Happy Pentecost!
And welcome to Ordinary Season, everybody! This is going to be a most interesting Ordinary Season; so much is going to happen that I don’t know if I can handle it.
In an entirely unrelated topic, the reason I love my cats is because they judge me for who I am, not for what I say or my appearance. Of course, they don’t know the innards of my person, but then again I’m not entirely sure that I do either.
Laura and I went to the 4:30 PM Vigil last night which was the first Saturday Mass I’ve been to in a long time. The cantor was that guy who sings with the “contemporary ensemble” and I like him. They sang one of my favorite hymns, “Holy God we Praise Thy Name.” I wore my sweatshirt over my tux because I didn’t want to stand out, lol. Fr. Rod noted my tux and asked (while we were leaving), “Going to prom?” I love Fr. Rod.
Pictures abounded when I arrived at Barbara’s house. One of the things that happened though is that I made some jokes to lighten the mood and some strange adult man that I’ve never seen before laughed and repeated them. I hate that! I always say to myself, “Uhm…yeah I JUST said that. Please don’t repeat it.” I guess it’s akin to when I tell Laura, “I’m not blind,” when she points out something obvious.
Prom was interesting and boring. It’s not all it’s hyped up to be. Kana was very pretty; her dress and hair were beauteous. Barbara was outstanding!
Prom: basically I just drank, didn’t dance, and was emo with Laura at the afterprom. I’m still upset with Laura for not going to her own prom; I could tell her mother was upset. Maybe next year I can convince Laura to go with me to my prom. I’d enjoy that greatly.
O my readers, do you remember Byzansteve? That Byzantine Rite Catholic I’ve mentioned before twice? He brought his “girlfriend” and she’s Greek Orthodox w00t! It was so much fun meeting Sonya! She and I talked about the Papendraes’ (spelling) and how we both love them; we invoked Kathy’s name and Sonia described her to a T; we talked about (my memory is failing me now) cats and dogs.
Then Laura took me home after everything was done. Laura is one of the few people who does understand me; I hope that one day she and I never cease our friendship.
