   Long post, but I'm makin' up for lost time. ^_^'
Hey everybody, how's it going?

Sorry I haven't posted that much lately, but throughout this week everyone else was pretty scarce on The Otaku (with the exception of yesterday, but I couldn't post then anyway. I'll explain why later.).
I would have posted earlier this week, but I don't wanna' post when no one’s around.
But, I'm happy everyone's back now, including the long-awaited ElvesAteMyRamen, who has a totally new site-theme and good-news about her job-hunt. ^_^

Anywho, as for me, things were pretty crappy today.
Why?
Mostly because my mom is doing Spring Cleaning this month. -_-' And this is no simple clean-up. This the fire & brimstone kind of ultra-deep cleaning that takes all day.
It wasn't even my room she was cleaning today, it was actually my brother's.

However, Josh couldn't go on a manga-run today (a friend who went to my old school with Josh now goes to Boarding School, and this is her first and only weekend home to see her friends again), so I was stuck here.
It was too wet and rainy outside to go for a bike-ride or burn more stuff in the chiminia, so I spent today (unsuccessfully) trying to avoid fights with my mom and brother. I swear, there is no end to the stress those to cause for me! My mom just gnaws at me all the time, and my brother delights in pissing me off on purpose and lying to my parents about it.

It was my brother's room getting the clean-up this weekend, but it's me who's gonna' spend all day cleaning next weekend. -_-' Ugh, I'm gonna' hate that.

Anyway, since I was stuck inside anyway, I tried to make the best of it by getting started on MY cleaning so next weekend would be a little more bearable.
I got the space underneath my TV spick & span this morning and got the space under my bed nice and tidy this afternoon.
All that leaves for next week are my closet and my desk, along with my nests and drawers .I only need her help with those because my mom has a funny habit of keeping all her extra crap in my room. The shelves built into my desk are crammed with her old papers, and my closet & dresser are half-full of her & my sister's extra clothes.
*rolls eyes* If she'd get ridda' her stuff then I'd have a place to put my stuff and my room would be less messy! Oy...

In other news, for reasons unknown to law, science or faith, my brother got his Gamecube back.
-_-' Now I'll never get to play RE4…
*sigh*, it wouldn’t be so bad if he weren't basically being rewarded for being a jerk! It's not fair!!!

In more other news, I was up 'till 11:00 last night doing homework...and I'm still not finished! ToT
I spent most of that time drawing a pic we need for English each week that illustrates one of our vocab. words (which I kinda' enjoyed, actually), and doing a project due Monday in Algebra.
We have to cut out pictures in magazines that show circles, ellipses, parabolas & hyperbolas and glue em' onto a piece of poster-board. (If you don't know what a parabola or a hyperbola is, a parabola is basically a hump-shape like a hill, and a hyperbola is sorta' like a hump-shape with an inverted one above it. Imagine it like a vase that's wide at the top & bottom but all thin in the middle.)
Sound easy? Well, it kinda' is, but it's time consuming. @_@
But I did get to watch Friday Night Stand-Up while I did it. ^_^ I had seen em' all, except for a performance by Jimmie Carr (host of a game show on Comedy Central called "Distraction". I'm yet to see the show, but based on the commercials I really want to! >:D).
Heh heh, he had a British accent, which makes it really funny.
He had the random observation-joke after observation-joke style to his act, sort of like a British Mitch Heddberg (anybody else a fan of Heddberg?).

On a bit of good news, I'm doing a picture for Valentine's Day. ^_^
I drew it all in one sitting on Wednesday night this week, and I'm both proud and disappointed with it for a few reasons (I'll explain them some other time).
I'm currently debating weather or not to color it, or even weather or not to edit it before submitting it. I'm buried in homework right now, and I want to have it submitted by V-Day, so I'm not sure if doing the long and boring editing work on MS Paint is really worth it.
Meh, we'll see, won't we? ^_^

This isn't your typical Valentine's pic, by the way.
I'm a nerd, and the pic features me, so there obviously won't be any sweet, romantic stuff going on (I don't know weather to laugh or cry at that last sentence XD). This is more of a humorous pic about the whole idea of Valentine's Day, with a bit of that Logan-kun kind of twist to it, of course.
I may reveal more about it in the next day or so, or just wait 'till Valentine's Day for you to find out what I'm talking about. Either way, please forgive any and all flaws when I finally do submit it. I made a lot of mistakes I want to and know how to fix, but can’t because re-doing it would just make it worse.
I'm sure you'll love it anyway, though. ~_^

Before I go, I have another quick bit of good news:
After over a week, my braces have finally stopped hurting! ^o^ I'm so happy! I ate SOOOOOOOOOOO much today to! Chicken, spaghetti, cookies, the works!
Ah, they feel good in Logan-kun's belly. ^///^

Please be praying for Miyoko-chan's brother (details on her post from yesterday and today), and that he'll start feeling better soon.
Please also pray that Living Doll can get over her cold soon (colds are no fun >_<).
And please pray things cool-down at my house a little to, OK? I'd really appreciate it.

Whoa! I spent nearly an hour typing this post! @_@ Man, I need to get to drawing!

See you tomorrow!
