I'm fighting for you and though I know why, I wonder why it's so important. I wonder if it's really about you or me or... just that I am having issues with judgement. I'm arguing with one of my really good friends about you, of all people, defending you. And I'm not exaggerating or omitting. I'm representing things as I clearly see them. And it's essentially about how everyone has things you don't like about them, whether it's activities in which they partake, behaviors they practice, or ideas they hold dear.

It's about how no one's perfect, but I think I'm beginning to understand that friendships is about accepting those things in others. Not backing down on your own quirks or ideas, but accepting them in the other.

And I'm defending you because she just doesn't... know you well enough to dislike you. It's blind dislike, like that I have for Chem girl, who is probably someone I wouldn't have a problem with if we'd met under different circumstances. And it bothers me, because though I don't know you completely, no one does or ever will, I feel I know you well enough to say that you aren't bad enough to warrant instant dislike.
