So there is this great blog called the Catholic Nerd Blog (http://catholicnerd.blogspot.com/). I want to pay a little tribute to this very amusing blog by posting a few Catholic "nerdisms" of my own. Here goes!
You know you are a Catholic nerd when...
You call the mass of Pope Pius V the "Trid," or the "Tridi."
You call attending two masses in one day "double dipping."
You can't find a date because all of your male friends plan on entering the clergy.
One of your good friends is more excited about his custom-made cassock than anything else that has happened to him this year...and he's not in the clergy.
Your friend calls you on Saturday night and says, "Hey, want to go to Confession? Bring some friends."
You'd have nothing to do on Friday night if you didn't attend 11:15 pm mass, because all of your friends are there already.
The words "heretic" and "infidel" are a regular part of your vocabulary.
You refer to your Presbyterian friends as "the Protestants."
You can't get through a dinner party without bringing up at least one of the Saints.
You question the morality of 'premarital spooning.'
You use your personal key to your school's chapel to go pray at two thirty in the morning...and you run into somebody you know.
Two of your friends are serving at mass. Friend 1 turns to Friend 2: I think that girl didn't consume the host! Friend 2 looks horrified, and sprints up the aisle after the girl. Turns out she did consume, after all, but you can never be too sure...
Such is my life, people.

you forgot:
when you are at a Holiday party where everyone haivng a great time when suddenly the 11:00pm bell tolls..and half the party leaves to go to mass.
your dance floor is supervised by the founder of the knights of Columbus and the late Pope John Paul II.
You start dancing too close at one of their parties and you hear the inevitable "Hey, make some room for the Holy Spirit!"
there is a group of your friends gathered around a Keg...along with a Jesuit...who happens to be a theology teacher...whose class 75% of the people around the Keg are taking.
two words: vocation crisis. Dating just got a whole sh*tload more complicated
you have a poster of the popes on your dorm room wall
you have been to mass up to 9 times in a week
you find yourself beginning to hum gregorian chants...as you work on your economic problem sets
every conversation you partake in eventually degenerates into a discussion about the Church and/or the Faith. Every...single...one.
you fight over the thurible.
you consider any solemn Mass procession consisting of less that 10 servers a failure.
