And so it begins, once again.

[Azrani]

Oo, boy, I say to myself. I've been feeling the magical pull of the Orchard again, and I know exactly what it means.

Some of you may remember me as Alimira, though that was around 3 years ago. I remember a lot of you guys, but I did first join the Orchard in 1999. Needless to say, I found myself wrapped up in other things and so I sort of vanished. Twice. XD Life happens, though. Now I'm in college and I'm aching to feel the satisfaction and delight of recieving Paints and others, as well as adopting out my own species.

However, I'm a bit apprehensive as to how much time I can devote. This is my freshmen year as an art student, and I don't know how much homework will be thrown at me. Yet I know that some of you oldtimers are probably in the same situation, which means I can do it too, right?

Whoops, I forgot to even really introduce myself. Though I went by Alimira three years ago, I am now known as (for good) Azrani. Or Az, if you prefer. I doubt I'll bring back any of my old adoption agencies, though Savyre Unicorns may have a chance. Maybe.

Anyhoo, my website is www.bedazzledfixations.com and I have a regularly updated deviantART gallery at xdragonflyx.deviantart.com

So yes. Here I am.

*waves* I wouldn't know you from way back when, but hello anyway ^^. I'm Tigs, and I've been floating about and adopting for about 6 or 7 years, but only joined the Orchard like... yesterday X3.

[Skysong]

Hey, welcome back ^_^ I remember you.. kinda..

[IvySpring]

I've only been here for.. some amount of months ;D But hi!!! I'm IvySpring.. welcome back!

[Stormelle]

Hello, I don;t know you so you probly don't know me. However you may know my older sister Pega. I'm her little sister. ^-^

[axis]

Hi ^.^ Nice to meet you, hope you aren't too overwhelmed by all the new faces!

[Azrani]

Tigs: Well welcome to the Orchard to you too, then! ^^

Skysong: -Grins.- Glad I'm remembered, if only in the slightest bit. I kick myself to think that if I didn't let myself vanish, I'd have around 5 years of Orchard memories by now.

IvySpring: Thanks! ^^

Stormie: Y'know, I think I remember seeing your name a bit. But I certainly remember Pega.

Axis: Nice to meet you too! There are definitely new faces, but I still see some old ones, too.

A few names of the top of my head that I haven't seen are BlueMist, Darkhorse, and Adlana, though. They still around?

[Skysong]

I haven't seen Blue Mist around the Orchard for a while, but I keep up with her on LiveJournal ^_^

Darkhorse dropped by a while ago, but I don't believe she's into the cyberadoption thing anymore.

And I have no idea what happened to Adlana ; I haven't seen her for a long time.

[Peggins]

*gasps* I'm certainly remembered? *sobs for joy* :') As are you, Alimira Azrani! <3 Welcome back!

[Thalron]

I remember you! Even though I can't remember if I ever talked to you >.>;

Welcome back anyways though XD

[Azrani]

Pega: of course! I think I remember when you first joined, even, but I could be wrong. And thanks! ^^

Thalron: Yep, I remember you, too. You had the Tsumes, right?

[Thalron]

If by had you mean hoarded, then yes. XD;
My job consisted of forcing people to RP them with me but Chaoswing made them.

[Azrani]

Thalron: Oh, that's right! -Grins.-

[Sith Lord FP]

[Xenon]
