Right, Hi there!! Long time no hear from me, I know. But i needed to take a break from tumblr, mostly because my laptop broke & RL was getting to me. However, I am back & ready to jump into some action.  However, before i begin doing icon requests again, I would like to play around with my blog; you know, do maintenance & actually remember how to do PS (gosh couple months away you forget everything)!  Meanwhile, how is everyone? Getting along well? Anything new that I should know about? if not... then just HI!
