Because books.

I'm so used to the meetings in this area of PA, and the many many Friends schools, that if you said that to me, I'd get it.

Yeah, out here it is a little more familiar. In NM? NSM. It occurs to me I don't hear "the mosque/temple I grew up in" really. But that could be my sample size. And the fact there was one temple in my hometown. And if there was a mosque...well, probably was one on campus, but I actually didn't know of one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, James, oh.

The church I grew up in

It sounds a little strange to me, but I know what you mean. Growing up Catholic, not a lot of church shopping goes on (unless you're looking for the latest mass possible.)

I don't know, my town had the Irish Catholic church and the Polish Catholic church (although the only question that mattered was whether you went to the 1st Congregationalist or not).

Wow. His eyes are really fabulous there. And his mouth.

(unless you're looking for the latest mass possible.)

Saturday 5 p.m. mass was big in my town, because once you were in high school, you could go, grab a bulletin, hang out somewhere until after 6, and then go home and wave the bulletin at your parents.

I had a lot of Catholic friends with gullible parents.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The church I grew up in

It makes sense to me, but then our church was a major part of us kids' lives, with the school being part of it, and also Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, summer camp (which I never went to for some reason), etc....

I can't be the only one who clicked that link and thought "Nora Ephron!" upon seeing the cover photo.

Wow, he makes a very credible drag queen. I wish they'd used him instead of Stephen Dorf as Candy Darling.
