Hmmm this reminds me of how in gaming, especially in online ranked games because love the noobs who bring down the level of the lobby. The experts get an easier group to play with and the noob, if they are daring enough will show the experts ways to play the game they hadn't yet considered. Great read Charlie. You're totally weird dude and I'm a big fan of it.
I felt swept up in Seamus's party whirlwind and also your couchsurfing days. They sound so fun. And characters like that, though you never even got their real names, never leave your memories. What a fun read.
I agree, the feeling of being a noob has value (to get comfortable with) because uncertainty is part of a growth mindset. As for the charming oddballs, Savant seems like a deep introvert and Seamus a well-practised life-of-the-party extrovert. Life is richer for both.

I love that parallel--what a great insight. And thanks, Steven! I try to channel being weird to good ends.

Thanks Becky!

Yes they were an interesting contrast as they didn't know each other and were in my life for the same length at the same time.
Seamus was a leprechaun…?
