The Bipolar Otaku

Yup, another Sunday filled from morning to evening with church stuff. A gradtuation breakfast which I had to help coordinate, a graduation mass which I had to hand out gifts to the graduates, lunch with a bunch of the church crowd, an evening mass which I had to serve communion, then hanging out with another bunch of the church crowd for a few hours.

I thought I had a few things to blog, but I can't remember any more. Somewhere in there I took a nap at my mom's house, which is also when I found out I can't use blogger from my PDA. Bummer....

Although K decided to skip mass today, she also decided not to help out St Columban's... She was thinking about spending the summer months helping them out; a lot of us Core members told her that it sounded like she was being called to help them, but we'd hate to lose her, even for the summer. I told her that if she decided to do it and ever needed help or just wanted company, all she'd have to do is call us. But really, it also sounded like she really needed a break like the rest of us, especially since her work has been getting busier and busier. Besides, this is her first summer after graduating from college, in other words, the first summer she doesn't get a summer break/vacation... there's bound to be a system shock sooner or later. But she skipped mass, probably to hang out and confer with her best friend C (probably because M and I told C that K looked depressed this morning, and I gave a list of reasons why I thought she might have been), and then met up with us at D's house afterward. She did look happier than she did this morning, which is good.

Hanging out at D's house was kind of fun. At least this time I didn't feel so awkward about the crowd, like I usually am... maybe because I actually knew most of the people. I can't really think of anything really substantive or meaningful that happened, but it was fun nonetheless.

At one point in the night, some of them tried to explain that they were Generation Y, and that they only missed the Gen X label by a couple years (ie 2000 grad or earlier)... but then I tried to tell them that Gen X stopped with kids in college when I was in high school (ie 1993 grad or earlier), but I think that they were right that Gen Y didn't start until 2000 or so. Which leaves me as what? I actually thought I was Genereation "Next", actually refering to the part of the post-X generation that was acting on the cutting edge of technology... I don't know. Whatever.
