| Tonight probably wasn't as fun as it could've been, but it wasn't bad. I picked up jami and we waited for jill at st. mike's in brunswic. I guess it was their teen life mass. It was actually pretty cool. No, it wasn't the life changing experience I hope'd it be, but the mass was better than anywhere else I've gone. Besides the whole church, biblical readings, homily, and eucharist thing, it reminded me of the dashboard confessional concerts, where there's a room packed with teens, all singing the lyrics in unison, all connected. I didn't really feel connected though at either the mass or the youth group. I've always had this impression that youth groups were for really nerdy kids who were just brainwashed into brainwashing others, but it wasn't like that tonight. There were actually a lot of people. The only complaint I could have with the experience was what I call thier "cultish" qualities: element of surprise (telling us where to go and what to do but not what's going to happen) and recruitment (I'll just say they strongly urged that I go next week, too). One activity we did was to break up and go into either the community, love, support, or encouragment corners. I went to the community corner where there were only 5 us, and where only two people (including myself) actually had a reason for being there other than they "didn't know where else to go." When they asked me why I was there I think said beause I don't feel like I fit in and I dont feel like my friends understand me. This other kid only said he doesn't have a best friend, but he still seemed..happy? I still feel lonely, but at least I met someone new tonight: "Shay." She's into theater and choir. Before all of this, I went to the mall, but I couldn't bring myself to buy anything but a $4 CD from hot topic. It's actually a great CD. | |
