*I* like you.

[evillurks]

Now what does that say about you?

[metody_green]

That I, my judgments and those I associate with are all of a rare caliber.

[evillurks]

I'm flattered.

For the record, I don't think of you as a freak, either.

[metody_green]

Yay!

I kind of am, I guess. But still.

[evillurks]

You have unusual abilities, but you yourself seem... pleasant. People-oriented. Intelligent but not socially abnormal.

I may be a poor judge of it. I'm a genius with borderline antisocial personality disorder, but I don't mind.

[metody_green]

I had classes on social interaction, actually. I think it helps a lot when you get a great deal of information telling you how to act, and why you should act that way, while you are still in a formative phase.

And thankyou. I have always enjoyed my conversations and time with you.

[evillurks]

Hm. I didn't, but I'm not sure I would have respected the teacher anyway.

Likewise. It's always interesting.

[metody_green]

They were kind of twee, and this is me saying it. But they were what I needed at the time, and there's a respectability in usefulness. Mind you, I learned the more advanced nuances of human interaction from crime shows.

[evillurks]

...Twee?

That can't be healthy, trying to learn about the world from TV.

[metody_green]

Overly sweet. Horribly, horribly, dangerously naive and sweet. I think it's pretty unfair to tell someone with the mind of a child that everyone likes them and wants them to be safe and happy when it's patently untrue.

The crime shows were mostly about teaching me that people aren't all good and nice, in a safe format. I'm not so sure it worked as well as planned.

[evillurks]

Ah. I don't know much about child psychology.

People aren't, but in everyday life the criminals are a minority.
