"What? You aren't teaching? For shame girl, you were going to change the world! But, look at you still with the man, and with the kidlet, and the house, and the cats, and you found your voice ... that's still pretty cool. But, girl, for real, you need to get back to the books and the teaching and writing thing."

Hmm 4 1/2 years later...

"What...you're in Minnesota?! WHY?! Still Catholic I see, rock on. I see that you have none of the same friends or social networks that I did. An early childhood education major, huh? What the *&@! happened to nursing? You're gonna be so broke! AND YOU'RE STILL LIVING WITH MOM?!?!....Gosh you're lame"

I have no clue where I'll be or what I'll be doing more more than four years from now (except that I'll be Catholic). Heck, I'm not even sure what I'll be doing tomorrow.

You're a what?

No, seriously, what the hell is that? The Jesus thing is cool, I know I'm still kind of working that out. But I was [i]really[/i] hoping you'd still throw in a ritual in there somewhere. Magick is so cool!

...Catholicism [i]has[/i] ritual. Right. But man, it's BORING! And all the friggin' rules? Who got to you, really? You're a Scorpio. You don't FIT as a Catholic. You can't!

~*~*~

YOU'RE DATING [i]WHO[/i]? FROM WHERE? AND FOR [i]HOW[/i] LONG? Girl, you're a fool. What happened to the whole crying thing, and the "I'll never do that to myself again" thing?

You mean...love's not about that? There really is somebody out there who's going to treat me like a lady? And he's a writer, too? Hey, maybe this won't be so bad, after all.

~*~*~

I got a summer job at a real newspaper? Seriously?! Front page stories????? THAT'S SO AWESOME! And editor-in-chief in college, huh? Guess they were right about me when they said I was good...cool. :))

That was fun. Ten years from now...I want to marry a nice Catholic boy. :blush:

Maryland would be a nice place to live, or better yet, New England. And a job in journalism. Doesn't matter what size paper, as long as I'm writing, and getting a paycheck. Kids as God wills.

Maybe, someday, get that novel published.

It sounds like fun, but if you don't like making public speeches or signing your name or giving interviews, it can be a drag. I had a reporter ask me what I thought about Obama, and I knew he was very excited. That was very difficult. If I had told him everything I wanted to, then the interview would have been scrapped, and if you're trying to sell books, you have to be a slave to the PR.

What is this "Google" thing you want me to buy and what is an IPO?

And why do you have mom's old Latin missal out? Are you using it for something?

I can see that . . .



My 16-year old self didn't trust anyone over 30 . . . so our conversation was pretty minimal . . . ok . . . fine . . . nothin . . . same old stuff . . . and conversations with my mother still sound sort of like that . . .

Where is this Wasilia, Alaska I should move to, and who is this Todd I need to bench more than to win over Sarah - who is she, by the way?
