Howdy, seaslug of DOOOOM! Good to see you on my monitor this day. I was forced to go to Sunday School for the first 10 years of my life and I hated it. I used to say but dad (who was the opposite of religious), YOU never go to church, why should I have to go? It wasn't till I was older, that I figured out it was because it got 4 annoying kids out of the house so that a hungover dad and his equally hungover woman of the moment could frolic about the house unobserved.

Morty sweetie DARLING!!!

It must have been the fact that I was MORTIFIED in this post that drew your eye, you delicious thing!

it is a hilarious confession story, and description of the priest. i didn't grow up catholic but rather methodist, known for being good little fund raisers even down to soliciting singles mothers like mine after the divorce from my father to commit not just to the traditional tithe but to a pledge of a tithe, you know, whatever she could spare so the pastor's kids could stay in private school and so the child molestor janitor could still have a job.

though it's probably bad form to mention facebook here, horror of horrors is seeing some of the people i went with to sunday school and on mission trips popping up around facebook. so not cool, that kind of blast from the past. i'm curious only to see if anyone else came out of it without religion but i don't think any of them did, they seem fervent and scary as all the adult church people seemed when i was growing up in the church.

hi! good to see you!

Oh Facebook. I know! I don't use Facebook a great deal but I do see faces from the past popping up now and again.

Because I haven't maintained contact with, well, ANYONE from childhood, when I see these faces appear I mostly just say, "Who the hell IS that?"

So glad to see you, too! :)
