So, now that I have gotten past the obligatory introductory phase I assume that I may now wordvomit here, yes? Great.

Things I HATE:

(Proprioceptive?) Being in a stationary car with the engine on while another car backs up or pulls off. It makes me vomit. I cannot stand or sit in a chair with my eyes closed. When they are open, I have relatively few issues as far as balance is concerned. When I close them...it is like everything around me disappears and the floor comes from under me. After a while I am unsure if I am standing or sitting or floating. Then I fall. My limbs...no, my entire body feels disconnected unless I am under something heavy, jumping, spinning, or swinging. It is a weird feeling that I find difficult to describe.

(Light) Fluorescent lights or any light that flickers for any reason. Fluorescent lights buzz loudly while they flicker. It makes me feel crazy. Flickering lights make it impossible for me to walk. It looks like the floor is moving all around. This is not cool by any stretch of the imagination. It also makes me feel like my eyes are moving when they are not. Bright lights blind me and/or make it seem to me that words are moving. They can vibrate in place (which makes me feel ill) or t heyca nstarttoloo k lik ethis. This happens under bright lighting and with certain colours...like white, yellow, or pink paper with black text.

(Sound) I want to maim the person who came up with mosquito ring tones. I can hear them all. I can also feel them...behind my eyes. It is a heavy feeling like pressing on the eyes, only it comes from the back...like it is pushing my eyes out (it isn't. i always feel compelled to check.). The sounds that bats tend to make hurt me. Styrofoam on styrofoam is a painful sound, styrofoam on cardboard, cardboard on cardboard, cardboard on ice, styrofoam on ice, cotton balls being rubbed together.

(Touch...?) Now, this is where it gets weird. Touching naked crayons, bits of chalk, and the insides of some sinks and bathtubs is painful...but not just physically. It also hurts me like...a sound. I can almost HEAR the sensation...which makes no sense at all. I also start to think about putting these things in my mouth and chewing them...and "feel" that as a sound. I did once cave into this...sick, twisted temptation and bite a piece of chalk. It felt (and sounded) like i thought it would. I do not recommend it.

Ok. I have word vomited enough. Your turn!
