But anyway – here are the Saturday Senses:
[taste]:: If you could no longer taste any liquids/drinks, which liquid/drink would you miss and which would you be happy not to taste anymore?
I’d miss the fresh and comforting taste of peppermint tea, which is just about my favorite drink in the world. I would not mind not being able to taste coffee, truth be told.

[touch]:: If you could no longer feel physical pain, which kind of pain would you be happy to never feel again (I know all sorts of pain are bad, but choose one that is specifically the worst for you).
I’m not good with pain in general, but seeing that every month I’ve got cramps (although not so bad anymore, thanks to the wonders of the pill) I definitely wouldn’t mind getting rid of those…

[sight]:: If you could no longer read, which part of your life would be most affected? Additionally, look around you and try to imagine how many things you wouldn´t be able to do in the room you´re in if that ever happened.
Not being able to read? That would be the most awful thing in the world! No online anymore and, even worse, no books? My room is filled with shelves and shelves of books — it’d just about kill me not to be able to read them anymore…

[smell]:: Which food´s smell is so much “part of the food” that you´d miss smelling if you could no longer smell anything you eat?
Oh, there are so many things where the smell is an important part of it — but I think I’d miss most smelling anything with chocolate, vanilla or honey in it, because those give the food so much more of a comfort factor.

[hearing]:: If you could no longer hear people´s voices, whose voice would you be glad not to hear and whose voice would you miss hearing?
There are some voices that grate in my ears, mostly when people have the habit of yelling instead of speaking. I’m mostly thinking of some of my old people at the retirement home here. And miss? I’d miss the voices of anyone I love, because the voice is so much part of them…

I got stood up at uni by someone who was supposed to bring me articles to copy, so I have to kill time on this really crappy computer with an even crappier keyboard…
