omg

ok...so i did pick up a book to read....from my pile of andrew-suggested novels.....mao II by don delillo (2 el's.....)...and i was horrified after the inside-title-page photograph...and the 1st page of prose.....yankee stadium....weddings......moonies.......i had one date when i was 16-17 with a fellow who went to our church.....he was already in college but my parents insisted i go because to decline would make us seem....racist...no- that word was never said...only implied.....he was an adopted child...korean.....very bright...and by this time very unruly......we went canoeing, and i recall the afternoon as awkward at best.......i was far too busy when he called again to set another date......years passed before my mother called to say that he had become a moonie.....and she seemed torn....on one hand her church friends who had raised him were now lost to him....but on the other hand there was this charismatic korean/asian prophet calling his children to him......and so it is said that he married that famous day in yankee stadium....no idea whether his folks attended....at this point i cannot even remember his name and really dont' want to call and ask my mom for fear of her reminding me that we went out...but i digress from the random book i picked up to read......
