So, I'm leaving for Ecuador on Friday... and I probably won't get access to a computer for the next month(!)

I'll have so much to write about when I get back, but right now I have so little time and so many things to do. I just wanted to say before I go that I have made some wonderful friends on dA and this site has helped me to keep in touch with old friends too. You know who you are and hopefully you will all read this!

I want you to know that, though I've never met some of you in person and am often too far away to do so, you are so important to me and I am so lucky to have you as my friends.

Recently a lot of people who I once considered my friends have shown their true colours and deserted me. You guys on dA give me hope that there are still people out there who believe I am worthy of being their friend. This may sound hopelessly smooshy but I love you all, and I can only hope that you don't forget me while I'm away for so long. I know for sure that I won't forget any of you.

Thank you all so much, and I'll talk to you in a month!
