kimmie's coming over soon to exchange gifts and spend a few wonderful hours with shelley and i.

it will be nice.

because this whole "christmas celebration" thing is nice.

even if i'm not religious.

because people that wouldn't usually be extremely nice to me have been lately. and i feel more connected to random people than i ever have.

because when some random guy with no luggage and a fake passport gets on a plane and tries to blow it up with his shoe, people make things happen. people become heroes without even meaning to.
