In which I vent my frustration about the lame assortment of free blog templates on the web.

I do not want a emo-inspired trendy pattern of nautical stars or bleeding hearts. I do not want something that I can only describe as "vector vomit" invading every square inch of my blog with its random tree silhouettes, sparrows, hot air balloons and creepy shadow couples. I do not want a template with a theme for my blog, because that insinuates that any of this nonsense I write has a logical direction, and that just isn't going to be the case-- any of you who have known me for more than a minute know better than that. I just want something interesting, something clean, something I can edit myself and make personal without having to take a class on html, something that isn't trendy or common or easily confused for a corporate website.

Free templates suck. I thought things might have gotten better since I used to troll the interwebs for free MySpace templates, but alas, I should have known so much better. I finally settled on this for two reasons; 1) It wasn't completely obnoxious, and 2) It matched my Firefox skin.

I remain on the hunt...
