It is Done

Well, the one-woman silent protest/rosary vigil went without a hitch, aside from the door to the cinema not being unlocked and the manager who opened the door for me asking if I had a pre-ordered ticket. I told him "No, I'm just waiting." and internally added, Waiting for the damn movie to come out on DVD, or for it to turn up at the dollar theater. Waiting for the copy of the Damned Book to show up in the mail. Waiting for the Second Coming, because at this point, only Christ Himself can sort this mess out, and let everyone know that He and Mary Magdalen were just friends.

And let me tell you, I must have merited some grace there, hopefully enough to put some counterweight on the balance: praying 20 decades of the rosary in a cinema lobby on a Friday morning is a hassle. Especially when you have that hearing quirk where you hear too well and you can't filter out background racket easily. But I managed to accomplish what I set out to do, and this without getting tagged for loitering.

Oh, and I used one of those discreet, flat ring-shaped one-decade rosarys, the kind that are really easy to hide in your hand, like the one in my brand-new usericon. I like to think of it as a shuriken in the spiritual warfare going on....

"I like to think of it as a shuriken in the spiritual warfare going on...." I like that, it almost makes me want one of those small rosarys. But really, wouldn't it have been more enjoyable to use one of those huge 45" rosarys the nuns wear?

I used to have ne just like it. I should get another one. I don't say the Rosary but I say a couple Chaplets now and again. Its a good thing to have :)

I actually love those big ones, but they're best used at home, in my opinion. Wonder if using a "spiritual shuriken" makes me a ninja in the spiritual war?

You could get lost in one of those 45" rosarys! They're great for nuns or other religious to wear but they aren't very conventional for the average layman. I would have to agree; great for use at home.

I would have to say no on being a spiritual ninja, since the shuriken was only one of many weapons a ninja may be proficient with. It would be a different story if you had some kind of spiritual ninja-to, but for now you may have to settle with non-ninja status.

A spiritual shuriken, I like that.
