He used to comment me on the way I was quite unstructured in my thinking, in comparison with his clear, methodical and systematic way of thinking. When I debate with him, if I'm thinking clearly enough, I will end up finding a flaw in his reasoning, but for the most part, his logic is like an inpenetrable fortress, and I think he takes pride in that. It's hard if not impossible to get him to admit that he is wrong, incorrect or flawed in his logic. We talk a lot into the early hours, primarily about our opinions on everything about life, and always have done. I've never been at a loss as to what to say to him. We only really tire of each other's company after having spent more than three or four days straight around each other. He comments on my practicality, especially in comparison with himself, who is pitifully incapable of menial household tasks. I'm always happy to help him out though. I appreciate his consistency of behaviour immensely. You know exactly what you're getting with him. This is one of the things that puts him off about my IEE friend; IEE is completely inconsistent. I don't have too much of a problem with it, but LII despises it, especially when it is characterised by a variety of facades and irritating attitudes towards life. LII doesn't really have a firm career plan. He thinks he might stay in academia long-term, and lecture or something. I don't like the way he has no ambition, but can respect his choices nonetheless.
