The post that isn't

This entry has been thwarted twice now, today, because every computer I touch seems to explode.

I'm getting pretty sick of it.

So, the entry that wasn't: I posted the most easily acessible aborted entry that I'd written in the past month, which would be this:

I'm shopping online for rosaries.
I've decided I might become Catholic.
Being sorta raised Baptist, I came to think that Christianity
is a pretty ascetic religion, very bare bones, all about
faith and God.
How boring.
Catholocism though, that's fancy. Even their crosses are
ornate to the point of being ostentatious. And all those
patron saints, all those weird rituals.
Sounds a lot like witchcraft.
Praying the rosary?
How is that not like a spell?
There's two reasons I might want to be Catholic:
I want a rosary (do you wear those around your neck? It looks
like it would be pretty awkward).
I like how "Catholic" sounds. What a pretty word. It tastes
like those candy sticks you're supposed to dip in that colored
sugar, whatever that candy is called (Fun Dip?).
I guess I'm pretty much insane.
Obviously I'd like my rosary to be made of wood, wood is just
more spiritual.
I'm looking at rosaries right now, on some link from what I
guess is the official website of all Catholocism.
Ooh, onyx. I could settle for onyx.
But it's over $200. I'm not going to spend more than $25.
Heh. I could totally buy an official Catholic T-shirt.
Heh. Catholic singles sites.
"Mom please, I already met a nice Catholic guy!"
Where are the religion stores in Athens? Why do I have to shop
for rosaries in the internet and not in real life?
It's not like there's no market for Jesus in the southeastern
United States.
I guess you're supposed to keep rosaries in your pocket.
That's a little disappointing, it would be so much cooler if
they went around your neck.
Whatever. As long as I can bust out a 10 decader and do chop
saki with it.
Hail Mary, full of grace WHAA-TAAAAAAAAA
I'm going to Hell.
I really do want a rosary, I have no idea why.

Ick. This is what they're like before I edit them.
I also posted about how I was buying/reading various points about various religious/mystical...stuff, such as Dianetics and Astronomy, though I didn't really put much stock in them (although the "avatars" in that Astronomy book had some rocking pants.)

I posted about how I'm not in the marching band anymore so I can officially no longer think of myself as a musician, not even a really bad one, and how emo I felt about that.

I posted about how even though I actually have a job I still feel guilty about sitting around on a Sunday. Protestant work ethic, or whatever.

And then I brought up the astrology thing again to make a almost-humorous reference to whom I am/would be compatible to and to whom I am not/would not be, etc.

And then I ended by pretending to identify myself by my half worked out birth chart, also attempting to be funny.

I'm Libra on the cusp of Scorpio if anyone's curious.



And then I tried to post it. Twice. I failed.

And so instead there is this.
