It's a layer, yo.
People are interesting creatures - all a slightly different hot mess of their own making, just like moi.
Neato.
But I wouldn't exactly call myself "friendly". And apparently, neither would a new online friend of a friend, who recently described me as being "nice like Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory..".
Say WHUT??
I needed to think on this a minute. Willy Wonka? From Wonkaland? I made a little table to compare and contrast:

I think they meant it as a compliment. What kid at the end of the movie did want to be Charlie? And how sweet was Gene Wilder then? Charlie just had to prove he was worth it.
Tell them to man up and be worth your kindness.
You're totally there. Except for the money part. No. Really.
I'm still crushing on Mr. Wonka...and after all of these years.
