That is beyond awesome and cool!!!

I would love to squee about it on my LJ; would you mind opening this post to the public? (If not, no worries, though I really think this deserves sharing wide and far.) ♥

[pennfana]

Done! :) Actually, I hadn't even realized that I'd locked this post; it must have been by force of habit, since I f-lock most of my posts here these days.

[pennfana]

In that case, I'm glad that you love it! :D

This was adorable, and I must admit I sang it to myself with a faux Irish accent the whole way through. :)

Thanks. :D It does kind of have that flavour to it, doesn't it? :)
