Yes! Hello! It's been a while, hasn't it? I bet you thought I was dead. Well, I still live. :) I bet you're happy about that.

For those of you who don't know me, I'm called Gallow. I enjoy reading, writing, doodling, listening to music, and stalking fictional characters. I promise I won't stalk YOU. You're not interesting enough.

AAAANYWWAAAAYYY! Let's cut to the chase, shall we?
