I changed all my icons (except for one), and changed my layout. That took some time.

I wanted to use something else than flexible boxes, for once, but it's the only style I could find that allow to fiddle with colours while keeping all the subcategories I want to have like tags and free text :(

Anyone know have a good link for how to put a picture header with this kind of style?
ETA: now have a header, thanks to the awesome [livejournal.com profile] dizilla

I enjoy flexisquares whenever I do my own custom layout. Headers are quite easy, but I'm pants at explaining so here's where I think I first learned how to do it:

The comm overall is rather helpful in customizing flexisquares to how you want it. ^_^

I'm useless at customising LJ. But like your new layout, and I like your color scheme. So good job so far. /endbeinguseless

Wow, beautiful header. And beautiful poem. I totally agree that periodic redecorating is good - I just wish my web designing talent would finally emerge from some dark corner of my brain so I could do it too. :-)

Nice new layout!

Also, I must mention my approval of your Xelloss icon. And your Rue/Mytho icon. And the Utena icons (oh, how I love creepy!Anthy...). ♥ The Subaru icon is cute too.

Pretty! I love your new icons, especially the Persepolis one and the Utena ones and your Clamp icons (I get the Tokyo Babylon icons now :D), and haha, I have that Erasmus book quote in my profile, it's very fitting :D

Nah, from a Japanese manga, Hyakkikou Shou by Ima Ichiko.

The poem is the first poem I ever read by Verlaine, and the one that made me fall in love with his poetry :)

Bah, I have no webdesign skills, just playing with colours and putting the head following the indications that dizilla linked to.

Oh, have you recently read TB? What did you think of it?

Oooh I didn't even know it was by Erasmus, cool! and yes it is XD

We had the Book festival in the city this week and they have a large stand with manga for really low prices (like 1,95 instead of around 10 euros) so when I saw TB 1, 2 and 3 I did not hesitate. But I'm already done and I don't have 4-7, woe :(

I liked it! I thought the art was a bit rough compared to CLAMP's newer art but the Sumeragi twins are hella cute and awesome. And I get what you said about the similarities with XXXholic. And LOL, Seishirou, he's a disaster waiting to happen, I know, but I want to seeee.

(Also, I have this unexplainable love for Subaru's hat.)

I have all of tb in scanlations, not great quality but might be better than nothing if you want.

Isn't Hokuto awesome :) I think her an Yuuko are my favourite female CLAMP characters!

And yeah, Seishirou is... quite something. I do love how dorkish he is in TB, and that speech in the story Call, about normal people, is what made me fall in love with the manga.

I read it a very, very, very long time ago, first CLAMP manga I read. At the time I hated it. But my memory being so fuzzy, I can't really say why or if my opinion would change now. In fact it's one my to-read list to check if I still feel the same (I have scanlations too ^_^)

Please, yes, I'd love that! :D (and if you have x/1999 I wouldn't mind either >.>)

LOL, I love her hysterical laughter and how she's obviously the elder sister and kickass. (And I love her dynamic with Subaru, aww.)

Yes, he's such a dork XD Hee, that's where he starts to show that he might not be so nice after all, I loved that.
