Emily

While Emily is writing short biographies of the people we're most likely to talk about on this blog, I'm going to give you a short introduction to my co-Author and the person who had the inspiration to start this blog.

So, here we go.


Good looking, witty and intelligent, Emily's friends support her through trials such as living in that other diocese and explaining to her family her life choices (such as donning a mantilla.) Emily shares many of the same æsthetic qualities as her aforementioned friends and, unlike Nicky, Emily is both a girl and especially blond .

What is more, Emily's cry of "That sounds like a great idea!" lead to the formation of our group. Her willingness to come on a bar stroll (it's like a pub crawl on which one only visits classy establishments and does not imbibe alcohol) and our shared ability to miss the last train lead to our unashamed camping out in the SBG Adoration Chapel one Monday night.

Her uncanny ability to be a member of this group and not be male makes her the ideal person to take a turn around the block with, and allows us to share conversations that, well, the others just wouldn't get. It's a girl thing.

A wonderful sister in Christ, we are blessed to have Emily as group-biographer, Official Blogger, especially as she is - hands down - the best Presbytery Kitchen Cleanerer; and I am blessed to have her as a friend.

New Year Resolution

Either

• Sleep more

or

• Spend more time in Adoration

There is no other option.
I may as well spend hours without sleep in His presence, since someone in our group already does this whenever he's in the Chapel. Or Mass. Or praying the Rosary.

Sic non potuistis una hora vigilare mecum?

My friends and I need to sleep more.

Too often do I fall asleep in Adoration. Our crazy, unofficial Horarum leaves me - and I think most of us - lacking in sleep. My goal for the week after exams: do up a more official, personal Horarum that actually allows for sleep that doesn't take place during Adoration.
