They are sooooooooo boring!!!!
I like action/comedy/fucking scary movies
I can't stand walking slow, if you're in front of me and you're walking slow, you're probably going to get ran over

The scarier the better

I interupt people when they talk
I don't mean to, it just happens
I also talk really, really fast
I'm constantly being told to slow the fuck down when I talk
If you're narrow minded about things like: gay-right/marriage or the war, you might want to leave, because I have no tolerance or patience for that kind of stupidity
If you use your race, gender, ethnicity, heritage, or try to pull some stupid "Your ancestors enslaved my ancestors" crap, to try and gain advantage, I'll probably punch you
I believe in God, don't push your beliefs on me
I believe in Gay marriage
If they love each other, let them be together
I hate, HATE, when people ban books
Its stupid, pointless, and damn irritating
Arrogance isn't tolerated with me

Or drama
