OK this might be completely politically incorrect, but I'm going to just come right out and say it:
I REALLY LIKE PEOPLE
I mean, I could be fashionably cynical. I could be beatnik and savvy. I could be witty, dammit.
But, just for today, I think I'm going to enjoy liking people. Don't get me wrong; lots of people annoy me, or make me feel uncomfortable. Some people I would rather not spend too much time with. But really, when I'm forced, for whatever reason, to spend time with them, and if I pay attention, it's just really hard not to like them. I think people are just plain likeable.
I bet if I was forced to share a cell with the Burnies, or Osama bin Laden, or George W Bush, or even Oprah, I bet I would like them.
And don't think I'm being all special or anything, because, hey, if I was sharing a cell with ANY of them, that would just prove I'm a criminal. Obviously.

"...or even Oprah."
How can you dis that woman, woman? That is almost sacrilege.
She's just too nice to be nice, you know? Like Dolly Parton (acting, not singing; love the singing) and Robin Williams (acting). There's just something so crap about their DELIBERATE likeableness. I like people's accidental likeableness - the likeableness they are embarrased about and try to hide because it's not cool.
