The Friday Five on a Friday x2

[HELLO I AM COMET AND I AM TOO CLOSE]

1. Do you ever wonder if the way you see things visually aren't how other people see them?
   
   Frequently. My partner and I sometimes have very different perceptions of certain colours (and no, he’s not red-green colour-blind).
   
   
2. What kind of sounds are the most annoying?
   
   Sounds I didn’t choose to hear, ha. Seriously, though, I quite often put my noise-cancelling headphones on with nothing coming through them, just to block out background sound.
   
   
3. When walking through a store, do you shop with your hands by touching/feeling the texture of things?
   
   I *want* to do that all the time. I’m very sensitive to touch. I restrain myself most of the time unless it seems like it is OK (like in a clothing shop). I suspect I’d get thrown out of places if I went round running my hands over veg, freshly baked goods or pick-n-mix for example.
   
   
4. If you could only smell three scents for the rest of your life, what would they be?
   
   My cats’ fur when they come in from outside on a cold day. Black Opium by YSL. My partner’s armpits. I am not joking.
   
   
5. What sorts of things do you savor when eating them?
   
   Everything! I love food so much. I especially love very cold fruit juices on a hot day or with a sore throat, the velvety texture of a good chocolate mousse, and the salty satisfaction of slurping ramen noodles.
   

1. Do you consider yourself to be a good housekeeper? Why or why not?
   
   Not really. I just about keep on top of things, some of the time.
   
   
2. Are there any household chores that you enjoy doing? If so, what and why?
   
   I like doing the laundry, and I like hoovering now I have a fancy new lightweight Dyson.
   
   
3. Which household chore frustrates/angers you the most?
   
   Ironing. Who invented this nonsense.
   
   
4. When doing household chores, what do you do to make them seem less of a "chore"?
   
   Listen to radio comedy programmes.
   
   
5. Which chore do you find yourself doing most often, and why?
   
   Washing dishes, probably. There are four people in the house and we eat most of our meals together, so we make dishes often.

Well, I'm colour/music synaesthetic so certainly 'see' some things differently to other people.

I remember you writing about this. It's fascinating.

Ironing is the worst!

[nanila]

It truly is. Making clothes flat. WHO CARES

[brittdreams]

I agree! One of my aunts, however, does not. She irons her clothes. When she buys clothes for my niblings, she'll wash it, dry it, and iron it, before sending it to them. They are never ironed again after that of course, but it cracks me up every time I see her doing it.
