My newest blog

I already have a myspace blog, but that's my really personal, informal one, and this one I want to be a bit more formal and a bit more focused on my faith (Unlike my other blogspot blog, which is silly and you can find it under my profile). I like to write about lots of things, but my faith is the one that tops my list. Last semester, my social psych teacher asked us to name the first thing that defines us. I said Catholic, which about sums up my life. Yes, I am absolutely, 100% Catholic, born and raised, though I didn't get confirmed until 9 days after my 21st birthday. I'm 26 now, for those who are curious. I have conective tissue diseases and fibromyalgia, which is part of the reason I'ms till in school. A large part actually. I'm back as a full time student, and I eventually hope to be a psychiatrist. As much as it's within my control, my illnesses will not get in my way. Illness...is sort of Carmelite. I want to eventually be a lay Carmelite. I love going to Mass, love taking communion, love being a lector, love being an EM, love singing in the choir, love helping out with the hospitality...ok so I love everything to do with my church. I am 100% rooted in Holy Cross. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else other than for a visit. I was baptized there as a baby. It's part of a tri-parish community is south Baltimore. We just got a new associate pastor, Fr John. I miss Fr Steve, though, which is normal. Someone isn't part of your life for three years without that person's absence being noticed. He's not that far away, so it's not like we'll never see him again. I'm president of the Catholic group at my university. (You can even check out the website if you want: http://catholicfaithorganization.bravehost.com.) I'm single, which I don't really mind, though I suppose it would be nice to have someone to love other than my sweet but naughty pug, Jordan. I'm Irish, which people can usually tell by looking, though some also pick up on the German side of my heritage as well. My last immigrant family members came in the late 1800s or early 1900s. I'm third generation American born. Well....that's my intro blog. Talk to y'all later!
Pax,
Lisa
