How I miss the high mass at St. Mary's! I am at St. Mary's of the Angels and its a very small church (I'm sure we could fit several in St. Mary Our Lady of the Sacred Heart of Jesus). Fr. David is very soft spoken and gentle and the mass is so very relaxed. Everybody holds everybody's hand during the Lord's Prayer and everybody shakes everybody's hand during the sign of peace (even during daily mass). Now, this isn't an altogether bad thing (although, I'd rather not hold hands during the Lord's Prayer... ). It's nice, once in a while, but I miss the high mass very much! I really enjoy Father Newman's homilies and how everything is so reverent and elaborate. I really do. And our alter servers! I got so used to them, it was a bit of a shock to see the little girl carrying the cross down the aisle.... I so look forward to my visit home, to my home parish. I have already told my house mates that I must come home for the Easter Tridium (my favorite)!

Older women must "train younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self controlled, chaste, good homemakers, under the control of their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited" Titus 2:4-5 Please. "Under the control of their husbands" What are you, a rug? Sorry, dear readers. I've just been told that a woman making the first step in a relationship is wrong. Apparently, if I tell a man that I like him, this is wrong. Oops. My b. So, what if I make more money? Oh, wait... am I allowed to have a job? Probably not. Do you even call him on the phone or do you have to wait for him to call you? I know you feel like you "need a man to lead your relationship," but don't push your views on me. I can walk just fine on my own. Yeah, I like to hold a guys hand, but I can see where I'm going without him telling me. But, that's me. I'm not in college just for an MRS degree. Ironically, also in Titus 2, verse 9 states ...

Dear D, enjoy the hangover. I feel your pain! Not tonight, but I have before. My major is english. I love literature and I love to write (as you know). I'm not really sure what I plan to do with it. I am enamoured with literature. Oh, poetry, how I love thee! I would love to share that knowledge with others in the form of teaching, but I really, am painfully afraid of getting in front of large groups of people. In fact, there was a poetry reading tonight and I could not find the strenght to stand. We will see. Perhaps I will find a way to make money with my writing. I am pleased that I look like Gogo from Kill Bill. I have flail earrings and I tried to be her for halloween one year (I couldn't get a real flail). I had the school girl outfit, but instead of a flail, I carried a riding crop, so I was more schoolgirl dominatrix. I don't crush on that hypnotist or anything. I actually do not think of him very much at all. I was just wondering about him one day after reading th...

Dear Frog-- What can I say but: I told you so? I don't mean to sound so harsh, but from the beginning, I figured I was destined to "fuck up," as I so put it. And, well, I fucked it all up. I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you, but so it goes. It is in my nature. Did I not tell you this before? Perhaps, someday there will be one whom I will not sting. I will change my very nature to help this person cross the stream. Oh, but dear Frog, I feel now that I cannot say that I wish I hadn't messed everything up. As wonderful as our times were together, I feel I would have stung you eventually. As you nurse your wounds, know I will always remember you. I hope that one day you can forgive me. Scorpion _______________________________________ The Scorpion and the Frog A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Becaus...
