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.

I think it's because you're drawn to opinionated people, because they're interesting and you're open-minded (just like the strippers like (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rw_conspiracy/71201.html)). But opinionated people don't always get along. So you end up with a lot of friends that don't necessarily like each other.

I have the same problem to a certain extent. I think it's a good thing... to know that I don't just have friends that are exactly like me.

Oooh! Oooh! Since I'm Person B, I know who Person A is!

And you misquoted me. You were all about liking Person A, but since you were grossly ignorant of something regarding him, I concluded that you can't really pay that much attention to him.

And, Will, dude, what is it with you and strippers? I mean, honestly, if I was naive and looking to find Jesus, you'd kinda set a nonBiblical example, y'know? I'm just curious.
