i think it's hard to befriend somebody really different from yourself - i know i don't do it all that often, either! so i think it makes sense, what you're saying here - you need to get to know somebody on SOME basis, right? like, if you have nothing to talk about... hmmmmm :p
that being said, i do think it's nice to get to know really different people - you get to learn a lot from each other, imo! :)
Yeah, I think for many people in general they'll befriend someone because they have similar interests. I just know for me it's usually because I'm shy so if anyone's doing any approaching, it's the other person. *dies* Though I also know some people who can't stand knowing people too similar to them; it drives them insane. I find that pretty interesting.
I definitely do like knowing a few people different from me because, like you said, they can give you a rather unique perspective you would have normally never thought up.

actually, i feel this way too! the few times i've come across somebody whose personality is a little more similar to mine, i get a little on edge - similar interests i like, similar attitudes... blergh. strangely, i never find girls with personalities similar to my own - it's always guys :p
and yeah, i really appreciate it :) come to think of it, it's one of the reasons i like talking to you - because i think we're pretty different people too, and i like hearing stuff from your pov so i can start looking at things a different way, too.
