I absolutely love
stepping on corrugated cardboard. It just feels nice as it squishes under my feet, don't know why.

Tell me something non-sexual that you love doing. Nil points for bubble wrap, everyone loves that.

Or, if you're feeling negative you could tell me something that you hate the feel of, like rubbing cotton wool between your fingers.

I love stretching. It is just brilliant.

oh yeah that is the shit
I love rubbing my eyes after I've taken my contact lenses out and my make up off.

Me too.
First thing in the morning.

Also getting into bed when the bedding has just been changed.

I prefer it cold and crisp.

Depends on what temperature you're starting at for me.
But cool sheets on a hot day, stretch your legs, if you're lucky you get a couple of little pops and then you just melt.

I like that too
Particularly if the bf has been in my side for a couple of minutes, warming it up.

You take your make up off in the morning?
Good lord, what sort of finishing school did your parents send you to?

I hate airhoses blowing super close to a metal object
totally squicks me out

but I love messy pens, the kind with a lot of ink so it smears when you move your hand across the pages

it's also used to get dirt, water and other particles off of things, it's used to power tools in a garage as well
but when they use them to dry something off it emits a high pitched squeal and it kills me everytime, like nails on a chalkboard

Getting my back scratched
Opening brand new electrical equipment
Sanding table tops
Dropping steak onto a dangerously hot skillet
Going back to sleep
Doing a shit that requires little or no wiping

Cutting fabric
With big, sharp scissors.

And another thing, but it's too difficult to explain. I'll find the words and post it later.

The strange plasticky smell
You get a whiff of it whenever you take a new gizmo out of its plastic wrapping. I don't know why, perhaps it's just because it smells like New Stuff to Play With - or perhaps it really is slightly intoxicating - either way, even though it's not a nice smell, it does excite me ever so slightly.

I hate the smell of new instruction booklets
EDIT: I do love the smell of petrol though, and marker pens
(, Tue 20 Apr 2010, 13:21, Reply)
I should introduce you to my sister
You can hang around petrol stations together and enjoy the whiff of benzene. Can't stand that one myself. I don't mind marker pens, though.

The smell of a new book
I buy 'em just to smell 'em.

I associate New Car Smell with vomiting into the beach bucket kept in my parents' car when I was a child.

Ah, I almost forgot
I love to listen to English people talking when I don't have to reply. There is something in the melody and the softenes of your words that makes my get goose skin.

It's a problem when my boss decides to explain things using a lot of words... I can even feel the hairs in my head getting spiky.

I'm like that with certain accents
like the soft Edinburgh accent, or a not too hacky welsh one.

I don't get the same effect with southeners
My boss is from around Yorkshire, I think. His accent gives me the worst reaction. I usually think I wish he was my grandparent and I could fall asleep with one of his stories.

I was an audio typist
and one of the guys I used to type for had a soft Scottish accent, it was very relaxing.

Tearing cellophane.

eugh
I can't stand cellophane! Or cling film. It's evil. All of it. It sticks to you of its own accord and you can't get rid of it! Unwrapping DVDs is a trauma for me

I love the smell of new fabric sticking plaster.
Probably harks back to childhood. Something to do with comfort and the feeling that someone cares.

I don't like the word, I hate the crimp bit. My least favourite word of all time is crumpet

It's a type of man made fabric. It feels utterly disgusting.
It's the sort of thing old lady dresses are made of. *Bokes*

Feather pillows

I'm not a big fan of feather pillows
I worry that I'll sink into them and they'll envelope my face like a giant marshmallow and I'll suffocate.

Scrumping. The apples taste so much better.
Dislike - tweed trousers, especially on hot days. Must be from my schooldays as I have never bought a pair in my adult life. Makes me break out in hives just thinking of it.
