People who love to hear themselves talk

So my newish roommate loves to hear herself talk. As did one of my old roommates, but he wasn't nearly as bad. She will be sitting there and say things that don't make any sense to anyone, I just don't get it. And then on the phone she will just talk for an hour without the person on the other end saying more than 7 words.
Maybe it is just that I, as the listener, do not think that some of the statements she lets out of her mouth hold any value. So all the talking they do seems like it is relevant to them, but to me it is just rambling bologna coming out of her mouth. But even as I sit hear next to her that doesn't seem to be all that is going on..
Do you know anyone that is this way?

I like people who talk when they have something meaningful to say. I couldn't be around the person you describe, and I have no friends like that, nor would I ever.
Sorry to hear this.

Eh what I hate more is people who complain about other people just talking and being themselves. Consider how many times you or someone you know has complained about someone else in regards to "omg why wont they stop talking," or, "why do they think I care what they are talking about," etc? Now consider how many people have said the same thing about you. Just be straight up with people who you don't want to talk to, don't pretend you like them and talk behind their back. That's one huge reason I don't really like to talk to anyone I don't know. 
Look for the good in people, you know?

I like people who talk often. They are so cute with their little flapping lips and hand gestures and dramatic facial expressions. It takes the pressure off of me so I can just sit there and be creepy as usual but it doesn't look as creepy because it looks like I'm having a conversation even though I'm just sitting there being creepy.

I'm with joie; I hate complaining more than anything
I wouldn't live with someone I haven't "approved" beforehand either, but I'm picky about my home/homelife. I've had a couple frustrating roommates/living situations and I've also had a couple awesome roommates.
The awesome ones happened after I realized I should check out the house, and make friends with my potential roomies. Seems obvious now, but I never thought to do it before. Those (awesome) roommates invited me to come back that weekend for a party, and that night I stayed over, and helped clean up the next morning. And thats how I knew I found a potential home (and made some good friends, too!)
Also lived with a few old friends who I knew lived dirty, but that was my fault; IMO/IME you shouldn't expect ones home-habits to change.

Unfortunately, my son is this way and it drives me nuts.. Kids typically talk a lot/ask a lot of questions, but he makes most kids look mute.
I'm a pretty quiet/reserved person. Probably has something to do with why it drives me nuts.

Oddly enough my best roommates were the two I found on craigslist for the summer, I wish I still lived with those two guys. The ones I knew for the longest time beforehand end up being the ones I cannot stand. eh, but what am I gonna do?
@shroomslip - I think us being quiet and reserved (I am too) is in fact what causes it to bother us. Just due to the fact that what they do is something we 'don't/wouldn't do' may be part of the reason it irks us the way it does.
Is it wrong to think "why can't some people be more like me"? Do most people think like this, or am I a dirt ball for having that thought? And be honest if you have ever thought that.

I think we've all had that thought, our brains are wired to be most comfortable around things that are familiar as well as to think the way we act/think/feel is the best/right. However, I think it's important to realize, when you think that, that we live on a planet of billions of people and to think your one way of acting/thinking/feeling is the best is a little silly. Your way is good for you and life becomes easier if you can appreciate the diversity of the people around you. The world would never have progressed to this point if it weren't for variety - at a cellular/molecular level for certain but also at a behavioral/cognitive level.

I've never wished people would be more like me, just that they wouldn't talk so much <_< Take a few breaths or something, there's no reason to fill every moment of silence with your own voice just for the sake of breaking said silence.

i don't think anything anyone has to say holds any value whatsoever. unless the topic being talked about is unraveling the quandaries of existence then i'm usually not interested. i must seem boring to a lot of people.

I get where you are coming from, a lot of it reminds me of what I learned after my first mushroom trip years ago. I just like to deal with things that are relevant and meaningful to me I suppose...
and off topic, I find it funny your sig quote says '...a thousand invisible threads...'. One thousand it is, no more, no less. ha

I know I do. I especially hate it when other people think that their opinions are as valid as mine. I usually just let my eyes glaze over and start planning the delivery of my next monologue as they feebly attempt offer some kind of critique of my previous one.

Can't tell if serious.........
Bunch of self proclaimed elites in this thread. If someone talks and you don't like it, either tune them out or tell them to shut the fuck up. Holding it in and deciding you despise the person over their intent to talk is some preschool shit and you need to gain some social skills.
