Oh, cool! Someone else tried to translate also, but it's nice another person tackling it. I think her translations are more or less almost the same as yours. Either way though, thanks!

Also, you're welcome!

Haha, I'm not sure about my translation; that's why I was glad to have read yours! I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner.
