Congrats! I hope it goes well for you. No need to be nervous. I'm sure your date is a mere mortal being like the rest of us... Right? If not then please disregard my advice and resume your panic :P

I may be an edgy atheist, but I know better than to try and flirt with Satan’s daughter. :p So unless she’s in disguise, definitely mortal.

If I'm being honest, I only know the song because it was on a Richard Simmons workout video on VHS tape that my mom occasionally used when I was a kid.

Yup, they totally are! It's a combination of Powerpoint (you can export the animations to video), followed by GIF conversion, and compressing and resizing enough just to fit within the < 50 kB size, and the 103 x 75, or something along that line.

And great to see you again, my friend! Hope you are doing well. ^^
