I win at layouts!

I got a randomized line of text to show up between my journal title and info link! I can provide the code I used, plus the version that does this with images, if anyone wants it.

It only took me like two hours of fighting tweaking the code for random background images. Plus twenty minutes of typing 34 lyrics to be randomized.

As far as lyrics suitable for journal subtitles, Fall Out Boy beats My Chemical Romance - but there are still a lot of other bands' stuff to go through.

Happy birthday to memphis86 and sinsense!

I am supposed to be writing another poem for class, right? And instead I sat down and wrote lyrics. A full, complete song. Needs cleaning up like whoa and it'll still be ridiculous, but whatever. And there are other songs rattling around in my head. Other complete songs, way more than two clever lines and a title.

Apparently this is what I do when I get into a band or bands more intensely than usual. I wrote a lot of shitty lyrics when I was sixteen; over the summer I copied the least shitty parts into my journal so I could raid them for Stuff. And now I'm writing them from the ground up again.

Probably the wankiest, most self-indulgent, least reasonable kind of writing that happens to me. It's fun though.

Oh man, that looks awesome! I wonder if we can do that for the comm. With like, lines from crack!bunnies.

At least some kind of writing is happening to you. Think of all the people who haven't got any! THINK OF THE STARVED FOR WRITING KIDS IN LIKE, UPSTATE NEW YORK OR SOMETHING, SOFIA.

As long as you can do a custom layer for the community, I can probably figure out how to get it to work with whatever layout.

Haha, I'm not so much complaining as O_o ing,

I put up some directions and the code I used. Let me know if you have problems with them.

Thanks for the birthday wishes honey!

I'd love to see the code if you don't mind sharing it. xx

There you go. I'm not sure how much sense I made, so poke me if my directions suck.
