Hi brokedownpalace, Merry Christmas to you too, but I can't send you an encrypted message without your public key, and the key ID alone doesn't help unless you've uploaded your key to a key server where I can search for it (not recommended if you want to stay anonymous, unless you upload to a hidden service key server like qtt2yl5jocgrk7nu.onion, but you would have to configure your PGP software to use Tor). You need to publish your public key in a forum post so others can encrypt messages to you (I don't see a public key in your comment history). Take a look at this: http://32yehzkk7jflf6r2.onion/gpg4usb/
