...it's sorta obvious what's gonna be here. Im not friends with anyone Im linking here, I just liked the way their sites looked. This will be updated sporadically, whenever I feel like it. Any errors in the images (sizing, not showing up, etc.) are on me, and while I set about fixing them I advise you to check out each link anyway.

Thank god I finally have somwehere to share it.
