NEW LAYOUT!

[livejournal.com profile] starsouls1013[livejournal.com profile] starsouls1013[livejournal.com profile] starsouls1013

My massive, allconsuming, thud-causing love for tonight's Supernatural episode prompted me to make this change right now. I made the header yesterday, and I'm SO happy with it. It's a shot of Sam from 1x11 (Scarecrow) that I just thought was painfully gorgeous, with the road going into the distance like that. So first I made an icon, and then a matching header because I loved how the icon came out! I did cave and use the font EVERYONE is using, but hey, it's an awesome font.

Also, I'm happy to be back to light colors. The black/red/yellow was intense and sexy, as were the boys orgasming on my header, but now for something bright yet angsty. Perfect combo. I'm so pleased with this one *bounces*

I LOVE SAMMY. *cuddles him*

Please let me know what you think! :D

ETA: I forgot to mention, the words on the header are from a song... I don't know the song, I just googled for "this lonely road" to find some poem or something that would give me more text to put on the header, to expand on the icon. The song is "This Lonely Road" (duh), music and lyrics by Diana Andersen. Found here: http://www.pasofinomusic.com/MystifiedLyrics.cfm I also used these lyrics for the new mood, music, and comment thingies.


This Lonely Road
Music and Lyrics by: Diana Andersen

On this lonely road
I followed my dreams
I've done what I can
But nothing is what it seems
On this lonely road
I have been with you
I have loved
On this lonely road
On this broken land
Where others have been
Where all that I am
Is hardly worth mentioning
On this broken land
I have been with you
I have loved
On this broken land
Fallen, fallen
Fallen, fallen
Like a gentle rain
All my hopes and all my pain
Fallen, fallen
Fallen, fallen
Like a whispered breath
All my times of happiness
Fallen, fallen
Fallen, fallen
Oh

PS. It's really awesome that Ican pop over to your journal and see my old layout :) cause I'm still in love with that one, I just have a new One True Fandom, haha.

ooh, I'm in love! :D It's sooo pretteh. The BDS one was a little too dark/intense for me, but this one is just perfect. I love the colors, the look, and Sam! ♥

Oh darling. That is soooo pretty. :)))

I want to have this layout, too. No, not the banner (but it's beautiful of course :p) but the layout. Whatsitsname. I can't see mine anymore. /random

What I wanted to say: I love it. :*

wow...that's gorgeous.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
:D Thanks darling!! I'm so glad you like it. And I know what you mean about the darkness of the other, I'm sorry ^_^ I loved it but it did get overwhelming after a while. But now, ethereal greens and white and hee. Sam!!♥

Also, it's amazing that I'm still pleased with that icon you're using, as well as this one - i made them ages ago, but I till like how they came out. Usually not true!

Thanks sweetheart :D *huggles*

The layout is called flexible squares. I'd be happy to help you with coding, if you like. And [livejournal.com profile] s2flexisquares is very very helpful :) Layout revamping is fun!

I love your new layout muchly! Ooooh, I can't wait to watch this ep now! And that font is a fave of mine right now too. :)

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Eee, thanks sweetie! It's a really, really fantastic ep, I love it a lotttt. I can't wait til you see it too :D

Hey btw, [livejournal.com profile] firefly_lims?? it's getting so close to the end, and we're both still in! It's getting so nervewracking, LOL. You totally deserve it, but I didn't expect to last this long!

[identity profile] crystal-lily.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Reading your journal just keeps reminiding me I need to get started on Supernatural. :D Lol.


Anyway, new layout is gorgeous! I love the washed out tones and the way you placed the text. :D

[identity profile] jamesinclair.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Its nice. Very wintry. I used the same color in my flog over december. Oh look, you just said hello on msn. Matt Manning? Whats with the same letters? Reminds me of Natalie Newmann. She was more of a nerd than you.

So, yay for the colors. Cold and distant, just like you.*





*Thats if you dont call me sweety.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You TOTALLY do. Omg. I have a link to the first episode, if you want? Actually I'll just post it on my journal for anyone that wants it :)

Thanks love! I really appreciate it :D And hey, lots of credit goes to you because I used that coloring method you taught me, with the green->yellow gradient on colorburn and then light gray-green on overlay. It's so pretty and I use it on almost all my icons now :D You can really see it in this one.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2006-02-08 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh hey, you're right, it is quite wintry - I didn't even think of that. How appropriate! Thanks :)

And I'm not going to call you sweetie. So there.

[identity profile] crystal-lily.livejournal.com 2006-02-09 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yay! That's great, I've never seen anyone actually using that tutorial before. :D I do miss that style. :D

I'm in dire need of a new fandom, and I'm downloading the eps your posted. :D

[identity profile] fragglebo.livejournal.com 2006-02-11 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't expect to last this long either. The last couple of rounds, especially, I've been nervous about checking for the results. I keep thinking ok, next week then? and each time I get through I can't believe it. Congrats to you for getting this far & further yet!! You totally deserve to be there too! ;)

[identity profile] novafairy.livejournal.com 2006-03-05 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks for your offer, honey. :D

I'll probably change my layout to flexible squares. Not, that I want to change the banner and the colors. Just from one layout to the other, first.

And thanks for the comm-link. I'll look at that and when I realise that I'm too silly for that I'll scream for help.

*hugs*
