Happy to be typing again,
-ManlyDerp, Out!

Hi. Long time no see. Slowly but surely I'm getting to a point where I have time to write again, so expect some things in the future... a lot of things.

Is this happening to anypony else?! For now, I'm going to keep fiddling around with it until everything's a-ok, but still...*shutter*
