(The telling of it, not the living of it). I was born Catholic and went to a Catholic school for 3 years. After I left, the school was shut down because a monk-in-training murdered one of the nuns who taught there. True story. Did I mention that I'm a "devout" atheist now? What a great story! (The telling of it, not the living of it).

Did I mention that I’m a “devout” atheist now?

I forgot to add that according to my friend, St. Joan of Art who I had lunch with two weeks ago, they closed the library the next year and now there isn't anyone purchasing, keeping track of, or taking care of books. A parent volunteer comes in once a month to re-shelve. The school is going into the gutter! HOORAY! Thank you so much for all your comments everyone!

You should talk to my husband whose high school went through 4 math teachers in 2 years. Hoooray Catholic schools! This story sounds awfully familiar.

Sorry that caused so much suckage in your life at the time, but it really made for a great story and, man, you have to be so glad you got out when you did. I can't believe you stuck with it for so long! Hmmm. This is your second reference to sacrificing kittens in one day, first at crissyspage and then here. All I'm saying is, hmmm. And maybe, kittens beware. Awesome writing. Sorry that caused so much suckage in your life at the time, but it really made for a great story and, man, you have to be so glad you got out when you did.

It's almost comforting (to me, as an outsider) to see how fucked you were from the beginning, so you don't have to worry that you should have just tried harder. If it had been more subtle and drawn out, you might have spent several therapy-inducing years there thinking it was your fault. Well good on you for trying despite all the bullshit.
