Well, I still haven't finished my bio, but it'll be done before the end of the week (I hope?).
The past few days have been spent reading The Once and Future King, since I bloody need to finish it for school. I've always enjoyed King Arthur, though I'm absorbing some of the tragedy of the book into my life right now. Generally I've been sympathizing with Lancelot, which is rather unfair of myself 1. because I'm not horribly ugly 2. because I'm not much of a valiant person, and 3. because I've not ever had an affair. But beyond that, I can relate to his general torture of trying to be the best to please someone, not to mention he's bisexual, too. How wonderful. It seems that there has to be a sexual deviance in every book that I'll read in high school. It's somewhat cliche at this point.
Jumping back to Sunday, our soccer team lost the championship. Not that it was anything big, since this is rec league, but still a bit disappointing. A bad sign coming afterward, though, is that I'm suddenly sore all over, with one major pain in my left glute... I didn't do anything in the game to strain myself, and I haven't had any trouble with exercise recently, so I'm slightly worried (mainly since high school tryouts start next week).
I find it very annoying that this chair won't recline. It's supposed to recline, and it was this morning. But for some reason, it won't at the moment.
Another sad thing about the soccer season is now that summer league is over, there are a certain few guys who I won't see anymore... True tragedy, I know :P
Our dog went to the veterinarian today. She's been having problems walking in general, and cannot go up or down stairs at all right now (a problem, since the only way to get to the yard is over steps). Well, we found out that she has two slipped discs. I hate to say it, but I think it may be time to put her to sleep. She's half deaf, has cateracts, is developing wart-like things all over, has had a urinary tract infection for a long time, and now this. But she seems otherwise healthy (?!), and I have much emotional attachment.
I've gotten over my slump of not practicing my piano literature. However, now my pieces sound pretty crappy compared to before. But what can one expect from not playing for two weeks? I also picked up Debussy's First Arabesque, which will serve as another relatively easy personal study.
In general, things are starting to look up for me. I've been relatively productive the last few days (thus, the non-updating of the journal), and I've regained a positive self-image. I think I'm starting to be stupid when it comes to that. It's about a two week cycle of me being happy and unhappy with myself. Really it's quite petty...
I'm starting to toy with the thought of coming out to my parents. I want to do it before school starts because my mom's going to be teaching me this year, so I don't want to have that pressure before I tell them. But there are still details to work out...
