this specific domain came to me in autumn 2008. I was taking a walk, and I kept thinking of the word 'heartless.' Somehow, I worked my way to the word 'adrenaline' and at some point, I put the two together and got 'Heartless Adrenaline.' It's really the site name just because I like it, but it originally referred to stealing and murder - heartless things people do for the adrenaline.
The domain was purchased on 25th December 2009 from GoDaddy as a Christmas present for myself
and was worked on through my host AwardSpace until it opened on 16th January 2010.
Today, it is dedicated to giving graphics, tutorials, layouts, etc. to others while helping me learn more about web design and overcome
bordeom.

My History
I first got into web design when I signed up for the site Neopets as lillyemma in 2004. I was addicted and immediately, I wanted all of my pages to be pretty, so I started experimenting with HTML and CSS. My friend on there told me about Freewebs (now just Webs), so I created my first account there on 24 November 2004 to be a website to correspond with whatever guild I had (my website name is 'lillyemma' but I don't use that account anymore). From that point, I pretty much moved from NeoPets to web design, and created multiple websites. I basically became a 5th-grade webdesigner.
In May 2006, I created an all-HTML website, LillyC. Due to a poseur, I dropped that site until October 2006, when I opened it again for a new resource site! I spent three years on that site, despite its rather embarassing name and *blushes* bad reputation. (I have to say that I apologise for myself, my behaviour, bad graphics and HTML skills that I had when I was younger.) I also had another HTML blog site, MyBloodyCorpse, but that's now my directory, Miss Murder. If you have a website, you should sign up and get a free link!
In late 2008 and through 2009, I continued on LillyC but also planned this website. In January 2009, I designed my original site 'lillyemma' as HeartlessAdrenaline, a photography site. It was too much like DeviantArt and my knowledge of PHP wasn't good enough, so I dropped it. Then, in July, I tried the portfolio approach - it wasn't the same without an actual domain name, which I thought I was not allowed to get. I never told anyone about the site.
So when Christmas 2009 came around, I nervously asked my dad for a domain. To my surprise, he just said 'okay.' So, I bought the domain and this site was finally open! I'm still learning, and to this day from the time HA opened, I've learnt a lot about websites and coding. I hope to improve, and my goal is that one day, HeartlessAdrenaline will be a popular website with frequent visitors.
Thank you to all who visit & use my website! It really means a lot to me :).
