Once more, the lovely and talented Kendra has asked us all to chime in with our answers to some questions, which provides me with a blogging theme for today. Thanks very much, Kendra!
1. Do you hate happy clappy church music?
Mostly I do. There are some new-fangled hymns that I like, but mostly the syncopation and other weirdness drives me mad. I mean, it is apparently not even possible for accompanists to play and choir directors to conduct Be Not Afraid as written, and there are a bazillion ways to do it otherwise. This is painful for me, because I'm a prescriptivist when it comes to music that is written down, though I'm fine with performing it some other way if I'm told to do so. This makes it kind of a penance for me to sing at my parish's 10 o'clock Mass, but it's where God seems to have called me, so there you are.
2. What is your priority: eating or sleeping?
Sleeping. Definitely. Ohhhhhhhh man, I love to sleep!
3. What type of milk do you drink in your house?
These days, I mostly drink whole milk, because it is sooooo delicious and there is recent research that says it is better for you than skim. I would like to believe that. Also, I occasionally sneak cream as a beverage or cereal mix-in. Mmmmmmmm, fat. Allllllll the fat, to Rosie's dismay yesterday when I scarfed some ham fat that she had carefully sliced off the Easter ham.
4. What is a book that changed your perspective on something?
The Great Divorce by (St.) C. S. Lewis. Love that book. It seems to me to be the way things must or ought to be.
5. Who is your favorite saint?
Probably St. Christopher, who has been with me since my childhood and who is my confirmation saint. But I'm fond of many others. St. Maximilian Kolbe has an awesome story. There are others, too.
6. Introvert or extrovert?
Introvert all the way. I need lots of time alone to recharge. This can be a problem.
