Catherine time makes everything better. I should remember this the next time I am all freaked out over some philosophical thing: there are things greater than all that, and my friendship with her is one of them.
I got to her house at about 9:30 last night. She showed off her new laptop (he has been named Balthazar, snicker), and then we made popcorn and watched Circle. Eddie Izzard makes everything better too.
Today I got sucked into going to a Southern Arizona Democrats tea party. I met this awesome lady named Rafaela who grew up in the border town of Douglas and came back to this area after college to Make a Difference. Almost makes me want to do it myself. Also, damn, young Kerry could speak. I'd be the first to admit I don't know much about politics, but I know about oratory, and... wow. Especially in comparison to Bush's speeches, which invariably make me want to a) bang my head on something and b) get a job as a speechwriter, because I swear I could do better than that.
Now Catherine and I are going to the mall so she can buy the Boots of Doom, and later we'll have dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, which we will both miss when we're at college. I feel much happier.
