1. I'm madly and passionately in love with being Catholic. I wouldn't trade my faith for anything in the world.
2. I have no idea why, but Grumpy Cat is by far my favorite meme on the interwebs. It never fails to makes me laugh.
3. I'm no longer gluten free. I spent five days in the hospital a couple of weeks ago, trying to have a seizure (to no avail), so they could catch it on the EEG. I ate gluten that entire week and felt fine. I've been eating gluten ever since and I still feel fine. Better even.
4. I'm not longer obsessed with the number 4. It's still not my favorite number, but I don't loathe it nearly as much as I did.
5. I have a mad devotion to the whole "to Jesus through Mary" thing. It is so beautiful. Mary holds my heart very close to her.
6. For lent, I've given up wearing makeup. It's much harder than I'd thought it would be.
7. I'm also writing in nothing but cursive until Easter. This, too, is much harder than I'd thought it would be.
8 Oh. I got a Twitter.
9. I want to be a hospice nurse when I grow up. Or an ER nurse. Or a children's nurse. Or a competitive walrus dancer. Whatever that is.
10. Avatar: The Last Airbender is the best thing since fried rice.
11. I declared the day Pope Francis was elected a holiday and did no school at all.
12. My grandma made me a cow outfit for Cow Appreciation Day. No lie.
13. I don't like the fact that no one seems to dress up for Mass anymore. I hate the lack of reverence, especially at the Lifeteen Mass.
14. I'm really, horrifyingly shy. People scare me to death. But I try as hard as I can to be friendly because being shy is the thing I hate most about myself.
15. When I tell you I'm praying for you, I am praying for you. I'm not the "Oh, I'll pray for you, honey." and then go and forget about it type. No sir. I will say that I'm praying for you and then go offer up a rosary or go to Adoration for you right away.
16. I'm am way too hard on myself. And I'm really mean to myself. I'm my harshest critic. But I'm so bad it's probably not healthy.
17. It kind of freaks me out that I'm going to be an adult this year. My childhood went by too fast.
18. Fanta orange soda > everything other food in the world. Besides the Eucharist.
19. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world my age that is totally okay with being single. I'm even okay with the thought of the vocation to single life.
20. Facebook debates amuse me. I never partake in them, but I love to watch them go. Like, I could sit back with popcorn and just watch a facebook debate on abortion between a Catholic and some person who's wrong and be perfectly entertained.
I know this is an old post, AND I just found your blog, somehow, but I wanted to tell you that I love the fact that you are madly in love with Catholicism and that you want to be a nurse, someday. I loved the videos, too! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAs Gabriela says, this post is hold. However, I will comment with a story anyways. My mom and dad have always made us get in dresses for Mass, and none of the three girls in my family contradict her...you just don't contradict my mom on, as she puts it, "dressing up for Jesus."
ReplyDeleteWhen I was eleven-twelve I was embarrassed, because no other kids had to wear dresses to Mass, and it was, well, awkward. But then, our Father comes up to my family and says, "I love how your family is always so dressed up for Mass. It really makes my day."
That kind of changed everything. And, oh yeah, I love you and your sisters vlogs!
