Temptation

Sep 20, 2006 | This Life | 16 comments

Oh! Oh! Oh! I cannot explain how hard it was to resist. I needed a password–why not make it good? Look, look, I made you type underpants. Heh.  But then, opportunity led to temptation. I could make my password really heinous. Sin boldly, right? And besides, four lettered words are easy to remember. Oh, how I struggled.

As I was  typing in my fateful choice, I remembered that Margaret would have to type my swear word in order to read and good once again good triumphed over evil. Damn it.

But I thought about being bad; I really, really did.

Evidently, I’m still twelve.

    I am happy to be an inspiration, I think.(?)I really am not that much of a prude–just ask the people I work with. I don’t like the f-word much though; blame the teacher in me!

    I think we should write a sit com called BAD CLERGY. Heh (I’m gonna burn for that)

    Or how about Clergy Behaving Badly. Hmmmm, somehow that’s already probably been done… every Sunday… in a fair number of churches… but I digress…

    See–you are going to burn, too. We can burn together. Ok, that sounds bad.

  12. IZ on 21 September, 2006 at 12:47 am

    lol – yeah – it sounds bad alright. Burn, baby, burn!

    OH, hardly. She’s a GOOD clergy person. I was thinking Nip Tuck meets Seminary. You know, with a “Friends” kind of cast. We could get Aaron Sorkin to direct. PLAY along. Who do you want to be cast as you?

    well, right now “supernanny” comes to mind. i’d say janine garofalo except that she’s all petite and such.
