What's the last thing you forced yourself to like?

[jpgray]

For me it was a glass of outrageously expensive Scotch.

1. You.

And HEyHEY's mom.

No, wait... liking HEyHEY's mom was easy, and so was she.

[jpgray]

2. Don't you have some out to sell?

:P

Is Canada's Next Top Key Grip shooting? :D

[CanuckAmok]

4. I'm all out of out.

I sold it all. And then I gave it away, sort of.

All I have left is a terrible Bob Dylan impression.

[jpgray]

9. Get out!

Use your Bob Dylan expression to sell bras.

[HEyHEY]

11. Speaking of mothers tell yours I want to give her crabs back

[amitten]

3. A certain Republican boyfriend. NEVER AGAIN.

He wasn't even cute enough to make it worthwhile! :puke:

[Floogeldy]

5. Having a Bella Donna - Morphine suppository shoved way up my ass.

However, it didn't take long for me to really, really like it. For real.

;)

[jpgray]

6. I guess it's not necessary to ask in this case if you took it like a man

;)

[Floogeldy]

7. Well . . .

It was administered by a really good looking black female nurse. :9

[tuvor]

8. "Java" by Al Hirt.

That, and "Winchester Cathedral".

[HEyHEY]

10. What? Java is an awesome tune!

12. A couple of weekends ago

I was partying at a friends. And I only brought a few beers with me. We drank beer and whiskey, and then I ran out of beer. So I was pretty buzzed and didn't want to walk back to my building to carry more beer over. He gave me some of his. It tasted so bad but was so worth not having to walk up and down a flight of stairs carrying beer while buzzed and unsteady in the middle of the night.

13. Life.

[twenty4blackbirds]

14. aubergine

[In_The_Wind]

15. people

[LaurenG]

16. ...brussel sprouts

thats all there was besides carrots. yuck

[underpants]

17. Coffee

I never drank coffee until I was in the Army. I realized early on in basic that they bring coffee before they bring water so I had better learn to like it.

[AngryAmish]

18. Prosciutto

For years I would not eat it - too salty. Then I ate it a few times and came around. Now I'm silly for the stuff. Jamon Serrano (Spanish prosciutto) is even better.

[AirmensMom]

19. I can't tell you

Until you reveal my DU secret admirers. :hi:

[tigereye]

20. hmm a few select

anti-choice Democratic candidates.... :banghead:

since the alternative Reps were much worse. :(

[SOteric]

21. I don't force myself to like anything.

It's an ugly life lesson with a metric fuckload of not easily unpacked baggage to have suffered a life threatening illness (and actually have been dead for a brief time); to have lost a long-term, live-in lover to suicide and then to have watched my dearly loved mum slowly vegetate and die from repeated strokes.

Let me bottom-line it for anyone who's bored enough to actually be reading my posts: Life is too short to spend it volutarily suffering or uncomfortable when you don't have to be.

The last time I recall forcing myself to enjoy something I was a teenager and a boy I was dating threatened the relationship if I didn't like the same barely tolerable jazz 'artist' he felt a veritable god.

22. Beefaroni

We were given several cans by our neighbors.

23. I'm still working on cilantro.

Recently heard it's genetic if you don't like it.
Doesn't taste to you like it does to everybody else.

[jpgray]

24. What does it taste like to you?

Sharp, peppery and a little sour is what I get.

[trof]

29. Chlorine

Like when I'd get water up my nose at the YMCA pool when I was a kid.
It always reminds me of swimming pools.
They say it's genetic.
:shrug:

[Marie26]

25. Crash. nt

[azmouse]

26. My sister-in-law

Freaking Bushbot!

[JackBeck]

30. My brother-in-law.

Right-wing Baptist preacher who lives for Dubya.

[InvisibleTouch]

27. My best friend's cousin.

Well, I haven't exactly forced myself to like him, but for the sake of harmony I've done my damndest not to hate him. Seems to be working. To his credit, he seems to be doing his damndest not to hate me, either, and we're mostly pretty civil to each other these days.

[kwassa]

28. Earning a living

I'm mean .... why work?

it's so regressive.
