So...for anyone who randomly comes across this - I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED! 

(and no, I don't mean one of those codes or coupons for random prizes that no one ever wins...

...tho that would be kind of cool too, I guess...) 

Anyways, it seems I might have a new laptop soon depending on how this test run goes and, while I won't have my saved files from the crashed one anytime soon, I will have some inspiration after being depressed for the last couple of weeks over not having an outlet for my random bursts of emotion or itches of creativity. 

So, that said, yay! (^_^) 

(Sorry, just super happy so I thought I would share. 

Okay now, carry on with your lives, normal peoples of the universe. Nothing else to see here...)
