Yes, she does go on and on, but some of us guys love to watch a woman who can talk and go on with logic.

She also has a sense of humor.

Here's an example of her more humorous side. Looks like she watches some American TV, including the Miss USA pageant and Bill O'Reilly. Don't worry, it's short and sweet.
