Me, Myself, and I

Hey there!

So, I'm checking out my blogger dashboard today, and what do I see? It's been a month since I posted a darn thing. Which I figure is enough time for the awesomeness of my first post to settle in your minds. And if it hasn't yet, it'll never happen, so I'm just going to write on.

Kidding. 

Actually, the real problem was that I couldn't decide what to post. I tried a couple times, and they all pretty much came up crap, so I gave up on it for a while. And then I thought, geez Julia, it doesn't have to be some deep, profound thing, go simple. Tell them about yourself, what you want with to do with the blog. Hence, well, this post. (If you're not a Catholic I'm going to be throwing around some terms that may be confusing. Google is your best friend because I don't like (nor am I very good at) defining things.)

1. I generally write run-on sentences. It's kind of my style. (Which is a thing you can say after you've learned all the rules in Eng 101, right?)

2. Following number 1, I both over and underuse commas. Fun, right?

3. I'm don't really consider myself a Trad Catholic. I attend a novus ordo mass (pause for gasps... and we're back). And I like it when it's done correctly (read, 'no clown masses'. I've been to masses when it's done wrong and well... another post, perhaps). After all, the Latin mass came about in a time when Latin was the lingua franca of most of the people and especially those who could read. I don't really see the issue with either mass. Nor do I have a problem with guitars. Or organs. Or Benedictine Chants, for that matter. (I am considering wearing a mantilla, but that's a post for another time.)

4. I do agree with all the Churches doctrine and Dogma. I believe the Church to 100% correct in faith and morals.

5. I like our new Pope. And Pope Benedict 16. And JP II.

6. I read a lot, and right now, it's a lot of theology and history. If you've got any suggestions, I'd be happy to read them and discuss. Right now, I'm on The Jew's Pope: The Vatican's Secret Plan to Save the Jews from the Nazis. I highly recommend it.

7. I love being Catholic. Catholicism is my favorite thing to talk about. Which, frankly, is the reason I'm writing this blog. People I know get sick of me blabbing on all the time about theology and Popes and Authority and yadda yadday yadda. Hopefully this blog will give me the chance to release some of my zeal on an unsuspecting internet, instead of my weary family and friends.

So, what is this blog, then? A little of this, a little of that, probably. I'm going to throw in some apologetics, random thoughts, videos, and occasionally something on my favorite TV shows (Oh! I thought of number 8: I'm a nerd).

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully your brains don't explode with the awesometude coming from this post.
