The colors of, and the way yarn feels when you work with it. (either crochet or knitting...I prefer crochet) When I had optic neuritis, crocheting was a bit depressing, because the colors didnt look right. When I went to the yarn store, a lot of times I had to ask people if colors went together, because I couldnt tell sometimes....especially the color green. (green is my favorite color. I really missed green when my color vision was fubar)

The smell of chocolate....or the smell of coffee (hate the taste, love the smell of fresh, unbrewed coffee grounds tho...especially hazelnut) I also enjoy the smell of apples and cinnamon. I like the smell of roses even tho I'm allergic.

I also liked the smell of my dog TinyMonsters. It was comforting having a stinky dog around. Made me know that he was there. I miss that. (well, except for when he was a bit gassy...that could make paint melt off the walls. If you were right next to him when he let one loose, you could almost taste it...ewwwww!!!) I still have his brush with some hair in the bristles. I keep it in a ziploc and sometimes I'll open the bag to sniff the brush. (miss that stinky dog, and I just made myself cry, darnit!)

The sound of any kind of music. I love American Indian flute music playing softly, but I also love hard rock playing extremely loudly.

and now that my boyfriend helped my dad by hooking up a new HD cable box to our projection tv (my Tivo on it died, got a cable box to replace it) I love the way HD tv looks (didnt know that tv was capable of HD) This time two years ago, it wouldnt have mattered to me what HD tv looks like. (I was still recovering from ON then)


I love the taste of chocolate of course, the taste of baked potatoes with butter and salt, the taste of Mexican food...and the taste of Greek food (especially Greek foods!) Hate Indian food (from the country of India. Love American Indian food tho.)

I love the taste of chocolate and orange pop mixed together. (try eating a Hershey bar and Orange Crush together)

As for touch, I love the way a crochet project feels as I'm working on it. Love the way the stitches feel in my hands.

I love the way it feels when my boyfriend puts his hand on my back at the movies. (that's got to be one of the neatest sensations...)

I love the way it feels when sitting outside and there's a light breeze blowing.

Hate it when the wind is really strong and starts blowing my hair into my face.

I like the way my boyfriend's hair feels when I put my hand on his head. (he usually wears his hair as a buzz cut, but sometimes he totally shaves his head in the summer...feels like stiff velvet...kind of neat feeling)
