Catherine. 17 years old. Policy wonk. Classics nerd. Atheist. Bleeding-heart liberal and progressive.
I am obsessed with rock and punk music, the Classics, men in well-fitted suits, politics, and history. Oh, and whatever fandom has currently captured my heart.
You and I might not agree, but I will never back down.

Now that I am 18
I can actually donate to campaigns instead of just buying their bumper stickers.
Awesome: Obama writes absence note for fifth-grader
Missing school to see the president? Be sure you get one of these. Ryan Sullivan, an employee at a Honeywell plant in Minnesota, got the chance to introduce Barack Obama Friday, which led to his fifth-grade son, Tyler, missing school. Fortunately, Barack came though with this. Awesome. (thanks HyperVocal, which is also on Tumblr)
Graduating today
