   Glad That's Over!
Hey everybody. How are you all today?

WHEW!!!! Today was a killer! @_@"
In case you're yet unaware, I had 'quarterlies' this week. Basically, quarterlies are like a mini-exam given at the end of 1st and 3rd quarter (as opposed to the real, hard exams give at the end of 2nd and 4th quarter).
Today was my hardest day. I had my Principles of Business quarterly (100 questions, but it's a ^@#$!ing easy class) and my Algebra II quarterly. That was the hard one. I unfortunately have no idea how I did. But, I did my best, and I'll hope for the best.
On top of that, I had a normal test in Civics today (meaning, it was one of Mr. Dickerson's trade-mark killer-tests. X_x" ). I'm really worried about that one. I studied hard, but I retained little of the info when it came to actually taking the test. -_-"
That's probably because I was studying for Algebra and Civics on the same night, so I didn't retain much of either.
Oh well, all that's left to do is pray....

On Tuesday I had my Spanish and Chemistry tests, which were a challenge but were easier then I thought. It's a damn good thing to, because I totally forgot to study for them on Monday night! @o@ (I never write down "study" in my agenda, so Monday night I thought I had nothing to do!)
Monday I had my Civics & Sci. Vis. tests.
Mr. D. had told us we wouldn't have a quarterly in his class, but come Monday morning, he was wrong. O_o" Don't worry, though. He said he'd find some way to count it to help our grades, since he didn't like the choice of questions on the test (quarterlies are put together by the state, not the teachers for some reason, so they often don't totally fit the criteria of the class. Thus why Mr. D. didn't slam us with it. ^_^" ).
The Sci. Vis. test was a breeze by the way, 'cause like I keep saying, it's a total blow-off class.

So, in case you haven't guessed by now, that's why I haven't been around on The Otaku lately.
But, I have been reading your posts, just like a good little exorcist should.
To prove it, I'd like to announce that Erin-chan is back from Anime North and has a synopsis on her site (it should be on the bottom). They had some pretty good cosplayers there. One that I thought was particularly cool was this guy dressed as Alucard (from Hellsing, for those non-vampire/vampire hunters out there):

Not a perfect cosplay, but considering how utterly crappy many cosplayers & their costumes can be, I'd say this guy is actually pretty good. He actually looks fairly like the character he's cosplaying, so he stands out compared to all the ugly amateurs.

Anyway, on a side note to Karen-san and Erin-chan, I'll be getting to your sites soon.
I was taking Living Doll's post last night, but my internet cut-out before I could finish my comment (grrrrrrrr....). On op of that, my beloved Miyoko-chan posted the same quiz on her site today.
As you know, I put a lot of detail into my answers when I take a quiz, so if you're willing to be patient I can assure you I'll fill them out, OK? ^_^

Well, if there's an up-side to all the tests I had to take today, it's that tomorrow's my last day before Spring Break!
^o^ A whole week off from school to draw and spend time on The Otaku!!!!! =D
Eeeeeh, this is gonna' be awesome!

I'll and this post with a pic I think you'll enjoy.....
You know, I think it's time I do something for the fangirls. Lord knows you're willing to do a lot (and have done a lot) for us fanboys, so I think it's time I pay you back.
I don't mind fangirl-oriented artwork as long as it displays something that's appropriate, healthy and wholesome. There's nothing wrong with drooling over an anime guy or two.
Josh and I are major fans of Faye Valentine (*drool*), and if you all are willing to abide that, we're willing to abide you doing the same thing with vice-versa sexes.
So, I'll return the favor to the fangirl community:


The term the artist (who goes by "ghostfire", by the way) used to describe this kind of artwork is "Ed-sploitation". XD I find that a very clever and amusing term for the blatant exploitation of the ever popular Ed for fangirl entertainment.
I think Erin-chan described this kind of art perfectly in her reaction to a quiz she took: "Mmmmmm....fangirly". XD
I just hope Josh or one of my other buds doesn't happen to see this post and get any funny ideas about me. O_o" Obviously, I did this for the fangirls, not for me.

OK everybody, I'll see you tomorrow!
