the thorn birds

i saw 'keeping the faith' on channel 5- while carol & verrell slept- i lay on my parents' bed, watching faithfully in the dark.

what a strange concept. falling for a priest/rabbi.

i wouldn't completely cross that off my list of 'things-to-do' though *wink* knowing myself, i'm prone to such 'inappropriate thoughts & behaviour' and my tendency to lean in that direction.. well, it's pretty high. given that the priest/rabbi in question is HOT. heh.

God must see me in a whole new light now.
i'm sorry God, but i felt it was my responsibility to address the question.

boy oh boy do i feel like saying,
"forgive me father, for i have sinned."

i am not out to mock the christian faith, it was not my intention at all. it's just that one must thread carefully when addressing a touchy subject such as this.

o-kay. leaving religion aside for a second.. well, it DOES seem highly impossible when the subject is a priest. i do not consider myself to be highly religious. i believe in my god buddha and i believe that the gods of other faiths do exist. in fact, i believe that we co-exist on earth. but i also believe in a universal god- i lie horizontally on my bed, facing the sky; which is where i assume he is- and i talk to god. in the manner which most people use when talking to a parent.

i recall super vividly in secondary school, we would have mass quite often throughout the academic year and two sec 4 classes would be in charge of organising one mass. they would invite a priest to hold it and there was this one priest.. i forgot his name but he was H-O-T HOT!!! not sizzling hot, but nonetheless H-O-T.

it suddenly brings me back to this film starring richard chamberlain called 'the thorn birds'. quite a controversial film, i think. i remember watching it when i was quite young and it was about the love affair between a priest and a girl he used to look after. he was very close to this family, and had a special fondness for their little girl maggie. the years went by, maggie got married, but they never lost that special feeling. that love for one another. and so the story goes.

anyway. my friends sheryl and leonie ALWAYS (he came several times) were aghast at the concept of me finding a father hot. to them, he was holy religious figure- not that i disregard religion. i don't!- and to me, beauty should not be denied. it's NOT some sick thing. if a person is good-looking, you say so. there's no need to hide it, i bet even HE knows. (that he's handsome)

he was JUST like richard chamberlain, minus the gay factor. he had broad broad shoulders and a strong deep voice. he was very tall, he easily towered above everyone else. even though he had streaks of grey in his hair, he was a formidable figure. he had muscular arms and a nice silhouette. even though his masses were boring compared to other priests, he was nice to look at. but he was quite old.. in his mid 40s.

MOVING ON.
[i can see the frowning faces of disapproval already]

it's that time of the night/morning for revelations.

thought of the day: it's liberating to prance around in my underwear.
