Okay, there are a few things that I truly do not like that need explaining:

*religion - I just do not discuss this (usually). I consider myself agnostic, meaning I do not believe in organized religion. I believe it to be hypocritical. I will respect your beliefs but please do not "preach" to me. I do know quite a bit about this and I am very strong in my own beliefs.
*politics - I avoid striking up a conversation about this for the simple fact is: it bores me. I openly admit that I am apathetic (for the most part) where politics is concerned.
*abortion - I'm a strong believer that a woman's body is hers and no one person should EVER tell her what she can and can't do with it. End of discussion.
*monogomy - for me, it is a must. I would like to believe that there IS one person out there in the world that will satisfy an individual. Hey, if you NEED to have sex with someone else other than your lover, then why BE with him? Be good friends who have sex!
*sex - speaking of that, I enjoy it as much as the next person! But, nearing 30 (GASP!) I've truly come to realize what is and what is not important to me. The emotional aspect of sex is much more important than the physical aspect. And I do not define what "role" I perform sexually.
*homosexuality - well, I'm gay, so that makes me somewhat of an expert. I'm out. My family and coworkers all know who and what I am. I have nothing to hide from. I'm not screaming "gay" but I refuse to hide that aspect of my life.
*profanity - language is just language. I have no censorship where this is concerned. I say what I want to say. Fag, cunt, cock, fuck, etc. etc. mean nothing to me. I will not use these to refer to someone in a derrogatory manner, unless they deserve it. They are just WORDS. Nothing more. I am not racist, sexist, or biggoted. And what I say (mostly) is not to hurt anyone. I just have a slight habit of speaking without thinking at times. Sorry.

Honesty, sense of humor, seriousness, movies (like you couldn't tell), Ben & Jerry's ice cream, thunderstorms, romantic evenings, the person you love being the last thing you see before you go to sleep and the first thing you see when you wake up, Bugs Bunny, chocolate, cuddling and watching a good movie, acting silly, rollercoasters, animals, foreign cultures, learning, good conversationalists, coffee, warming up a cold bed, macadamia nuts (hint hint, Luis!!), latin men, being my true "self", buying little gifts for others, e-greetings, Tigger, fresh flowers, slow walks through a park or on the beach, talking things through, laughing, a kiss from a lover, the scent of fresh rain, autumn on the east coast, linen, European novels, art, artichokes, symphonies at the Hollywood Bowl, lazy Sunday afternoons, being able to sit with someone in silence in complete comfort and just a smile, food, exploring a lover's body, bookstores, Scooby Doo, being uninhibited with a lover (sexually), poetry, first dates that create butterflies in your stomach, staring into the eyes of the one you love and knowing they feel the same way as you, the unexpected single rose given to you for just being you, "thank you"s, and finally...."I love you"s

Somewhat of the beginnings of my likes.

Dishonesty, excess baggage, Adam Sandler, nonmonogomy, boring conversations, the guys in West Hollywood who SAY they're not into the West Hollywood "scene" (give me a FUCKING break! You wouldn't be LIVING in West Hollywood unless you WERE into that scene! What??? You live there becuase the rent's affordable and there are just so many places to park??), racism, screaming children, men who color their hair, the color orange, liver (any internal organs of animals that people eat), teen-comedies, shopping, showtunes, cold weather, "mainstream" anything, sluts, dirty talk (dude, I can't answer you with your dick in my mouth, so stop asking me stupid questions!), anorexic twinks who think they look sexy, drunks, bad breath, guys who are too busy and need to write you down in a planner, given a pager or cell number instead of a home phone number, Jim Carrey, closet cases, size queens, avacados (although I do like guacamole...go figure!),strictly "tops" and "bottoms", queens, paying dutch when the other guy asked ME out (I ALWAYS pay when I ask someone out, even if I'm not liking the guy), when on a date...the guy I'm with scopes out prospective fucks, loneliness, T.V., going to a movie at Universal Citywalk, traffic, my own insecurities, superficial attitudes, mushrooms (although I like portabellos), materialism, rudeness, when people don't return phone calls (I called you for a reason!!!!), lame excuses that a 5 year old could see through, flakes, beating around the bush, "gay time" - meaning consistently late, meaningless sex (unless that's all I CAN get after an extended period of time of celebicy), inconsiderate people, selfishness, and the inablity to accept other people's faults.

The list could go on and on....but there you have it.

Oh, one more thing. Did I mention that I HATE DISHONESTY. Is there anyone out there who can be honest?? I think that most people don't know this definition. LOOK IT THE FUCK UP!!
