All about the senses (I did this earlier and my computer ate my post, argh!)



1. Is there a smell that will immediately sicken you?

Feces. And what I call 'the death smell'. Not sure what it is exactly, but there's a smell that dying patients have that is unmistakable and unpleasant. :(

2. When you want quiet, where do you go?

Home! We turned our front room into a library and it's lovely to just sit in there amongst the books and be still. Also, people have a tendency to speak more softly while in there, so that's nice, too. :)

3. Do you need/prefer total darkness when you sleep?

Oh yes. Any chink of light makes me hunt down its source and eliminate it.

4. What is your least favorite taste?

Licorice. Ugh. Also, I'm not fond of certain textures. Sea urchin for example, which reminds me of thick snot. *shudders* Also, if you're ever offered scrapple, learn from my mistake and say no. :((

5. How heavily do you rely upon your sense of touch?

I touch people every day as part of my medical job, so I rely on it a lot. :) Also, I find a handshake goes along way to relaxing people when I meet them the first time.

Oh, man, I really despise sea urchin, I'm right there with you on that. And I've heard way too much about what scrapple is and having been raised on a farm, I know to say no to head cheese, too. :P

Thank you for being in the medical profession. It's not a job I could do and I admire the folks who can and do make a difference.

I bet you're amazing at your job, A.

Having a library sounds like heaven! M.

[alisanne]

Yeah, no head cheese for me either, we agree on that! :)

I hope I make a difference. Sometimes I wonder. (Ignore me, it's the middle of my Hell Week™ and I start my 24 hour call shift tonight which goes through Monday morning, so I'm cranky)
Thank you. <3

I LOVE it. It's such a peaceful and inspiring room. I write really well when I'm in there. :)

I think I'm okay at what I do. But this isn't the time to talk about it since I'm on call. :P

Again, my hat is off to you. I could not do that and even be able to think, much less be able to take care of people.

Yeah, head cheese, one of the few cheeses I have no interest in.

Your first answer to #1 was the other one I had in mind. Another universal one. :)

I've never been a fan of licorice either.

[alisanne]

Ha! Yes, I suspect we all agree on #1.

Yeah, I do not like anise/licorice or similar flavors at all.

Thank you! ♥

[spikesgirl58]

:D Thank you! And you are welcome!

I love the idea of having a library at home. I've been thinking about changing one of my sons bedrooms into a book/crafting room since they moved out, I just need to get my husband to agree to it!

[alisanne]

You should! It's such a wonderful thing to walk into a room full of books, meant for that purpose.
So calming. :)
