A few weeks back, me and Aimee had to go to this thing called Pre-Cana. It's basically a forum provided by the Catholic Church to tell you everything you've done is wrong, that your marriage is probably going to fail, and that the only form of birth control you can practice which will NOT result in you burning in hellfire is Natural Family Planning. NFP is also what you use to accidentally have 15 children that you won't be able to properly provide for. I'm fairly certain that the people on Little House On The Prarie, The Waltons, Eight Is Enough, and Step By Step used it - thus they've properly earned their spot in Haites.
We were yelled at by a Deacon, listened to cute little anecdotes from a recently married couple, and watched a video that more-or-less drove home the point that "85% of couples who live together before marriage end up in divorce". In fact, I believe that was the title of the film. How awesome is that? Just 15% make it out. After it was all over, I think we were convinced to just keep living together instead of get married. I'd think that more than 15% of the hillbillies I see on Fox's COPS TV program are probably "common-law married" (which I believe takes 7 years... quite a commitment our toothless neighbors have made).
So then they get up and start talking about some sort of other business. We'd stopped and bought some little notebooks on our way because they said to bring writing materials. Sometime during somebody's rant, I drew the following:


(NOTE: Copy and Pasted from my Myspace Blog. Remind me when you read this, and I'll take the time to go and find the files and put them up here.)




I think "Mr. Sun" is my favorite. Either way, we broke for lunch and when we got back - all the seats in the back were taken. We had to sit in the front which meant the lector would be able to see me making art. Instead I had to think up little scenes in my head, like what would happen if I started choking or just stood up and fell on the ground convulsing. I'm sure an ambulance would be called. Then I'd stand up and go "Oh man, I was just kidding! Awwww Damn! I SOOOO got you guys... weeee!" I'd probably be cursed for starting a scene in the Catholic Life Center.
I'm gonna just go and crash the next one they have. Who's with me?
