True Confessions

[Teefies2]

Here's another from me: I don't like the smell of coffee. I already don't drink it for multiple reasons, but I don't really like the smell either. I know plenty of people who don't drink it but like the aroma, but for me it's not a scent I can stand. I make sure to avoid coffee-flavored Jelly Belly beans because of the taste as well, since the taste and the smell are the same to me.

And here I thought I was going to be the only one who didn't like the smell of coffee. Because of that, I have NEVER (yes NEVER) even tasted coffee, nor anything coffee related. Well, there's coffee cake, I do like coffee cake.

I love love love doing surveys and filling out forms. There's just something about filling in the blanks or checking the boxes that makes me feel good. And it doesn't hurt that you can get lots of free stuff for doing surveys these days.

My guilty pleasure? Michael Jackson. My family and close friends know this, but I absolutely adore him. Even when he was at his weirdest, he was the one for me. I have the "This Is It" DVD and have just about worn it out! Sometimes, after a particularly bad day, I'll pop it in the laptop, climb into bed, and fall asleep to it.

I never thought I'd meet someone who enjoys Bubble Hell, lol

Oh here is one that seems to make a lot of people upset. I don't like buffalo chicken. wings, patties, sauce, I don't like it. I don't like the smell, I don't like the taste. People are astounded by that.

The big one, that people can't accept is tea. I've had a million varieties of tea shoved in my face with the phrase "I know you don't like tea, but you haven't tried this one!" I ask them-does it taste like tea? then I don't like it.

Same here. I can't eat anything hot or spicy. Sorry, I like to keep my taste buds intact, thank you very much. BBQ is as spicy as I go, honey BBQ if I really want to get wild and crazy.

[Teysa]

I think chocolate covered nuts are a waste of perfectly good chocolate. I couldn't even finish the first book of the Dune series. Green beans and black beans are the only beans I like. Everything else is just yucky.

I love broccoli and cauliflower. I also love most seafood, well except for lobster. While it's not something I hate, I don't care for it.

[Kogarashi]

Well, there's coffee cake, I do like coffee cake.

Ah, but coffee cake doesn't smell or taste like coffee, so that's okay. I like coffee cake too.

[wolfie]

My understanding is that is because "coffee cake" means "cake to be eaten while drinking coffee", rather than "cake made with coffee".

[Kogarashi]

Well, yes. Last I checked, "cake made with coffee" is tiramisu instead.

[Tama]

Oh is THAT what that means. Thanks, I now know not to eat tiramisu.

[Aria]

Oh is THAT what that means. Thanks, I now know not to eat tiramisu.

That's another one! I like coffee but I'm not fond of tiramisu. It just seems like... glop. The consistency is off for me.

[EricKei]

Yup. Tiramisu is LadyFingers (those elongated, little mini-cake things) with mocha and cream, basically.

[Tama]

I just don't like the bitterness in any coffee, I get my caffeine from soda and tea.

[wolfie]

LadyFingers (those elongated, little mini-cake things)

Glad you cleared that up - "Ladyfingers" also refers to a type of firecracker, and we wouldn't want people trying to make Triamusu out of those.

I don't drink coffee, I drink coffee-flavored sugar water.

The only reason I started drinking coffee in the first place was because I had a kid and really needed it. I prefer energy drinks, mostly because my stomach doesn't revolt if I try to drink more than four energy drinks in a weekend, but four cups of coffee will bother me for a week.

I know there are other women on here who will relate to this: I don't like frilly things. A tiny bit of lace is okay, but ruffles, bows, etc. = yuck.

Years ago there was this store in a local mall that sold nothing but little girls' dresses that were literally just huge layers of ruffles. They were horrifying. I couldn't imagine putting a little kid into one of those! I'm sure they were meant for special occasions, not every day, but even so...made me shudder to see those things.
