gah. al and i forgot we had an announcement on monday, as a result of which we were caught unprepared (= without our CD). this, of course, made amy think that i was "nervous and shit." which, to be fair, i was, but that wasn't all of it. impromptu cor anglais solos in place of recorded music: not a good idea, and not exactly soothing on the nerves, either.

then came wednesday - performing a duet we'd seen once together. that was a joy. bill and amy seemed to like it a lot - i haven't gotten a reaction from anyone else - although bill thinks that al looks like a constipated monkey (serves her right for taking up the oboe) and that my boots are combat boots (he tells me to squish people. what for? and besides, i'm not tall enough to squish people.)

today, i am told, alas, that giles is no longer going to be a player-controlled character in the role-playing game i'm in, which means out i go. they say i might be able to join later, and also that i can have my pick of minor characters. hip-hip-hooray. i'm somewhat glad of the hiatus, though, mostly because the end of the year is fast approaching, and with it all sorts of fun things, like finals and AP tests. ack. i have fourteen days to prepare for my latin test. bleargh.

i just realized that i wrote about our announcement in my last entry as well, but i think i'll leave that in. i realize that if t. is reading this, it will seem perhaps as if i really do hate her and as if all my attention is going to al. perhaps it is.

i am apparently now a mother. of al and of molly and even of anna, which is funny, because how did i end up with three daughters? no matter. i should start carrying those spare pads with me - there is, it seems, a pad thief at our school who studies everyone's cycles and takes the pads just as one needs them. i wouldn't know; i am but a boy. shrug.

the bright among you may have noticed that i'm not updating this quite as often as i'm used to. i'm working on an alchera project which requires me to write a 113-word entry for every day of the month, so, energy being sapped more than a little bit, and also schoolwork. because our teachers have stopped taking into consideration that we're taking other classes as well. i do, however, update my livejournal more often than not. so there it stands.

time to go catch up on other people's diaries. take care during my break.
