Wow... is it the third of October already?

So my brother's team won their first soccer game this weekend. Coach has been putting up only two forwards [seriously, what is up with that? Does he want to lose?], one of which is his son [yeah, no favoritism or nepotism, nosirree!], and son got kicked in the ankle, and had to be pulled out. So he ended up putting in some random people, and changing around positions. There's this one girl, and it's her first year playing, so he always either keeps her on the sidelines, or puts her in defense. But he put her as a halfback, and she made three goals. The worst part of the game this weekend was when one of our kids kicked the ball into our own goal... but we won! For the first time this season!

In other news-- our family bought an XBOX this weekend. Kinda funny, considering I couldn't have a Nintendo or Sega or even a lowly GameBoy when I was little on the reason that it "rots your brains out, plus it's too violent." But it still totally rocks. We played Halo as a family for several hours. So far, my brother and I are in the lead in all our games, but Dad knows aspects of guerilla warfare that help him out. Mom's still in the stage where she gets stuck staring into a corner while one of us creeps up behind and shoots her. The funniest part? It's the longest time we've spent while playing a family game without arguing with each other.

In other news... I'm a bit worried about the whole wisdom teeth thing... I get them out this Thursday. I'm just glad I'm getting put under, I don't really enjoy pain... Plus everyone keeps telling me how it was for them. It's kinda like how when someone is pregnant, they get inundated with pregnancy horror stories--- "Well, I thought being in labor for five weeks was bad enough-- but THEN it got EVEN WORSE!" People seem to delight in telling me their worst-case-scenario stories. "My face was swollen for a month. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't move. My friends deserted me. I failed all my classes. I just wanted to die. The pain meds made me mutate and grow another arm." Well-- maybe not that bad... but just wait as the day gets closer.

As a final note.... I've got "You're So Vain" stuck in my head. But wait-- it just doesn't make sense and it bothers me. "You're so vain, I bet you think this song is about you-- Don't you? Don't you?" But... isn't it? I mean, if you're singing to a person, and you're directly addressing a problem in their personality... doesn't that make the song about that person? Gah... now my head hurts...
