Dew, tennis, british humor, macs, office supplies, quotations, football, subways (the train kind, not the sandwiches), Jack Daniels, the "click click" sound of chalk on a chalkboard or high heel shoes on hard floors, TV on DVD, people-watching, Pictionary, Monopoly, Clue and pretty much anything vanilla.

HATES: proselytizing, people who talk just to hear their own voice, bad grammar, politicians(see 3 previous points), raw onions, "reality" television, people who walk and/or drive slow, almost everyone who shops at hobby lobby (and a lot that work there), car stereos where all you hear is the bass, bees, xenophobia, homophobia, racism, nationalism, and all other forms of extremism and hatred.

political science, international relations, history, economics, philosophy, literature, (and all those other things that make me a supernerd and assure i will be in college for the rest of my life)
