*cough cough, wheeze*
..Blah.

Fatigue and sickness have kept me from being online much in the past few days. I really have missed a lot, I suppose, and my MyOtaku has gone back down to 90.

Or so says my mO homepage. According to the member list, I'm still 88. But oh well, I'll devise some horrid scheme to bring me up to at least 75. Perhaps I should make "Uncle Sennen's sick-ass Hentai Gallery". That may work.

Anyhoo, Yearbook Club is being evil right now. We're a week behind our most recent deadline, and we're in such a rush to get pages done this thing is coming out so poorly. There's no identifiable theme, the cover sucks, and the font on almost every page (that I haven't blessed with my amazing font-choosing skills based upon random selection), and the thing's being so inconsistent. The program sucks. Paint Shop Pro 8 has a better font selection system than Adobe PageWizard, for god's sake, and it isn't $300.

Anyway, I've been trying to make a better cover tonight. I've been on the computer for 3 hours now, I have barely any of it done because PSP8's being a pain in the rear, and my mom's going to bite my head off for hearing that I haven't even touched my homework. Oh, well. Our yearbook can rot in hell, as long as I get a free copy of this crap.

And, hm, what else..? Oh, yeah. We're taking a Drug Education course in PE this month, involuntarily, that's supposed to teach us to not do drugs.

Now, today we learned about inhalants. Apparently, it's the most popular drug among teens, because it's so easy to get. All you need is some bathroom cleaner or some white-out or anything else that smells funny, and smell it in a closed environment. To fill a bag with material than smell it is popular, but even moreso is to coat a rag or tissue with the toxic chemical and shove it in the back of your mouth.

The teacher gave a long and detailed explaination on how this is exactly done. And then, we get a big "NEVER, EVER DO THIS" from her. Now, honestly, I didn't even know this existed. And I doubt that I ever would have. Now, the thought of smelling gasoline just for 15 minutes at a gas station make me feel extremely light-headed, and now thinking about this sort of thing almost makes me pass out. Quite literally.

I didn't need to know this. I probably never would have known this. I understand them teaching the whole "JUST SAY NO" thing, but going into detail about how these drugs are consumned? I think the more "gansta" students at my school will listen to this and think "Hm.. It's just stupid enough to work (for me)!"

..Yeah, I'm done with my rant now. I've gotta do homework.
