random memory resurfacing
Let A and B be two particular people I know.
At one point, B said to me, "You can't /really/ like A, you're just being blindly open-minded and trying to purvey this image where you like everybody. If you were really paying attention and being honest, you would see that A is upsetting and obnoxious, and you wouldn't like A at all."
And I think I said, at that point, that no, I really did think that A was a pretty cool person. And you know what? I still think that this person A is an entertaining, intelligent, and Deeply Good dude, and that I enjoy being around him!
I was just thinking about that, because I saw him today, and it was fun.
