Well, I did a set. Keep in mind I only have MSPaint and Adobe PhotoDeluxe, so it kinda sucks...

If you consider Green Day "emo music", then I did :-P

The fact that I chose this topic was an inside joke-- we were talking the other day, and I'm a Green Day maniac and she dosen't like them at all, so of course I HAD to use the Green Day-themed idea :P

Haha :P

I love the image you used, thanks for the set, Robin. :)

I'm beating WIS to it, and making a House set.

So I assume we're to take lyrics from the "Songs" category and using them as subtexts, right?

This image is from the cover of one of my Buffy comic books.

Looking excellent, Stampsyne. :)

Is that comic book "Hush" themed, perhaps?
