My Best Friend (of the opposite sex - yeah, I have more than one best friend) and MY Writing

There is way too much I could say about my best friend.  So I'm limiting it.  

Jonathan is great.  He's the best friend I could have right now.  I need him for a lot of things even though he is probably the biggest pain in the ass I have ever met.  I actually often say to him, "Dude, seriously.  My ass.  It's in pain."  It's pretty funny, actually.  I know it doesn't sound like it.  But it is.  I swear.

Anyhow, we've been best friends for about 2 years now and I can't really function without him and don't care if that's lame.  We're fairly interdependent and he, his dad, and I pretty much work as a really grouchy, screeching, hilarious machine.  The thing about JP is that I know he loves me and I know he needs me, too (though he's not likely to admit it out loud to anyone but me).  He's just not the most supportive.  Typically.  At least, he doesn't show that he supports.  If I'm directing a play or in charge of some sort of production or need him to go somewhere with me or watch me play a soccer game or whatever, he's not likely to do it.  Well, he'll go to family dinners - with complaints.  He'll tell me I'm not fat or tell me I look "nice" or "good" one day.  But he is not likely to extend support.  

Here's where he gets weird.  He not only follows my blog but wants to set up an RSS feed to make sure he follows it.  I laughed when he said that.  He hasn't often seemed to like my writing.  Even though one of my best pieces in a class was about him.  And some broad.  Anyhow.  Point is, he subscribes to my blog.

THEN, after I laughed at him, I said, "It's not even good writing.  I'm not a good writer."  

He said, "I wouldn't say that.  But it's a really good read."

"So, I'm a bad writer, but good to read?  How does that even work."

"Oh, you know."

His awesome explanation of how I could write a good read but was not a good writer really got me thinking...  But, no, really.  I think I should completely change how I look at writing.  And how I look at my writing.  I don't need to be a Dickens or Dickinson.  Which would be impossible anyhow.  But I have to write stuff people like reading.  But I'm still working on this whole thought because it doesn't really make sense.  

If something is a good read isn't it well-written?!  I don't even know.
