Up with people.
At Kommittee, people arranged for there to be a discussion last night about the artistic qualities of the naked mural and about community standards. I don't really care much about the "what is art" question, but I thought I should really show up, because detonating the petition and walking away seemed rude at best. I actually felt like some good discussion happened, which I confess I wasn't expecting. And I got to apologize to Gaea for doing this while she was gone. Insulted Mary without meaning to, but I apologized to her for that today. My favorite thing that I said, while we were talking about respecting and liking each other as a community, was "I honestly pretty much like everyone in this room, even if you don't make me consistently happy." Chelsea said that was the best way of putting it she'd ever heard. Thing is, I thought about it later, and I was telling the truth. I am capable of liking people even if I don't like some of the things they do. I enjoy being able to walk down the hall, see someone, and think "Yeah, he/she is a cool guy in his/her own way." And I feel like increasingly, that's exactly what I do. So, yeah. People probably don't believe me, but I am sincere in this.
