I have been talking to Theology Guy/The Minister quite extensively since our date the other night and we get into some great conversations (for example, right now he's teaching me how to speak vietnamese via instant messenger, but that's a story for another time). I will fully admit that sometimes I really don't like the telephone. You can't see the person you're talking to and even tone of voice and inflection is hard. Instant messenger has the same problem, only many more barriers because you cannot hear the other person. Somehow or another we make it interesting. This evening we were discussing my post about the date and the reaction that people have had to said evening. I told him that I told a co-worker (Jill) about the date and that he had kissed me and it was great and then I found out a couple days later he works as a minister and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Jill's reaction was priceless:
Me: I'm really excited because it's honestly the first introduction to someone that's well educated about a lot of different religious information and particularly the jesuit side and very informational without seeming zealous, I don't think I've ever met a minister I didn't feel intimidated by"
Jill: What?! He's a minister and he just busted out and kissed you? Do ALL minister's do that?! Ask him that for me.
I laughed so hard I almost died
Theology Guy's reaction to that?
Theology Guy: lol, I'm a regular guy. Not studying to be a priest or anything
Me: I told her this. I said "Jill, he's not a priest"
TG: lol. "He straight up Thorn Birded you?"
After I stopped rolling around laughing I explained to him that he is the first minister I've ever met that hasn't tried to convert me the minute they found out I didn't have a religion (Thanks so much conservative Eastern Washington). No way would I ever expect any "Thorn Birding" to be happening.
Theology Guy: I love how we've made The Thorn Birds into a verb.
All Richard Chamberlin references aside, I gotta say this dude is pretty damn hip. I may need to take a little road trip down to California (Hey Lulu, be prepared) get my mind off of bank security and get my thorn on...
