Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't know if I was ever a picky eater. Before I got my tonsils out when I was 5 I didn't eat a lot, but that was probably due to have strep throat often. After getting them out I ate nearly everything my parents served me. (Not liver. Smelled nasty, and my mom cooked it to the consistency of shoe leather. Needed a =lot= of ketchup for that.)

Now I find there are a number of things I don't like, or only like certain ways.(Onions have to either be chopped finely in a sauce, or breaded and fried. Raw onions are =right= out.) I can usually find something to eat wherever we go, and I like many different types of international cuisine.

...And that was more than you really wanted to know about my dining habits.

I do feel like I'd be torn, as an adult, on a kid being picky--some things are just annoying, but as an adult I STILL dislike mushrooms and raw onions (love cooked ones), and I doubt any amount of coaxing or demanding would've changed that.

I hate raw onions, they're too acidic. I'll eat caramelized onions out of the pan once they're cool enough.

Oh, Mr. Sweaty Man, please stop wafting your shirt. The bus is now filled with your smell, and I can assure you that your scent is not a pleasing one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

CMoS

I know this is Chicago Manual of Style (CMoS); IEEE style is based on it, but every time I see this my brain says "complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)" and then "what? no, that's not it."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

A random stranger at work stopped to tell me I have pretty hair. I suspect a lurker, right?

That's perfect, Allyson.

That is awesome, Allyson--the lurkers support you IN PERSON!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's pretty great.
