leedyI must be very careful when listening to what I'm doing in choir at the moment on headphones in work, lest I inadvertently announce to any German-speakers in the room that all flesh is, indeed, as grass. Oops.
(I've also just realized that if I go over to visit![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
glitzfrau and biascut in Berlin this Summer, I will be forced to rely almost entirely on scraps of German learned from Brahms, Mahler, etc., which is frankly a bit dramatic for everyday use. "Joy!", I will respond jubilantly to anything remotely pleasant. "Woe!", I will cry on, eg, discovering that it is my round. I can also inform people that the dead are blessed.)
Oh yeah, the choir thing in question is Brahm's Ein deutsches Requiem, NCH, this Saturday at 8pm, not sure what the ticket situation is.
jane_the_23rd has evilly given me Q to work on for the letters meme. Still thinking...

Date: 2006-05-04 02:45 pm (UTC)It's better than only knowing the Dies Irae/Libera Me. At least you've done the GErman Requiem.
Personally I'm nervous that Helen will mock me and I'm shy and don't want to speak German in front of her so I'm going to bar them from listening to me when I order food at restaurants and things. AAAAAA I'm already stressed out.

Something like this, I'm sure...
Date: 2006-05-04 04:30 pm (UTC)WOE!
Really though, joy and woe should be used far more often. Silly commoners!
