Words are inadequate

*snort* Like that'll stop my subconscious. (I just need to smack it down with a stick, is all.)

I thought some more about that and realised that the cool people tended to be /really/ cool, and the rest of them tended to, well, not be. And the bad ones can quickly overpower the good ones. (This can also be extrapolated to the people I hung out with my first few years at college.)

So. . . clearly what I'm looking for is a collection of, say, eight to ten people, all acceptably cool. Tactile but not creepy. I think it's doable, but it'll take a good bit of work. (There was a time several years ago when I almost had it. . . then people started graduating from college and getting married to people in Atlanta and such.)
