I've come to the conclusion that if I ever end up doing anything memorable, it won't be until I'm very old. There are never young Joans. The other night I had to go to this ceremony for my mother's masonic organization and there were at least 5 Joans there. All old and wrinkled. I'm fairly certain I have never once in my life met a Joan my age or ( Read more... )

You have a point about Joan of Arc. But that was a million years ago (...more or less anyway). I don't doubt that there was a time when young Joans abounded. This is not that time, however. Maybe if I go and raise my own army and die a martyr now I will bring the name back into vogue.

You don't know how right you are about the creepy and weird. And not in an interesting way. In a stuck-in-the-fifties-and-resembling-children-trying-to-re-enact-complicated-ceremonies-they-saw-once-on-tv-or-just-heard-about-vaguely type of way. You'd think people so old would want to keep things nice and brief. I swear to god I wish you guys could sit in on one of these meetings just to see the ridiculous/torturously boring and pointless nature of it all. I think my mother thought I'd be into it because I've done theatre stuff before... I CANNOT STRESS HOW VERY VERY WRONG SHE WAS.

Just get back to me on the ride thing. No big deal as long as I know before I start driving up.

I am decidely against the concept of working at work. It's just wrong and should be abolished.

Hell, there's a ton of money in insurgencies these days. You could get yourself a tidy fortune before your untimely death.

I think I'm now rather glad I will never see a Masonic ceremony. Man. I was hoping it was at least sort of fun. Apparently not.

I may not know about the ride until close to the end of June, because Tim doesn't know how he's going to feel about missing an opportunity to see his family, but I'll make sure to get back to you with a couple of days to spare, at least.

I agree with you about working at work. I have done very little of it this week. Sadly, next week I'll have to start working again. *sigh*
