Purple and Popcorn

Purple:
I've always been unable to answer the question regarding my favorite color. For some reason I've always felt I loved each and every color evenly. I realized over Christmas break that I have been living a lie for years. I love purple. It is by far my favorite color and I don't know how it took me so long to realize that. When I have the option, I choose purple clothing. My bedroom at home is purple. My blog is purple. My gymnastics team color was purple and thus almost everything from those 10 years of my life is purple.

Popcorn:
As a child I threw up a number of times at night either coincidentally or as a direct result of having eaten popcorn only a few hours before. I developed a pretty strong taste aversion to popcorn. For many years even the smell of popcorn made me sick. In the last few years I began to tolerate the smell and even began to like the smell. In Spain, I tried popcorn and got sick again. Hmpf. I don't know what inspired me to try it for yet a 5th time but I did last fall. I have gradually begun to tolerate it, and now like it, and occasionally crave it. Over break I was eating some popcorn around my mother and she looked at me and said, "I just can't get over the sight of you eating popcorn." Yes, that's right, I'm a new person.

funny you can overcome your taste aversion to popcorn but everything else if off limits.
