Boots and chicken rice soup



Trigger Workshop

Visual: turning dolls at either Stirling or Edinburgh castle, Scotland  wonder
I’m not quite sure how else to describe it other than turning dolls. They’re dressed in renaissance/medieval clothing and there are three of them. And they turn. It’s one of my earliest memories
Olfactory: new leather  happiness
It’s new! So new! And completely usable and (probably) not fragile. I like new things that I can use and have for a long time.
Auditory: Caribbean Blue (enya)  innocence
Another one of my earliest memories, I listened to it while my father was working (construction) http://enya.com/videos.php?vid=d weblink
Gustatory: chicken rice soup  disgust
I thought the rice was snails. Yuck. I was also eight or around there and the feel of revolt just stuck. (It took me three days to finish, yeah my parents did that)
Tactile: ultra-smooth things (like a Mac finger-mouse pad)  shivers-up-the-spine feeling
(There’s smooth, like the keys on this keyboard, and ultra-smooth, like large panes of glass, so smooth your fingers stick) Just a reflex action to really smooth things, I’m not really sure why. Akin to the “walking over the grave” feeling.
