So i spent the night at Samuel's house. It was pretty interesting. Matt met this girl named Christina on the Train (Metra) like a week ago, maybe a little more. So every time that he knew she would be on the train, he went on it. Turns out that she is studying to be a doctor. She is on her 3rd year.
So anyway, yesterday her family and her were having this Lent party. She invited Matt and told him he could bring Sam and if i wanted to go i could do so aswell. I agreed, and went to the lent party. We had chicken soup and bread with butter. After everyone was done (there were a lot of people, it was like a church thing but more relaxed) we were all given praer sheets, and were offered rosaries but neither Matt, Sam or I accepted the rosaries. They all started to pray, and the 3 of us just closed our eyes and meditated. It was pretty cool. I had nothing in my head. Aparently it took like 15 minutes to finish the rosarie. This whole time the 3 of us had our eyes shut. It was so cool, so relaxing. I felt so at peace.
We then cleaned up, and walked a round a lake for a while. Matt taught Christina's dad how to use his board. They gave us a ride to Sam's house.
Now i called my mom to tell her how i went to this religious thing, and she was like " I'm so glad you went to a religious thing. See, you are getting closer to god even if you don't want to." I told her that i wasn't and that being Catholic did not appeal to me. She made a big deal and i just told her that i didn't want it, that it wasn't for me.
I'm happy where i am (religion wise). I feel at peace. I just wish my mommy could see that.

Wait, Matt just met some random girl? And went to her religious thing and taught her dad how to use his board?
ReplyDeleteI WISH I HAD THE BALLSSS.
I think it'll take awhile for your mom to see that you're happy where you are in terms of religion. I still go to church with my mom, though I pretty much know she knows I'm not catholic.
I really don't know what I am.
Lol, but I think she takes me to church with her to convert me back, because I'll find her trying to make me follow along with the readings in the pamphlet (she'll secretly be whacking me with the pamphlet from behind the benches until I look at it).
Just try to find a happy medium with her, and keep on believing in your own faith and hopefully she will see how important it is to you and respect it.
My mom is the same way with my brother. She keeps trying to convert him back, but he has his own views.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys had fun. I agree with April, I wish I had the balls to do that when I just met someone.
Sometimes I feel that way about the world too (this is about the comment you posted on my blog). but sometimes I feel like maybe there is no plan...and that things don't just work out. I dunno, yet. I'm trying to just go with the flow.
ReplyDeleteYES I AM SERIOUSSS!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure my room mate won't mind; she's never really here during the day (she comes and goes), and she only comes back to the dorm around 10 or later to sleep (she then leaves at 8 in the morning).
Plus, Tim is always here, and I mean, ALWAYS. She hasn't really said anything about him being here all the time, so I think it would be fine with her if you stayed over!
All you really have to do is sign this guest pass, and you're set!
You could also probably visit my Drawing II class. Lol, the teacher loves me, and I'm sure she'll love to meet you!
.....But there's not that much to do down here in Savannah. I don't really have friends who party, or have cars...or know any cool places....
You could totally watch people nerf-gunning each other with the Zombie vs Humans thing going on though...
Lol, idk, tell me what you'd like to do and I'll see if it's possible!
