merely talk

My darling friend Matt came over for dinner tonight armed with Tiramisu and wine. Making him one of my favourite people in the world. And he liked my lasagna thus elevating him in my eyes. Really anyone who knows me understands that flattery will get you everywhere.

We made an impromptu call to Katty all the way in Texas which was awesome. She's great and was super happy to hear from us. And I got to hear all about her new boy which is very exciting. I love the start of relationships, the whole getting to know you process. It's so butterflies in the stomach good, I miss it a little. Of course I suppose long term relationships are technically better. The whole knowing the other person better than yourself. But I miss the nervousness and the excitement.

Sigh.

Sunday was a good day. Anna came over, and my little brother stopped by briefly. He looked so old I couldn't believe it. I mean it's been maybe 7 weeks since I last saw him, but his hair had grown and he'd been hitting the gym and I realized that my little brother was in actual fact and adult. Scary no? Not to mention that if I didn't know better I'd think he was 25 or 26, NOT 18. It's crazy.

Anyway on an entirely different subject, for the first time in my life I'm wishing I was American, so I could vote in the upcoming election. See the thing is since the good ole US of A is such a world power, this election not only effects American citizens but a good chunk of the rest of the world. Including Canada. Yet only Americans can make this decision. I'm just hoping and praying that they get rid of the current administration. And I feel so helpless because other than urging them to vote it's completely out of my hands and there is nothing I can do. And try as I might I can't understand why Bush is in the lead. 'Cause that mans policies seem to indicate a intense hatred of Gays, Lesbians, Women, Blacks, Hispanics, and pretty much anyone who isn't an old, rich, white, Christian male. How is this a good thing? Well I guess it's good if you are an old, rich, white, Christian male, but I think that everyone else combined would overpower the old, rich, white, Christian male minority. So um, vote please.
