23. Haruhi kind of bores me. It's not that she's a girl, it's that uhhhhh she's Haruhi. She's in the host club, she wants to be a lawyer, she's hard-working......... that's about it. Uh, great. Good for her? Nothing in that interests me as a friend/significant other/whatever the hell. She's just another uhhh, nice ordinary studious type that I wouldn't glance at twice?

Like you said, she's the straight-man. She's supposed to be the logical, dull one that beats everybody over the head with common sense. And she does. So what's wrong with thinking she's dull?
