• This'll be a slight way to check how many of you still read this thing, largely because I know some of you no longer update yet still receive updates. And I never bother to remove any of my old subscriptions.

  So, basically, I've had this layout since I got my xanga. If you didn't know, I greatly dislike change unless something is faulty; thus, I won't change anything, even if it no longer has any use. This is largely the reason some random papers and stuff end up staying stashed places for years on end - being a packrat is a full time job.

  However, I do have another layout which I whipped up entirely on my own which (I think) is quite good. It's a tad bit more descriptive of me in the way it looks.

  Yet, there are a lot of things I like about this one. One, it's the original. I like the contrast of having Eminem as the focus (along with his songs and alias in the rotating words below the picture) and then having Ozzy playing in the background. The Ozzy song also has a history for me. It's one of my favorite songs and my favorite "romantic" song (which, of course, is the type of contradiction I love, considering the singer is Ozzy Osbourne). I also like the blue (and some white) on black. I mean, overall, it's not a bad layout. Plus, it's rather simple, when all's said and done; I like simplicity, to an extent.

  On the other hand, I don't think Em is my second favorite artist anymore. I haven't listened to his stuff in ages. Plus, I haven't changed my profile picture in years. Heh, it's still from when the Band went to San Antonio. And if I keep this layout, I'm not changing it. If I change this layout, I'm not replacing it with a human profile pict.

  So, while I don't want to get rid of this layout, I kind of want to use the other one. Thus, I've decided to let you guys decide. I'll put it to a vote. If I get no more than 3 votes, the election's considered void and no change is made.

  Just comment and tell me whether I should change or not. However, I have two versions of the background for the new layout, so if you vote change, leave a 1 or 2 (1 for the first picture I show after this, or 2 for the second).
