We had a substitute for Math because my actual teacher had personal business to attend to. We weren’t doing much, just some little project, and today it was storming in Texas.

Possibly my favorite part of Fanime was putting on Ezio, hiking up his coattails and skipping across the entire length of the convention center while people behind me shouted “Ezio! You’re doing it wrong!”
If you happened to be at Fanime 2012 and saw an Ezio skipping about, that was me.
