Writer's Block: The Expendable Sense(s)

[fathomlessspite]

[Error: unknown template qotd]Definitely taste.  I'd feel completely lost without sight or hearing, touch as well.  Smell isn't as important, but in terms of sense memory, i love it when you smell something (like a type of food, or a place or something) and it is like hotwired to a memory in your brain.
Taste would have to go, a lot of my enjoyment out of food is smell anyway

Okay, I love to see good looking guys and the funny things that people do. I love to see smiling faces and I am enthralled with color. So nix on losing my eyesight.

I love syntax and the way different accents and languages sound. I love the sound of laughter, especially in children. I love music, all kinds. Can't lose my hearing.

There is nothing like the smell of freshly baked bread, or onions frying. Half of eating is the smell. How would I know if I stink, if I couldn't smell myself. Even the smell of sweat is erotic and ... I'm keeping smelling

Food. Hands down...keeping taste!

Touch. When my mom was alive I was touched often. A hand caressing my arm, a touch on the back, a cupping of my face, holding my hand as we walked together *sniffs* (I miss her so much!) Me touching her, she was so soft and loving. Now, touching comes, not so much, and I miss the feel of skin on skin. Hand shakes and occasionally hugs at church are about the limit I receive, once a month. So since I've lost it anyway, I can give up the sense of touch. No touching is an abominable waste of what our Creator made skin for; humans are suppose to touch and be touched. Scientific fact: people die when they are not touched. When you think about it, no touching may be one of the major causes of mental illness and suicide.
