    I'm going to guess your mom is kinda crazy.

good guess.

I also like what you're saying for the most part so thank you for calling me on my shit. However, I'd like to pitch you the question of how you can determine who's crazy and who's not, if you're looking for the opposite in everyone. All of a sudden you're digging for traits that aren't really there, trying to craft a girl you like out of someone who is in reality the absolute opposite.

I can tell a girl who's into pop country that she has a unique and cool taste in music. I did once, and she totally didn't see through my effort to hold back cocking a gun against my own head after I said that. But then if I say, "I really like that you're into all sorts of music," that's just a lie and she knows it; she doesn't want to be into all sorts of music. She's daft. So why should I tell every Mary Poppins that I like her swag? Is she not capable of learning and exhibiting the traits she likes, and eliminating the ones she doesn't on her own?
