Translation of OP (typos as per the original):

[spoiler]Gaah, I’m all hyper and jiterry right now… It’s really annoying, but it’s certainly better than having a solid ball of stress in your body. I think they’re related, anyway. Has anyone else noticed that effect? That when some sort of stressor is released, you feel very active? Well, whatever. God, I wish I could got to bed!

On an unrelated note, I’m really starting to appreciate the hard-hitting modding around here.

After the whole fallout from the _new pit rules_ thing, I’ve been exploring some message boards  
with more lax moderating – and it was really pretty disgusting. I guess I’m just a prude at heart, but it’s good to be among polite folk again.

P.S. Dvorack sucks! I am sooo glad I switched back to Querty.[/spoiler]

_John has a long moustache_.

The OP said code, not cipher.
