It seems like a perfectly logical/normal thing to want to be around people who inspire/stimulate/delight you. Making contact with people that are good for your brain/psyche is a healthy thing, I think. Sometimes that has backfired with me, though, because (especially if the person is of the opposite sex) they think I'm coming on to them, when what I really want is to share the intellectual or perceptual part of them. Believe me, I have run off some people that could've been good friends, and I regret that, but am not sure how to fix it. So now I am more careful how I approach certain folks whose company I would really like to share . . . less impulsive, I guess. This situation brings up lots of questions for me, like lifestyle, relationships, community, risk-taking, self-perception, etc. I wish you were still close by to talk about these things as they crop up, because this is interesting stuff.
