Okay this is going to sound a little weird but I met a nun today, she was visiting a friends mother, while my friend Matt was busy unloading the dishwasher something I don't help with because I just have to do at home (its an unspoken truce of sort) well an idea struck me so I wrote it down and started going off on it in my large lime notebook when my friend mom and the nun walked in. the nun took on look at me scribbling away in my notebook and said "that one will have a novel published before shes twenty-five" can I say I was astonished!! Matt laughed _I can't tell you if it was at the look of shock I had to be wearing or at the nun's matter of fact voice_ I looked at Matt you was still laughing and introduced myself. "Thank you ma'am I am Alianne Morrigan" I said as I held out my hand she shook it firmly and said "polite and a original name" I was a little freaked out "I am Sister Mary" then she asked the unthinkable to read my work my heart was racing as I agreed would she ream me out?? would she like it? would she say I should be happy with what god gave me?? Do I need to say that I fidgeted the entire time she read.when she was done she was all like "you are a very talented writer" no reaming me out your looking up verses in the bible or anything like that she said "damn is a powerful vile word that is never to be said out loud but use it in your writing instead of very it embellishes your feelings better and gets you point across Alianne you are very talented" I WAS stunned. Matt of course couldn't stop laughing! she gave my book back and sent us on our way. It was freaky and cool all at the same time if you know what I mean...
I guess we stereo type people into what we think they should be like nun's are all penguin suits and head cloths and rosaries because she wasn't what I thought she would be like and let me tell you Sister Mary inspired me to write a very long piece Izzy is not going to like at all but that's what I live for so hey!!
i thought I should write that to you because it's sort of interesting...
So I'll see you
