catherine is neato

she left a message on my voicemail while i was in the subway in new york on wednesday night. it started off ok, but as i was listening to it, i remember thinking, "haha, she's so terrible at leaving messages. she's trailing off again!" that was about half a second before she started giggling during her message as she realized the same thing. i thought that was great.

also, everyone else seems to find the idea of me being a high school teacher ludicrous. something about fragile egos and whatnot. when i told catherine about the test she said i'd be a really good teacher! and when i told her that everyone says i'll be mean, she said, "only to the ones who deserve it," which is exactly how i'd do it. she also said i'd be engaging. maybe because of my hand gestures? that was really nice.

i think i've run out of good things to say about her.
