Funeral's done. No drama about the gender stuff there, thankfully.

The longest part was the Catholic Mass. Damn but religion takes a while to happen. I kept on being faintly paranoid that there would be censure for me being right at the front and not participating beyond standing and sitting when everyone else did; I'm not any flavor of Christian. Stand up, sit down. Stand up, sit down. Repeat the programmed phases. For a while I started kinda dissecting it from a NLP perspective, but it just kept on going.

Mina is in the ground and I managed to get through an experience that feels designed to try and make you miserable while still being pretty perky. Hooray!

We got donuts on the way back. And then I opened up my email to find someone saying that my Tarot deck looks like "something Shag / Foglio would draw after a night out drinking with Alan Moore", which made me laugh and smile. I can get back to them soon, too!

Oh yes.. I recently went to one when my moms-partners-dad died earlier this year.. Apparently he got the 'high mass'. Three priests, communion, and a lot of sore knees.

No matter the mixed feelings, the ceremonies in religion can be just pretty fascinating..

my grammar is imploding!

I think the construction you had to make in first paragraph kinda broke your grammar generator for the rest of the reply! I managed to parse it anyway.

Indeed, the construction of that post looked like something I would write. :)

I made a change to the sentance without really paying attention to what it would do the structure. Sigh :) *embarassed*
