[GAME] Pros and cons about you!

You know how some people tend to make lists with pros and cons about people they like in order to decide whether to date them or not?
Well, this is kind of a spinoff. You write one pro and one con about yourself.
Next poster writes a small comment on that and follows up with their own pro and con.
Simple, eh? I will go first:

Pro:
I value freedom and would be willing to fight for it.

Con:
I tend to be a tad pushy and mercilessly share all the useless facts I keep in my head with everyone around me.

A least that's one thing we have in common!
Except I'm part of the rich/popular crowd and you're probably...popular by dealing drugs right?

Wrong. People tend to be popular by "associating" with me ( read : clingy cunts that think they are cool because they happen to hang around people I choose to hang around with ) . Just because I have quite a party stamina and enjoy excesses of various substances makes me quite the desirable individual to have on ones side. Also, dealing drugs is for charlatans, con-men and politicians, I am none of the aforementioned.

I can relate...people who enjoy watching others crash and burn
in their lives - this pretty much says it all for the 'friends' I hang out with.
Just wish there were better people in this world who aren't just materialistic freaks and social-climbers.

Pro: I'm very open to new friendships with people, and even if they are annoying, and awkward I can put up with them.

Con: I start to get anxious if I'm around the same people for more than a few hours at a time...I literally start getting sick to my stomach. If it's one person ,than I'm okay, but anymore than that and...Bleh.

Yeah, I know what you mean. For me, things start to get pretty tense between me and one person after a while; group hangs can be less awkward, but after a couple hours I am overcome with nausea.
Unless there was booze to remove the tension

I can't find anybody else who knows the same stuff I do. I don't make it down to the squat in Minneapolis enough, they know what i'm talking about though. Great people.

When I see someone posting one of those "pros and cons" lists instead of doing the thinking for themselves offline and then just posting the rationale for their decision, my eyes glaze over and I get a throbbing pain in my head until I realize it's exactlly the kind of thing I ignore on the internet.

Then I leave that page and the pain goes away.

Owwww! Oh ... right. Bye.
