Just When I Think It Can't Get Any Worse...

[bookofmirrors]

I was just talking to my cousin online. We were just catching up. I don't talk to him often, 'cause we really don't have a whole lot in common, but he was commenting on a Nativity Festival that was going on in his local area. Apparently, it's a church fest. Let me just share with you an excerpt of this conversation:

(edited for relevance and ease of reading, and to protect the guilty) ;)

LJ-Less Cousin Mark : this weekend is the nativity summer festival

bookofmirrors : What's that?

LJ-Less Cousin Mark : a church fest

bookofmirrors : Ah... where's it at?

LJ-Less Cousin Mark : the fest is on willowcreek in portage not far from where we used to live on eleanor st.

bookofmirrors : Oh, yeah, I remember where that is

bookofmirrors : Portage must be getting pretty popular to be having festivals there :)

LJ-Less Cousin Mark : yep

LJ-Less Cousin Mark : it has a beer garden gambling food booths carnival rides and bingo

bookofmirrors : It has a beer garden?

LJ-Less Cousin Mark : yep lol

bookofmirrors : It's a church fest, you said? With a beer garden?

LJ-Less Cousin Mark : yep the catholic church

bookofmirrors : Well, allrighty then

I didn't even notice the part about the gambling until I started making this entry... I was still flabbergasted about the beer.

I'm so glad I'm pagan.

My aunt, who's about 65, has been a nun since she was 18. She drinks beer, participates in gambling pools, and wears slacks. Nuns have changed a lot, I guess.

She has however written me that she can't read my LJ anymore because of "language". Hmph.
