Here are some things you might want to know. For old times’ sake. — 1 — First of all, there were scores of baby Lutherans wandering around my city for some sort of conference last week. And by “baby” I mean “teenagers.” And by “scores” I mean “20.” As in, groups of 20, walking aroundContinueContinue reading “SUPdate”

Relationship WHAT…for the sheltered girls like me
I’ve been dating a guy for almost nine months now. And it seems odd to say that. I’m getting better at using the term “boyfriend,” but it still sounds kind of, I don’t know, foreign and fifth-grade at the same time. It’s a long-distance thing (saints preserve us, he is so much better at thisContinueContinue reading “Relationship WHAT…for the sheltered girls like me”
The PIT of H—
The grandmother of A half-dozen afro-American children Who were in my art class Emphasized a point like this, “That is a lie,” (and then she would verbally italicize each word) “From the pit of Hell.” I found the phrase both Pointed and slightly humorous, As I do now, But I slipped it into my vocabularyContinueContinue reading “The PIT of H—”
There’s been a lot going on
When I drove back from Chicago I called my priest-friend (crying) (bless him) All, “How do I do this?” And “this” meant life in general And he agreed to pray for me “For an hour, if you need it” So we prayed. He asked God to give me patience And I thought that was kindContinueContinue reading “There’s been a lot going on”
No ready models | Re: body image
Even though the trend is probably almost done anyway, I’m still slightly drawn to the idea of colored pants. Red slacks, jean-cut, in particular. So, I try them on when I see them. But, they never seem quite right. That’s where I was, a few weeks ago, red pants in hand, ready to buy ifContinueContinue reading “No ready models | Re: body image”

Remember how I was going to be recreating and stuff? I did. I went to IL and Chicago and saw friends and fam. Want to see about ten pictures with limited amounts of text?

Recreation time
I went to mass last week and we sang the song about the morning that has broken, like the first morning, and we praised God for the “recreation of the new day.” Recreation is an interesting word. Because it mostly conjures up images of play-time. The beach and camping and what not. Or, maybe not.ContinueContinue reading “Recreation time”
Le update
Once I went to this church-talk by this dewd I know who is really cool and also happens to be in seminarian for bonus-cool points. He was telling us some stories about his life, and one was that he went to this high-security prison to minister to the inmates and what not. Anyway, this oneContinueContinue reading “Le update”
