Extreeeeemely off topic, but, after a long time of being just, well, gone, I wanted to say hello again to everyone here!

My absence was caused by quite a few things, and for those who were maybe curious (even though probably nobody was) as to where I went and why, I'll sum it up. School has really ramped up, and I find myself having a lo tot balance between national art honor society, NJROTC drill practices and meets, my ecology enrichment club, and the increased amount of schoolwork. Additionally, it has been a very rough mental and emotional period for me (for reasons I will not list due to personal privacy) and it's left me feeling extremely unmotivated and nervous to do anything, even something as simple as coming back onto the forums.

I very much hope to become as active as I once was, and can't wait to get to reading and hearing from all of you about the hobby that connects us.

Toodles! (that is until somebody, if anyone, replies lol)
