Is it true? IT IS! I suffered turmoils and torture and yet I prevailed! I didn't falter even in face of great adversaries and dangers. In fact, I emerged from them changed and, dare I say it, changed for the better.
Therefore, I humbly accept your kind gratulations with cheers and a gay demeanor. I did enjoy this day and shall continue the next ones which shall contain a celebration which sadly couldn't fit into the plans of my beloved ones on this bright day. However, this delay won't sadden me but rather fill me with anticipation.
And now I had my fill of talking like a pompous ass and I'll just say:
Thanks, Nick. 8D
