[a note about my ratings 15/01/10 i didn't mean to flake on any of the swaps. i do apologise for any inconvenience i've caused. Everything fell apart for me at that point of time, my friends abandoned me and i really didn't have the time to do anything other than work and family. BUT! now i'm back. and i don't want to make the same mistakes, so i will try to do my best to send the swaps out on time, i'll understand if you want to ban me from a swap but please let me know why. thanks! i hope we'll all have a great time on swapbot!]
