I'm going to start referring to a single piece of macaroni as 'a macaronus' to see if anyone notices.

When you see one sing, "Aaaa macaronus!" at the top of your lungs.

Sometimes I imagine I'm talking to my old friends, who i no longer keep in contact with, or I'll imagine I'm being interviewed and answering questions. In both scenarios, I always present myself as being funny and cool. Is this strange?

Not all that strange. It’s a fairly well-known phenomenon called ‘imagination’.

OMG - granddaughter number 2 just posted a picture of herself on FB.  If I hadn't noticed that it was her account, I'd have sworn it was her mother (my younger daughter).  Holy crap.  I knew she resembled her mom a lot...she's turned into a clone.

The word "catholic" means "universal"......is the Catholic Church not the true universal church? I mean, it's in the name. But maybe it's not. Then what is? Orthodox seems like a rip off of Catholicism, and Protestantism is weak, diluted shit. The Vatican is very powerful, whether you agree with the Pope's rulings or not. Maybe if I lived in some other country, where Catholicism was dominant, I would still be a Catholic. Perhaps I wouldn't have much of a choice? But that wouldn't be so bad......I think freedom/choice is overrated. I think a lot of people abuse their freedom, and it leads to disastrous consequences. Liberals have too much freedom, they're pushing some weak shit in many countries. I would hate to see America fall to Liberalism. I'm not a full blown Conservative, but I definitely think the Conservative perspective is much more intelligent than the Liberal outlook on things.

I always thought "Catholic" meant - "I'll pull out before I'm done....."

And yet the word "orthodox" in Orthodox Church means "true Church" as in actual or real Christians. So how does one decide between universal and true?

I remember listening to Francis Coppola's commentary on the "Dracula" DVD where he said something like how Orthodox Christianity is more true and closer to Jesus and early Christians.
