God.. What a dull weekend.
Those of you who know me may be wondering why I wasn't on as much as I normally am over the weekend.

The answer to that is simple: I've been working on a friggin' biography report since Thursday night.

About a month ago, our Language Arts teacher gave us a mission: To choose an author, read a book by him or her, make a book report, and then make a huge-ass biography about the said writer.

I ended up doing Tom Clancy along with Ethan, Frankie and another friend of mine known as Frank Cerda. Our book reports went off rather well-- By my standards, at least. When I talk to the class, I speak in a large vocabulary mode, extremely quickly, and half the class starts cracking up before I'm done. This one was no different. ..>_>

And, on Thursday I had Mr. Ethan over to begin the 10-foot-long timeline on Tom Clancy. The major obstacle was finding information. This damn author has so little information about him on the internet and in books that it isn't even funny. We barely got anything done on Thursday- He ended up ogling Misato via my Evangelion manga and DVDs, and we only got the camouflage-ish stuff onto the green paper.

Friday was a little better. I got the two Franks over, and we got most of the information down onto the board. We could have done much more, however, if Frankie and Ethan were not on newgrounds.com the entire time laughing at Goths' heads getting blown up.

Saturday.. Got the board done. Ethan discovered Habbo.com, experienced cyber sex for the first time, and jumped into a "relationship" with the slutty girl from Ontario whom he had "sex" with, way too quickly. It was messed up. The whole thing had a Spongebob thing.. To summarize it.. "ARE YA READY KIDS?! *humps".

When Frankie heard we weren't doing the movie, he just walked out without telling any of us. He has it pretty rough nowadays, and I don't entirely blame him, but it still pissed us all off. We later found out he was getting a Tom Clancy-esque home movie done all by himself, with the assistance of his mother, her boyfriend, and some other people. That was kind of him, in a way.

And.. Ethan stayed here until 10:30 writing down the information for our oral report along with myself. He actually kind of fell asleep for 15 minutes, and I took over. o_O I let him borrow some FLCL manga nad he left.

I thought it was done.. But Frank Cerda unexpectedly came over and we practiced our oral presentation some. He's actually a nice guy-- I've never had a chance to directly talk with him before. We spent an hour on the presentation. The next 4 were all about Soul Calibur II. He totally owns anyone with Yoshimitsu, but I managed to beat him 4 times consecutively with Assassin.

I feel he overstayed his welcome. We didn't even know he was coming over today, and he stayed until 8. It's not his fault, though. It was from a lack of communication. >_> He ate fried chicken that I could've had. That bastard.

Well, the presentation's tomorrow, and I don't feel entirely ready. Frankie and Ethan have 4 periods to memorize their parts flawlessly, without note cards, unless we get to present ours on Tuesday. God, that'll be so awesome if that happens.

I'll update tomorrow.
