Making friends with ...weird people?

THis morning in office, had a short conversation with C on another colleague, J.

Me: J's new job requires him to use Excel often and I was sharing some basic with him to help recap.

C: WOW...u are on so close terms w him. even have his facebook. haa haa... he still give me the impression of a bit weirdo. Tot i hv shared w u some encounters w him.

Me: haha.. Yes, I know but I guess I like making friends w weird people.

What is the definition of being weird?
When one does not go with the crowd?

ooooh no no... this is certainly not morally right.
We all know this but really standing up for something we believe?
IT CAN BE SOOOO HARD!!! Peer pressure? society pressure?

even Kong Zi needs 60 years old to be 随心所欲 stage... let alone us?
A part of me wants to stand up for WHAT I BELIEVE.
A part of me always remember how grateful I was when a sweet gal made the 1st initiative to make friends with me. It was the 1st day of sch. I was in Sec 1 and was then an extreme introvert. A plain Jane with a pair of big frame glasses. And the sweet gal... one of the popular gals in sch.

Hey, I'm reaching 30 years old now.
IS this call aging with grace? Self-confidence usually comes along with age.
SO what if they are weird? But what many is not aware is that when one go near enough with this category of people, they are more real and sincere than other.
Talking to them is always a feeling good, and relaxed time for me.

**Seeing is not always believing. SOmetimes, one wld need to close his eyes to feel the real. It's seeing thrg another window.
