i've met a grand assortment of crazies (my absolute favorite) and discovered interesting points concerning my beloved friends. you think you have a person figured out, but considering one can hardly know oneself, how can you expect to be the expert? being aware of idiosyncricies and habits paints a harsh portrait - only a fraction of the beauty a person embodies. lumping people into categories like food groups seems acceptable under certain circumstances, but proves to alienate & isolate in retrospect. interests & beliefs (whether political, religious or otherwise) should not limit orseleves to experiencing another's point of view or prevent us from sharing our moment with the universe, as a whole. likes and dislikes are merely for entertainment and should not be used as a rating system or as judgment on an individual.
i don't want to be the sheep herder, yet the four-legged ones follow. i understand that many younger friends like to dress up and explore different aspects of a variety of subcultures...but i'd love it if everyone could branch out from what is 'accepted' among their usual compnaions. keep in mind, your mind. :D
