"Most things I say are over the top. I'm chronically unable to be quiet or reserved. I'm glad you don't mind it. A lot of people do."
But Ned hasn't been much like anyone else, and he appreciates him for it. It's not that Ginsberg has anything against people who are 'normal,' exactly, it's just that he doesn't relate to them nearly as well as he relates to people who are slightly more offbeat, like he is, and there's something about Ned that definitely strikes him as being anything but average.
He's perfectly content to be rearranged, to stretch out on the bed next to Ned, and to note, again, just how tall Ned is. He's not great at estimating height -- most people're taller than him, some people're shorter -- but Ned seems extremely tall, and he thinks he likes it, feels somehow both excited and comforted by his physical presence. At the question, he nods slightly, grin breaking across his face again. "Good. Great."
Why use a word like good when there's something far more effusive like great to be used, anyway? Ned's probably noticed by now that Ginsberg doesn't exactly hold back on making his true feelings known.
