Wow! Thank you! Have a great trip! My fiance and I lived apart for two years while he taught English in Japan, so the long distance thing is do-able and Skype helps a lot.
Good call, thanks! I've been on here for almost a year now, but with school, my use has been kinda sporadic and I still am learning the ways of Deviantart. Once I have a bit more breathing room, I think I am going to take a day and get my gallery and profile cleaned up a bit. Again, thanks for the suggestion and the comments, too!
"Women are armed with fans as Men with swords, and sometimes do more execution with them." From the Spectator, 1711. It's about the secret communications women did with fans. With one simple movement of their fan, they could reject a suitor, thus "executing" him by way of a broken heart. The image on the actual fan is of a women from that time period who was accused of actually killing her husband. Not with a fan, but I thought it kinda fit with the theme.
