Hey all!  I'm so so happy with all the reviews I got for the second chapter.  Do ya'll even realize how much you rock?!  *grins*  Anywayz, I thought I owed you an explanation for the large amount of down time since my last update.  Putting it quite simply, my computer is the devil.  Seriously.  About three and a half weeks ago, it just went and ate my desktop.  My cursor was fully functional, and I still had my background picture but no actual desktop.  No Start bar, no nothing.  It sucked.  And a fairly in-depth scan of my comp revealed no errors or viruses.  So what in the world happened?  No idea.  But I'm back now, so it's all good.

And I'm going to take this opportunity to thank all my beautiful reviewers:  Melimoe, Fireangle, Fanny chan, leia3000 (oh. my. word.  I didn't realize until just now that you're actually in my little notebook I keep to track all my favorite stories and authors.  I love your stories!!), scholcomp1, aspara, Hannya (You too!  ACK!  I love you people!), Cliffe, Nabiki, Fate's Child, avalon princess, Phoenix353, Rings of Saturn, Ivy (Wow.  I believe I can officially say your review is the most enthusiastic I've ever gotten.  Thank you!!  I was on a review-high for days after getting it.), Momo, Random Rapberries, I live with some aliens in Hawaii (I love your name!  Can I visit sometime? *smiles* I've always wanted to go to Hawaii…), Fyre eye, Sheron, Skyeblade, callas-and-ivy, and Suspect (I have bad grammar?  Where?  Tell me, and I'll kill it a horrible death.  Believe me, this has been bugging me since I got your review.)

Well, I think that's it for now.  My next four chapters, which are written completely, are off with my beta right now.  Hopefully I'll have them up tomorrow for ya'll.  In the meantime, why don't you go check out my other stories (hint hint). *laughs*  Thanx, and luv ya'll muchly!
