The whole fashion thing seems strange to me too, but some girls want to talk about many, many things besides boots. And I'm totally with you on the "time" thing. Everyone really does have time, to do whatever. "I don't have time to..." is almost always code for "I just don't care enough to actually do it."

People sit around, then they sing old religious songs out of a book while someone plays the piano or a chorus of old white people sings. Then the minister, dressed in white robes and various colorful shawls, talks about the bible and what it means in real life. Then he reads announcements about church members. Then everyone shakes hands and talks for a while, while the minister stands next to the door and thanks people for coming. About once a month, there's a break for communion, where those who want to get in line for grape juice and crackers. It's up to you whether you take the grape juice and crackers, and whether you read any deeper meaning into this act. My grandparents made me go to church.

Emily asked if I was going to meet up with you on my last visit to NYC and I said that if I saw you I'd run really fast in the opposite direction. And I mean that in the nicest way.

I saw a standing ovation once when the preacher got so moved that he passed out himself. They only clap if it’s a really really good service where people faint from the spirit.
