Character Foils

Some of the people I've met, or gotten to know this [school]year have made me really realize how much I don't like or can't stand some people, or maybe just certain characteristics found in many people I know. These people I've met are some of, at the risk of sounding cliche, the coolest people I can imagine. They're different. They don't care what people think. They aren't ignorant or intolerant, nor are they annoying in any way, shape, or form. They know how to have a good time, but also know when to be serious when needed. And I know I'm just listing good qualities, and I definitely could keep going, but really, these people put those qualities in sharp relief. They are the character foils of several people I've come to know, unfortunately for those several, because they don't stand a chance at standing up in any comparison to these "really cool people". I call them that because honestly, I don't know how else to describe them. I'm just really grateful that I've become friends with 'em, because it's making my senior year a hell of a lot better.
