"Two and a half minutes."

[breakinglight11]

Yesterday was a very excellent day. Got to see flyingstalins, a man I like and admire immensely, went to Ash Wednesday mass and got reminded that I am dust and to dust I shall return, had a lovely rehearsal where not one but two people did the whole, "Come here, you got something on your forehead" joke, and helped Sheena send out his Last Stop character hints.

Upon hearing about flyingstalins' decision to be chrismated in the Antiochan Orthodox church, it made me think of how my mom converted. I asked my mother, who went to Catholicism from the Russian Orthodoxy, how long the process of conversion was. I knew it was very short, I figured it was something like a week. Her answer? "Two and a half minutes." The doctrine is so similar between the two that all she had to swear an oath to the Pope, and boom! Catholic. :-) Needless to say, the process is different depending where you're coming from. 

Hopefully tonight Jared and I will be able to cast Alice. I'm so excited; the hints are all ready to be sent out as soon as we have the parts chosen, to be shortly followed by character sheets. :-) This is going to be great. *bounces*

So, I read what Nat wrote, and I reread what I wrote, and I read what you wrote. And I was just dumb.

I'm sorry. I did not mean to offend. I was conflating a number of issues, some of which are perfectly legitimate and others of which are reflections of my internal prejudice, into an ugly ridiculous mess.
