Axe murderers, kris, coffee and balls (no, not those ones)

Why does everyone have to go round murdering each other? Why not leave it to the crime dramas?

Top story today: Grandfather goes mad, goes on a rampage, kills his wife and two grandchildren with an axe. Police found him (just now) at a motel.

Why are we such a bloody self-destructive organism??? Apart from rats, we are the species who is most prone to killing each other. Isn't that stupid?? And humans are all portrayed as kind and empathetic and stuff. I mean some are, but it seems we have to balance it out with the other extreme.

Kristine's back at school today! Poor Kris, hobbling round stiffly, wincing every time she has to tackle the stairs. :( Someone stole her lunch too, to put the extra-dry sprinkling of faeces on the shit. Ploy, moved by pity, tried to persuade her to stay at home tomorrow, but Kris adamantly refused, saying she missed school all last week. I see what she means- even though when we're there, all we ever do, practically, is complain about school, but seriously. Life would be even more tedious without it.

Because our RE class was so small today, we spent the lesson down at the home ec department, where Hayami worked the coffee machine, and we all sat around, drinking mochas, chatting. Twas fun. I love those engaging conversations...you learn so much- not just from the subject matter, but from the people themselves. You know that feeling that comes after a good natter? yeah...it was fun. Did you know Ella used to live in Dubai? for about nine years...i didn't know that. She's pretty cool...i dunno, i've always semi-admired her...she doesn't really seem to give a damn about what anyone thinks.

I'm getting end-of-term-itis. Procrastinating. Being negligent to my whining pile of homework. Plonking down on the couch nightly. Opting for crosswords over applying words in intelligable structures called essay paragraphs.
hold up. How is that any different from usual? what a load of crap. End-of-term-itis (to use a sam phrase) my aunt fanny.

You know, i can still feel your presence in the group. As if you're sitting there with us, only invisible. Sometimes i smile to think of your reactions to certain group goings on. Especially when you would laugh.

Looks like the ball arrangement in Challenge Stadium is sealed. I have to admit (grudgingly) i was taken hook, line and sinker when there was a presentation by a guest speaker in Tute on the advantages of the venue. The guy was pretty funny. I am still trying to figure out if he was gay or not. He was suspiciously effeminate. haha, but seriously, they do themes like "winter wonderland", "alice in wonderland", "chicago", "caribbean" to name a few. In fact, we can invent our own theme. I think people are struck with the idea "charlie and the chocolate factory' but i think the fumes would become overpowering. And the entertainment wouldn't be that great.
Yes, yes, i know, how uncharacteristic it is for me to be talking of such a subject. haha, hinge up your jaw again, i don't have a boyfriend. Its just the excitement is infectious.

QUOTES OF THE DAY: Steven Wright

"I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically."

"Some people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths."

"I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues that are in all the other museums."
