(Mis)Adventures of The Trendy Little Geek

Before we start- a few housekeeping things! So, True Colors. It's coming, slowly. We got the notification that some of our shipment is on the way earlier this morning! We expect it will get to us early next week, and we will cut what orders we can from what we're getting.
