Things I have been sent to Mordor for:
I enjoy algebra.
I like allegory. Well, some.
I like liquorice.
British spelling is true spelling.
I use dangling prepositions.
I speak English.
I'm about to join a fan fiction game.
I like exams. Honest.
I like fish. Well, depends on the type and if it's already cooked, but generally.
I like geometry. Maths is fun, people. Accept it.
Ich spreche nur ein bische Deutsch. If you ignore grammar rules, that is.
I'm not opposed to nanny states.
I am in many aspects an ignorant fool.
I love maths. And yes, that's an "s" you see there.
I'm not sure on the use of "myself."
I am. Human, that is.
I use language.
Verily, I enjoy non standard words.
I worry about offending others.
I would actually like to be a politician, much as I detest them. I'd be honest and represent the people and... ah, screw it.
I am a raccoon. Well, I'd like to be, just for a day or so.
Same with squirrels.
I am, on occasion, utterly stupid. Depends on what's being discussed.

I'm in the process of naming my character. I have a basic history circulating in my head, but post to come later - I still need to become acquainted with the delightful Green Dragon.
