The story of a teenager in a confusing world, trying to see things with perfect clarity.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been planning my brother’s Bachelor Party. I’m not the most manly man, and have been relying on others’ help to point me in the right direction. Call me “too conservative,” “unmanly,” or, “a monk,” but going out for a night of drunken debauchery was not something I had in mind even though the other groomsmen did.

I recently saw this online, and was reaffirmed that, maybe, I’m not so far off track:

Remember, a bachelor party doesn’t have to involve activities that the groom will be ashamed to tell his future wife. If you’re the groom, remember that you want to go into your wedding day with a clear conscience. Keeping secrets from your future wife is a bad practice to begin with, but think about your wedding reception for a moment — that’s when embarrassing stories come out. The last thing you want is a tipsy buddy telling a story about the previous weekend’s debauchery in full detail. You may forgive him, but your future father-in-law may not forgive you.

It all started with an umbrella, and a sin; one so horrible that it completely cut off my relationship with others and with God. (The sin, of course, not the umbrella!) I felt defeated and downtrodden and, as pathetic fallacy would have it, the rainy morning reflected that. I woke up, showered, and went about my normal routine - completely unaware of the events about to befall me.

I went to give my Mom a kiss goodnight, and did so how I always do:
- kiss the dog,
- kiss my Mom,
- leave.

I just got back into my room, only to have her yell at me and go on about how I don’t love her because I didn’t say, “Goodnight.”

Excuse my language, but what the f#@! just happened?

The girl I like just told me that she bought me a book while she was away on retreat.

What does this mean?


1. She likes me enough (whether platonically or romantically) to buy me something, and, most importantly,
2. She was thinking of me while she was away!

"There is no reason for this controversy. We all want schools that are loving and welcoming places for everyone. We simply ask that diversity be respected in our society, and that we be able to attain the common goal of welcoming schools, and of personal support for students, using methods that are in harmony with the faith we cherish."

Cardinal Thomas Collins, in regards to the recent controversy surrounding Bills 13 and 14

These Bills dictate that Catholic schools are obligated to form Gay-Straight Alliances (under that name) despite their tendencies to go against Catholic teachings on sexual morality and chastity.
