i am being most diva-ish. my dad's not in town and neither is p's mom. these are the people who usually drive us to school. when it's supposed to be my dad's turn and he can't do it, my parents are ok with getting a cab. or, like last week, i was able to get sj's dad to give us a lift.
but i feel rather bad asking for a favour from sj so often. however, this week it's p's mom's turn and she's out of town and she's suddenly decided she's not happy with paying for cab and p can't ask sj because she doesn't know sj therefore she wants us to take a bus.

ugh. so i'm making p call a cab and i'm going to pay. i cannot wake up at 6am, sigh.
i sound like such a disgustingly lazy person. and i am, at that. what to do. my mom fully supported my wish not to take the bus, haha.

i wonder why i abbreviated the names there. it sounds like i'm trying to disguise identities, but that's quite silly because it's generally quite obvious. hm.

i have copious amounts of work to do!!!!

it doesn't rain, it really really really does pour. tomorrow everything sent me practically up in flames, i was snapping and stewing and stupendously horrible.

Off Alfian's LJ:
"The Germans are especially sensitive about war, with schoolchildren exposed to the trauma of their country's history as early as primary school level. Max tells me it's almost encoded in German DNA--this collective guilt, this shame at even the slightest overtures towards German nationalism. Even though military conscription is compulsory in Germany, you can actually opt out to do civil service instead (for a longer period)--in fields such as nursing, even counselling. All you have to do is sign a declaration stating that you are terrified of guns, or that you're a staunch pacifist--Germany is about the only nation where a State can countersign and approve of your conscientious objection."

I find that fascinating. sometimes i wish i did hist S. but i think i have enough on my hands with lit. yet hist s is so very intriguing. and don't you think japan ought to learn a lesson from the germans?

oh even the last-week gg ep which i just watched had a mussolini/stalin reference, related to emily gilmore. it didn't make much sense, though. implied that mussolini was worse than stalin or something like that. which i don't quite agree with. mussolini was stupider than both stalin and hitler. IMHO. all in all it was a thoroughly pointless episode.

rehearsal today. lots of fun, lots of laughs. it's quite a hilarious play, in most unintended ways. and can i say kelly is Teh PRO! she can play a song with her left hand on the piano and still carry the tune, and she can teach waikit how to conduct at the same time. and she composes really nice (though credit must - unfortunately =P - go to shoojee too for that.)

now i will go and do something vaguely useful before going to bed.

good thing about dad being out of town: brother can sleep in mom's room instead of mine. why oh WHY can his aircon not be fixed sooner.
