-Garlic. Oh this is so nasty. It repels my nostrils. It makes me gag when I taste it. When the scent of cooking garlic is in the air, I swear it is the most overpowering scent I have ever experienced. It smothers my senses completely. The only time I can barely tolerate garlic is perhaps a little faint taste of it in pasta. Otherwise, garlic is hellish and disgusting and smelly. Garlic bread is especially horrible. EWWW. So many people adore garlic. It is beyond my scope of understanding. My palate detests it. Oh and let's not forget the horror of garlic breath.
-Mustard. I just don't like it. Regular mustard on a hot dog...cooked mustard on chicken...I just don't like it too much. I can eat it...but it's usually accompanied by a small scrunched-up expression on my face.
-Pickles and sour kraut. I am not too crazy about these two either.
-Raw vegetables. I can eat them raw sometimes, like lettuce on a sandwich and some cucumber slices, but generally, I like the cooked veggie route. I am just not the salad type. If you would be so inclined...try cooked eggplant or cooked spinach with curry. It is fabulous and one of the rare moments I actually eat veggies. I sorely lack veggies in my food routine, but oh well.
-Hair products. I stopped using hair spray and mousse and all that other junk in junior high school. I do not know what possessed me to abuse that stuff. I go natural now and my hair has never looked or felt better.
-Makeup. I love reading about it...love looking at it in fashion magazines...I buy it...who can resist pinks and purples and sumptious glittery things??...but I hardly ever use that stuff. I like allowing my bare skin to breathe. Nothing feels more claustrophobic than a powdered face, mascara, and lipstick. All a woman really needs is great skin.
-Driving. I am serious when I say I have a driving phobia. I don't like driving. I have only driven a handful of times since I first received my license when I was 16 years old. The source of my phobia : 1. Other drivers. So many drivers are fuckin horrible. They are dumbasses and they could get you seriously hurt. 2. I don't like the idea of having to control a car. It is like a scary machine. 3. I just don't think I am a very good driver either. 4. I am scared of getting in a accident. 5. I have the poorest sense of direction. No exaggeration. I am serious here. Very serious. I even get lost in malls. It's pathetic. And I cannot read maps. I am a total idiot in this area.
