I do feel that I've been in hiding without even realizing it... Haha. I sometimes go through these phases where I don't see or even contact anyone for a while so... I've been around... you just have to remind me that I am once in a while. Haha.
But, actually, when you left me that first message in January it was during a time that I wasn't going on DeviantART at all because it was giving me bad viruses. It seems to have stopped, though.
