Meme: Seven things you didn’t know about me.

1. I'm a Supertaster, a.k.a. "picky eater." I don't eat any vegetables except potatoes and canned green beans. And sometimes lettuce, but only iceberg, and only as a carrier for Olive Garden salad dressing and croutons. I don't drink coffee or tea, I don't like spicy foods (and for me, "spicy" includes things as mild as bell peppers), and I love sweets. I manage to stay healthy despite this shortcoming, and I can find something to eat at almost any restaurant, so it's more of a problem for people who are somehow insulted by what they think I'm missing out on than it is for me. 

2. I have an irrational phobia of crabs. No... not the little critters that you pass along after a dirty night of anonymous sex, but the kind some folks like to crack open and enjoy for dinner (not me: see number 1). I used to live in Florida, on the beach. Those bastards are absolutely everywhere, hundreds of them, during mating season. They have been known to puncture tires when you run them over in your vehicle, they never seem to run away from you, but instead run, sideways directly towards you when startled, and they used to crawl into the elevator where I lived, forcing me to stand cowering in a corner while I rode to the 10th story of our building, or inspiring me to try my luck with the stairs instead. I just tried to find a photo for you, but seriously, my heart rate hit 120 before the page even finished loading, so I leave you to your own GIS for "blue crabs." Don't say I didn't warn you.
