Hey Debra! :D Welcome~
I feel you in the emerging from a hole sentiment. I just returned here last month, and back then I felt like it was a rite of passage on KofK to venture into hangouts XD Kind of like an "I'm commited to being here now" LOL
I'm doing ok today, it's a busier work day (I'm on here to chill between classes >_<) and I'm so so so sleepy...
How're you doing? :D
On the colors topic, I feel like I'm super fickle. I get obsessed with the new colors and forget about the old ones easily

I remember when aqua and lilac and ecru etc came out that was my obsession, now it's pastel pink and powder blue and lemon and amethyst *list goes on*
