1. I have a bit of an oral fixation. I like to taste things (as long as I know they’re not dangerous). I know the flavor difference between gold and silver, for instance. I am a big fan of lollipops and hard candies, although I tend to start chewing on them before long because I’m impatient. Candies that dissolve fairly fast (like buttermints) are an exception.
2. I hate having things touch the front of my neck. I haven’t owned a turtleneck since high school, and I only wore one when I had nothing else clean. When I was in middle school, if forced to wear a turtle neck, I would pull the neck up to cover my mouth, and then start chewing on it (because at least then it wouldn’t be constricting my neck anymore). I also can’t wear chokers, but loose necklaces are fine. I am also all right with scarves, as long as they’re a bit loose.
3. My breasts have their own names. The left (my left) is Lulu and the right is Benoit (ben-wah). I came up with those names randomly in college and they’ve just stuck.
4. I much prefer cold to heat, I believe this is because my fat provides insulating layers (much like blubber in a whale). This means I don’t get cold easily, but I get hot if I so much as glance at a sweater.
5. I hate wearing makeup because I don’t like the feeling of having something on the skin of my face (lipstick is an exception). I also despise having to apply sunscreen, but I do it because it’s better than the alternative.
OMFSM. Are you sure you’re not me? I hate things touching my neck, which is a shame because I love to knit scarves. My breasts are named Johnny & Dolly (Dolly is the larger of the two). I would rather be too cold than too hot. And I haven’t worn make-up outside of Halloween since I was 20, and even then I only wore it when my friend Deb forced it onto my face. About the only difference here is I’m not so taste-oriented.–Susan (rpepperpot on Ravelry)
