CreateBlog hates me and never wants to accept my layouts. So I'm going to post some Live Journal layouts I've made here. Lyrics are from "Beg" by Evans Blue. The background on the
image is a picture I tried to take at a 30 Seconds to Mars concert. Photography isn't really a career option for me. This is also the layout on my journal right now. But you could probably already tell that.
