we went to 7 am mass as usual. Got my ashes went to school, got mocked at by one kid, made fun of by another, stared at a whole lot (hey, you have dirt on your face), and asked "why do you have dirt on your face?" a few times. I don't mind explaining it though, i mean, it's better that they know than thinking i'm looking like a fool for no reason.
The one kid that made fun of me didn't know it was a religious thing, so i was nice to him. He started yelling behind me "hey, i want a black x like that! what is she trying to do? be goth?!?" so i nicely turned around and explained what it meant, and he nicely shut up :-)
BUT this one girl i didn't even bother with. I don't like her to begin with, but i had to play badmitten against her in gym today. She looked at me and goes "Oh, i forgot it was Ash Wednesday, I was going to put a pentogram on my foorehead." OK, #1. If you're truely Wiccan, then you know that one of your main beliefs is respecting other religions. #2. Saying you're going to put a pentogram on your foorehead just to spite my religion is not following your own religion, and you look like more of a fool than i do.
I just ignored her. Some people, you just can't un-ignorant-ize. ooh i made up a new word :-P
