1. Is there a smell that will immediately sicken you? Hm. Not really. Though it might be important to point out here that I have a really terrible sense of smell generally, and there aren't many things that smell good to me, either.
2. When you want quiet, where do you go? I *always* want quiet, so I look for it everywhere. But the quiet that's nicest is the quiet of being by yourself in public, at a coffeeshop or walking in the street, when others are chatting in the background but you're very much alone.
3. Do you need/prefer total darkness when you sleep? Ideally. More so as I get older and sleeping well becomes harder.
4. What is your least favorite taste? Fish sauce. Blue cheese. The errant tomato in my sandwich. (I'm not a big fan of raw tomatoes.)
5. How heavily do you rely upon your sense of touch? Not heavily. I'm a bit touch-averse, actually. Everything is in the head or on the screen for me...except books, where the feel of the page is everything.

Oh, blue cheese. Yes! Agreed. :/
I love a good tomato, but they are hard to find.

I'm not big on fish sauce, either. But I've never met a cheese I didn't like.

With you on the feel of books, although I must say a Kindle is uncommonly handy for holiday use, and for getting the sort of books I would get from the library because I want to read but not own - and our library doesn't stock them, because there are understandable limits to the foreign language section.

1. & 4. Hard-boiled eggs, oh dear Lord. I can't even be in the same room with a hard-boiled egg without gagging. I have an excellent sense of smell and am also a supertaster, attributes that help me to be a good cook but that have a distinct downside.

Also, happy Friday! ETA: Er. Sunday. Saturday. Whatever.

I'm having the same issues as I get older, too. I used to be able to sleep everywhere.

You are very lucky to have a terrible sense of smell. I wish mine was worse at times.

SAME. /o\

Interesting that you like quiet-but-not-quiet. :)
