I have a lot of friends with very diverse interests. Some are really conservative, some are creative types, some are a bit shady at times and reliable at other times...I've been friends with a lot of different people from different cultures, countries and backgrounds. Some of my friends are geeks, some of them are socialites, I surprisingly even have a few hipsters around, but I love my friends.

Sometimes I wonder why I like the people I like...and then I realize I like anyone that I think I can trust, even a little bit. It's a hard thing to learn, but once you realize that people are not there to
