You Love to Talk About Current Events

You are an admitted news and political junkie. You pride yourself on knowing what's going on in the world. You prefer to talk with people who are equally up on current events. You think there are a lot of important things to discuss. You get bored easily, and you prefer to always be discussing new things with your friends. You feel like it's easy to get in a conversation rut. You are the type most likely to bring up new and interesting topics of conversation. You always have something fascinating to talk about.
