   Long post, but I promise you'll be entertained. X)
Ugh....hey everybody.

Got back from church just a while ago.
I was up pretty late last night, so I was less than a happy camper when it came to getting up for church (mostly because my family members aren't exactly the funnest people to go to church with). But, the service was pretty cool. It wasn't as long as I expected it would be, but that's kinda' refreshing as far as church sermons go (not that I mind spending an hour and a half/two hours at church, heavens no, it's just good that they don't bore you to death at my church).
They have some awesome musicians at my church. Keep in mind that's coming from a Metallica/Iron Maiden/Yngwie Malmsteen/Symphony X-junkie like me. ~_^ If they can impress me with church music, then they must be good.
It was also a pretty good sermon, too (I love our pastor!).

But what made it rough for me was that I....had a bit of rumblin' going on where your food gets digested. Yeah....my intestines weren't happy with me this morning. >///<
My stomach was acting up on Thursday, too. (If you want to skip this anecdote and read it some other time, go ahead and skip down ‘till you see the “******” marks.)
We were taking a "pop-test" In Mr. Dickerson's class (yes, a "pop-test". Mr. D has always got a surprise for us :p ), and I was riding wave after wave of my intestines knotting-up and choking my other organs while trying to take a test. I asked to go to the bathroom, and I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on what happened next. Yeah, you remember what happened to Naruto in vol. 1 where he was pretending to be Sasuke? Yeah, that was what happened to me....
>///<" I know that's probably too much information for you, but you're all mature enough to understand, right? I'm sure you all have had to deal with such a thing at one point or another.
Anyway, funny story to go along with that:
After I had come back and finished my test, I went to the bathroom again between classes (Shut up! I had to go again! It's not like it has never happened to you!). But guess what happened while I was in the stall: The fire alarm rang.
XD Yep, and it was a real situation too, not a drill. X) Poor unlucky me.
Naturally, I finished up as quickly as possible, and flew out of that bathroom. But, believe it or not, I took the time to wash my hands before doing so. XD If you knew me in real life, one of the things that really gets on my nerves is when people use that bathroom and don't wash their hands, and then proceed to use your pencils, books, door-knobs, game-controllers, etc. (It's disgusting!!! I HATE it when people do that! XP ). So, even when under threat of fire, I still take the time for hygiene. X)
I hope you all enjoyed this little anecdote of mine. XD

Ugh, on a more serious note, I'm thinking that my stomach-problems and lack of sleep may be in part due to what's going on here on The Otaku (seriously, it's that stressful).
You remember that person I mentioned yesterday? Yeah, well, he's/she's completely oblivious. ><"
*sigh*, I just don't know what's wrong with people here. It's like they have no sense of decency or right & wrong. They just accept anything and everything as "OK" when they need to stand up for what's right.
I've been looking at reactions from the various people here, and they just don't seem to care. And I'm sitting there thinking, "WHAT THE HELL!?!? You fricken' SHOULD care! This isn't 'OK'! This isn't right!".
But, of course, nobody cares what I have to say, mainly because of 2 factors about myself that make people go "Well, of course he'd say that...".
*sigh*, it's no fun having the majority of people (most of which are idiots, but we all know that doesn't matter) be for something you know isn't right, and thus blow the crap out of you for your opinion (I'm sure you all can relate). I think that may be why so many people who share my opinion won't speak up about it.
So, basically, I'm screwed. -_-'

Ah well, whatever. If things spontaneously combust here on The Otaku it's unavoidable. If I end up having to blow some fire in a few friends' faces, so be it.

On a happier note, I hope you all are enjoying my site's new music.
Though I probably should have told you about it far earlier, Josh has introduced me to several new artists whose work I'm really enjoying, 2 artists mainly.
As you probably guessed, one of them is Yngwie Malmsteen (pronounced "Ing-way"). As you guessed, he's also foreign, but he speaks (and sings in) English. Yngwie is a "Neo-Classical Guitarist", meaning the way he rights is similar to the way composers like Beethoven and Bach wrote, only for guitar instead of a symphony.
According to Josh, Yngwie is one of the only guitarists in the world to use something called "The Ferettian Scale", which is basically a much more complicated style of writing music (I have no idea what the more common style of writing is called, nor am I completely sure I got the name right. I know nothing about music theory, unlike Josh.)
Anyway, Yngwie's first song off of the "Odyssey" album; "Rising Force", is up at the top of my page for your listening pleasure. Please give it a try, if you can (I have it on "Auto-Play, which seemed to work better than manual mode for some reason, so hopefully it'll function properly for most of you).

Here's a picture of my main-man Yngwie:

I know it's hard, but I'm going to have to ask you ladies to keep your carnal desires in check.
XD Heh heh, just kidden'. X)
Expect to see/hear more from Yngwie in the near future.

Before I leave, I'd like to ask you all to pray for ElvesAteMyRamen.
She's already dealing with her wrist and might be going into surgery soon, but on top of that her cat, Furball, died this week.
Elvzy could use our support, and as I said, prayer is also greatly appreciated.

Here's some art for you all...

I'm sure many of you girls out there would love to get this for your birthday, by which I mean two cute little chibi-ninjas. X)

And since it's Easter today, I guess I'll post this....
