Thank God my parents are easy-going, open-minded human beings. Especially my mother. The decision to become an actor might not have impressed every parent out there - but mine encouraged me to pursue the dream I have. To lead my own, personal life.
Yet I do have some stupid friends I don\'t like that much. Every time I "skip" school ( when I\'m dead tired and know that I just won\'t succeed in studying that day ), they call me up and ask why I am not in school. When I give them my honest explanation, they call me lazy. Perhaps it is laziness - but being tired is never a consequence of laziness. Not in my life, at least.
For example, I decided to skip school today. Why? I have had two looong and exhausting days. I didn\'t sleep well. I woke up this morning feeling like stiff shit on a broken toilet. I knew I had to sleep in order to secure the rest of the week, and so I did. Not long before a \'friend\' of mine called and asked why I wasn\'t in class. I told him the reason - that I had had two musical showings on both Monday and Tuesday and that I was dead tired due to them - and he just laughed, called me lazy and shut the phone. I was so pissed that it was very easy to stay home.
My mother understood and accepted my decision. My father doesn\'t know - and doesn\'t have to, either. While he is forgiving and kind, he wouldn\'t understand skipping school due to head-ache. And I do have a head-ache.
