Interesting People

It's funny how many different kinds of people there are in the world. I've met people who can't stand heavy metal music and people who think that any other kind, like classical, isn't worth the time. I've met people who have strong opinions on anything whatsoever ("Do you have a strong opinion about this floor?" "Yeah. Those yellow tiles are ugly.") and people who just chill, you know, don't really care. Then there are a bunch of other contrasts.
For instance, tonight at youth group I was watching a ping-pong game between a friend of mine and a boy who was new to youth group. The new boy accidentally bonked me on the head with his ping-pong paddle, causing a momentary disturbance that resulted in the ball finding its way into the garbage can.
After the apology and all that, he stuck out his hand, told me his name, I told him mine and we launched into a conversation about how long each of us had been at the church (he's new to it and I grew up there) and how he came to be there and how he and his sister had come to Christianity. The conversation was extremely fast-paced, compared with virtually every other first conversation I have had with everyone else I know.
Well, I enjoyed it because I love to make friends and I love to make friends with people who also love to make friends, and maybe it is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
