  Hey everybody. How are you doing today?

I'm in an unusually good mood today, so here we go!

My test actually went OK today, as far as I know. ^w^
Don't get me wrong, it was tough, but it was nothing to sh** yourself over. I'm glad to have it out of the way, anyway.
The prompt was "the positive & negative effects of the 'no-pass, no-play' system" (the "no-pass, no-play" system is the policy that most schools have in regards to that students must be passing all core-classes in order to participate in extracurricular activities, such as drama, chess and especially sports).
I'm afraid I kinda' BS'd my examples, though. ^^; I really couldn't think of anything in particular to support weather the system was good or bad. My examples were: It gives some students a drive to better in school, but also closes learning opportunities for many others. In addition, it also may cause some students to give up completely (that last example is particularly weak in my opinion --; ).

I'm surprised I had such a good day, especially with how crappy I felt when I woke up.
You remember how I mentioned I felt really sick yesterday? Well, I was even sicker this morning!
T_T I felt horrible!
I had a headache, a runny-nose (which I still have), a sore-throat, a cough (I still have that to) and I had gotten no sleep! Ugh! I felt utterly crappy! And on my test-day! >_<
But I guess that's OK, 'cause aside from that runny-nose and cough, most of it's gone. I took a buncha' Advil & Cough-Drops this morning, so I'm feeling a lot better! =^^=

Ah well, I did OK anyway, and I'm happy it ain't hangin' over my head anymore! ^^

The best thing about today by far was that since the first 2 and 1/2 hours of the day were taken-up by the test, every one of my 4 classes today was just an hour long rather then an hour and 1/2.
Man, was that ever a relief!!! b^_^ Hour-long classes are so much more manageable than the whole hour and 1/2 classes we normally have. The day went by so quickly!

By the way, St. Patrick's Day is coming up, so I wanna' ask you guys something.
Which would you rather have for St. Patty's Day? :

-A video from our favorite Irish-grown Celtic/Heavy Metal band; Flogging Molly,
Or,
-A video by everyone's favorite white-rapper with an emphasis on his Irish roots; House of Pain?

Either would be fine with me. I want to know what you guys think. ^_^

Here's a piece of art from a young Japanese girl who goes by "TC-chan".
You're all familiar with Dante (Don-tay) & Virgil from Devil May Cry 3 (released in May of '05 for the PS2, and one of the best games of the year), correct?
Well, if you are, I'm sure you'll enjoy this:


It's Dante' and Virgil as kittens!
*ahem*, sorry, I shouldn't be so excited about that. Anyway, that's Dante in red and Virgil in Blue. Dante's a white kitten, and Virgil’s a black kitten.

Dante & Virgil are the powerful half-demon sons of the redeemed Arch-demon; Sparda. ("redeemed" means he's a demon that's rejected the kingdom of Satan & his minions, like Chrono from Chrono Crusade)
Dante is the younger brother and the good guy (he's a demon-slayer like me! :D ). Virgil is the older brother and the evil one (he's on a mission to control humanity and usurp the throne of Hell).
Naturally, Dante & Virgil are bitter rivals and mortal(?) enemies, but the artist wanted to portray them in a friendly, brotherly way instead. ^_^

What impresses me most about this pic is that the artist drew Dante & Virgil in a way that's not only cute and loving in a brotherly way, but also doesn't insinuate that they're some gay, incestuous couple (I swear, if I have to look at one more sick picture of Dante fu**ing Virgil in the a**, I'm gonna' have a fit!). She just made them look brotherly and friendly, rather then making something gross and perverse (that's become a rarity in anime-art on the web).

As you can see at the top, Dante's giving Virgil one of those, what are they called? A "Love-bite"?
I especially like the parts where Dante & Virgil are getting picked up by people looking for new kittens (presumably at a pet-shop or something). I love Dante's "(Jackpot!) Nya, pick me!".
And naturally, Virgil isn't happy about getting picked up. XD

Pretty cute, neh?
More from this great artist to come, by the way.

OK guys, I'll see you tomorrow! I'm off to visit your sites!
Feel free to hug the Dante and Virgil-kitties on your way out! ^_^
