I don't know what to title this...
Dream. We were in Vegas, in that restaurant we went to to celebrate Matthew's grad. Except it was Mom's side of the family. I remember takyttik82 pulling me aside and mentioning there was a dress code. Something like we were all wearing a specific color. I can't think of what exactly. But I mention no one told me anything and I just had what I brought, well a choice of 2 blouses, but neither fit the dress code. I then remember dressing up and putting on a half slip, except it was ratty so I put another skirt over it and over that I put on my actual skirt. It was darkish green, almost black with asymmetrical ruffles. I then had a choice between a blue or a very light pink / off white shirt. I went with the latter. I then remember arriving back at the hotel and 7500centfish and I got into some argument about an misunderstanding in regards to getting tea for Mom. And even when Tito Abe drove us in his van, I remember walking by Tita Neng getting into a beige sedan as if that was their actual car and the van was a rental. We were then in the room and... I remember going to the bathroom except the wall, with the exception of the door was clear glass. Mom was talking to room service or some hotel employee while I was trying to pee and... It felt like it was a bizarro world where peeing in front of someone wasn't a big thing, yet they respectfully looked away as I pissed.
Dr. L is going on vacay and he was asking me to ask Mom for some MD names and... She didn't give them to me when I first asked so he was like she's gonna call her, Marna was gonna call her. I then said she was at her doctor's appt. She eventually answered and Dr. L called one of them. I dunno... Part of me is hesitant to work with one of Mom's "friends". Like... They don't know me outside of parties and stuff. Not that I talk to them. But I dunno... Like they'll really see how I really am. Or know more about me. Like... Dr. L told Dr. M all about my edumication. I don't know. Not thrilled. But then the trend is for the MD to deal with my coworkers mostly. They do all the patient care while I just put in meds and deal with random office issues. No mention has been made about rescheduling my MD appt. I hope I don't have to.
Dr. L was then making fun of like the covering MD for having a Filipino name. Uh... Not to knock the "Spanish" last names, but I like being "different". But at the same time I totally mind blew my classmate when she found out my Mom's maiden name is "Spanish". It then gets into the convo how the Philippines was a Spanish colony for 300 years. So...
I did a quick "google" search for meatless fast food options and the first article that popped up was basically full of side and milk shakes. Uh... Like McD literally had a pic of a Oreo McFlurry and hash browns. The text below it mentioned all day breakfast, but yeah... No. In addition, a lot of it was plant based fake burgers. Yeah... In my option that's cheating. Like if you're gonna abstain don't pretend to be eating a burger even if it's not meat.
The Pillar is doing a new serial podcast which deals with a single issue for the entire season. It reminds me of that podcast "Serial" which focused on that kid killing his HS girlfriend. I mean... It was about abortion, but... I don't know, it was just a weird vibe. Like the 1st ep had to do with just discussing abortion in a civil matter between friends who grew up together, are still friends, had opposing view, yet never talked about it. The host came out thinking they had things in common, yet felt bad at not correcting some of their friend's arguments. She also spoke to a psychologist that it's not something that can be done in a sitting, it may take time and she might even change her thinking. I'll probably give the next ep a try, but yeah, it's just weird. I'm more used to like conversation podcasts or... Not really storytelling but just talking podcasts.
But yeah... I wonder if I'd be able to have an apologetic conversation with someone defending the faith. I mean... I'd probably be better over texts or a comment thread to get my thought together vs verbally. I mean... I've answered some Qs 7500centfish had and I've had a few twitter back and forths with kumquatqueen when she had one. I wonder if I've grown in knowledge at all... I mean... Not to fight and debate in that sense, but to explain where I'm coming from, etc.
Someone posted on reddit about some vid Jordan Peterson made. And... I guess he has brought a lot of men to / back to the Church even when he himself is an atheist (?). Yet he makes comments that Catholicism is the only religion that makes sense. And like I said, he made this vid about a message to the Christian Churches. Basically... Men need to man up. But then on Twitter, someone posted a comment of his from the video basically saying something like reminding men that there is a woman for them and according to the Church their role as men is to marry and have children. I mean... Reddit is more radtrad in a sense so they were all pumped up and energized by it and... Twitter was offended. And... I mean, I'm not a Jordan Peterson fan. His voice annoyed me when I saw him talking to... Either Ben Shapiro or Bishop Barron. Anyway... Other than a comment he made about due to confession Catholics deal with guilt and sin better than other Christians. Not to say that it's a get out of jail free card / we can sin all we want. Just... Psychologically the act of confessing gives relief whereas protestant confessing to God alone leaves doubt. Where was I? Lol... So twitter... Yeah, like no, that's not what the Church says. Someone quoted Paul about celibacy and... It's not about being fruitful and multiplying. It's about God's will and the like. But yeah... Lol... Like I'm ever getting married... But I fear that like "real" Catholic Men want a Trad wife. Not that I'm not trad in that sense. But... Like I said, I can't take care of myself. I can't cook. And I'm sure it's not that different... But they say if you can't be a good father you can't be a good priest either. I'm assuming the same is for women religious / consecrated?
Text. HAHAHAHA!!! Tita Evelyn called me "Bad bad bad!" Lol! Tita Neng texted saying they were on their way to Prague and I said they should have brought my little statue to go galavating! I then mentioned when I got it blessed Fr. I asked me if I had a devotion and out of awkwardness / not knowing what to say I reflexively said yes. HAHAHAHa!!! So... It's venial at best. I then confessed it next time I went. HAHAHAHA!!! Lol. If it becomes a thing, I did bring my statues to HH and LV.
