Narrative:
I was on taxiway kilo and was asked to hold short runway 12/30. I read back hold instructions. I became confused with hold bars for another runway and ended up on runway 30. A plane was on final for runway 30, before the threshold, and was asked by the tower to go around. I cleared the runway as soon as the problem was identified. I knew I had gone too far and was on runway 30 and was proceeding across, when ground discovered what I had done they told me to stop until they realized what I had done. They then had me continue my taxi off the runway. Long beach airport has one hold bar for 12/30 and 16/34 0N taxiway kilo. I was looking for the 12/30 hold after I had seen the 16/34. I was doing night currency work, this occurred after my last landing on my way back to tie down.
