Been gone, need to be caught up.

[Galykia]

I have been gone since I started college and my job back in the summer. So what has happened in the past 7 months, in term of the main story?

Also I see a lot has changed with the user interface and such, like the smilies.
:bitchez <----- What? Was this an essential addition? what is it supposed to be? I am so confused.
