Richard's ex-friends journal (this is getting ridiculous, this ex friend needs a name) is mostly populated with commentary about social situations in which the ex-friend talks about liking someone. The ex-friend loved strangers, and most of his journal entries were about exactly that. Each entry pinpoints a particular person who the ex-friend liked for a particular reason.
Richards loves to read about the people who his ex-friend has liked. He loves reading the descriptions and imagining these people. He loved how his ex-friend thought, and loves the things his ex-friend respected about people. Each entry focuses on a respectable character trait from strangers the ex-friend has met. Half the journal had been written in bars, where the ex-friend had gone, drinking alone at first and eventually ended up talking to a stranger. It was the ex-friend's favorite hobby - meeting as many people as possible in order to find truly interesting people.
