Baptism

Me to all my friends, including Azra and Imran:
"Hey, guess what?"

Them: "What?" (most were probably thinking that I had gotten news from harvard, or that I had finally accomplished to trick some poor unsuspecting foolish boy to pretend to be my boyfriend.)

Me in corny exclamation: "I'm getting...(pause for dramatic effect)..baptized!"

Them, and I mean all of them (probably in some sort of unison, except that they're all sprawled out across the country/ world and it was on different days) (and in case you are forgetful, that also includes Azra and Imran, my blood):
"Yeah? Aren't you already baptized?"

The same exact phrase from everyone. No one jumped up and down. Well, actually, that's not all true-- Rashika did a better job at responding, I have to give her credit. But the rest of you...! tsk tsk!

So, I did it today, in a pool--a mighty warm soothing pool.

I suppose I'll give you some more detail later. This is just for the record.

G'nite for now, since I'm exhausted.
