Did you hear that? That's the sound of a tiny noisemaker in my mind celebrating the one full year that I have piddled away my time by writing nonsense and somesense here at Dirty Catholic.
If you would have asked me a year ago what this site would look like by now, I'd probably have told you that I learned to write code, bought Adobe Photoshop, and finally made a masthead that reflects what I really mean by "Dirty Catholic." But alas, I have not.
Nor have I told anyone at my parish about this site, which is a miracle in itself.
In the last year I have decided that I would rather write a blog than finish an MA Thesis in Liturgy. I have enjoyed this creative outlet when the sheer administrative drudgery of my "ministerial" job has made me want to tear out my fingernails. I have learned to negotiate the landmines of internet weirdos by ignoring them.
Maybe next year I will learn code and get all artsy-fartsy with the photos. Or maybe I'll just work on using grammar and punctuation that doesn't make my in-laws cringe. Let's just wait and see, shall we?
i, for one, am happy you are here. you have made me laugh during some of my darkest moments and keep other moments very light and easy for me. pretty cool, you.
happy blogiversary :)
