To think, girls, I was raised to be Jennifer Jones in "The Song Of Bernadette," only to turn out more like her, as Pearl Chavez in "Duel In The Sun."
"Built by the Devil, to drive men crazy!" Or, so it went, during my youth.
I recall the dilemma I faced that morning, a Saturday. Channel 9 was showing "Godzilla" (ie. "Gojira") on "Super Adventure Theater," and I had yet to see it. My paents had to fight with me, to get into the car.
But it was worth it. If only I had lived up to the promise of the Catholicism I was raised on.
Alas, I became myself--an intelligent raving queen, and all that entails.
Heaven have mercy on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trust me, you Exceeded the promises of Catholicism!!
