Shit like that, and the fact that the Church is nothing like the post Vatican II Church that I grew up with in the '70s, is why I don't go to Mass anymore. Really disappoints my mother, but I just can't do it.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, I hate Stockton and Malone.
No, that's not related to anything here.
I also hate Microsoft Project.
CIO sent me a "Welcome to the team!" card. I doublechecked, and she is still spelling my name in all caps. I feel obliquely chastised.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Does she think you're an acronym?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
What Kathy A said. I long ago decided not to be Catholic, but the Church as it is now composed is so very far from the hippyish post-Vatican II Church I grew up with as to be unrecognizable.

I hope she thinks I'm the right one. Continual total agreement would be useful.
The Utah Jazz players?
Yeah. I just had a moment. Not sure what came over me. Winningest team I never could like.

Only roller derby could make me order a pair of black, sequined hot pants from Hot Topic and wear them.

Admittedly, my parish was the most hippyish in town (we had a reputation--all the other churches' priests had to say in their homilies was "I went to St. Jude's for Reason X last week, and, well, you know St. Jude's..." to get a laugh of recognition from the congregation), and then I went to an all-girls Catholic high school which was very female dominated, so I grew up with a much more open-minded view of the Church, one in favor of strong women leaders speaking their minds, even in opposition to what was coming out of Rome.
It took my Theology 101 class at Marquette (taught by an Episcopalian) to learn that certain things I learned about the tenets of the Church were technically heresy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of basketball and old players, how weird is it that Shaq is going to be a Celtic??
Also, I took my unexciting corn salad and put it into my disappointing gazpacho, and the combination was way more delicious! Good one.
