So today is Ash Wednesday, and sorry to offend any of my Catholic friends, but this holiday gives me the willies. Basically you're just going along and then all of a sudden all these people show up with crosses on their foreheads. It's like something out of a zombie movie or cult film. My first reaction is "what the!?" followed by an "oh riiiiight."
It didn't creep me out so much this year because I was so aware that Mardi Gras was yesterday, but I usually find it startling.
