sensory overload

February's the month of love, you know. But instead of discussing red hearts, cupids, and exes we can't quite get over (or ones that we're SO over), let's share some of our other loves. Your task for February's extra credit (due 2/28) is to share one of your favorite things for each of the five senses. Feel free to elaborate/explain as much as you'd like and comment on each other's choices. I'll break the ice...

Some of Stefani's beloved sensory things:
SIGHT: The moment when hundreds of graduation caps are thrown in the air.
SOUND: Crickets on a summer night, hands down. Also the sound of a football team's cleats on asphalt.
SMELL: Homegrown roses. I don't care if there are little bugs inside; I'll stick my face in and snort.
TASTE: Ripe peaches--the kind you can't eat on a first date because you end up slurping and getting juice all over your chin and hands and you don't even care.
TOUCH: A baby's bottom. Yes, the cliche about it being the world's softest surface is true. (And no, I won't let you rub my newborn's butt to confirm; go find your own baby.)

  1. Sight: Watching zombies being killed in Walking Dead. (the most amazing zombie series in the world). I just like watching something dying--on TV
    Sound: Listening to classical music to feel calm and since I am also in orchestra. Also listening to my cat meowing...fascinating.
    Smell: Brownies in the oven. No one can hate the smell of chocolate...unless they are on a diet but that's their problem.
    Taste: Raw Food. I mean it, whether it is vegetables, raw meat, raw fish...I will probably die of parasites one day.
    Touch: My cat. Cat are so soft, but they shed like crazy and dig their claws when mad.

  2. My favorite sound is the sound of the ocean because nothing is more calming than the constant rolling of waves breaking over the shore. My favorite sight is probably the morning right after a rain. Everything is so clear and blue so you can almost see for miles. My favorite smell is the smell of fresh apple pie because its apple pie. Along the theme of pie, my favorite taste is the taste of pumpkin pie. I could eat at least a whole pumpkin pie at most any given time. My favorite thing in the touch category is the feel of my dogs ears because they are always so soft and amazingly smooth.

  3. My favorite thing to here is the sound of the football fans cheering after a big play has been made, or just a big crowd in general cheers. My favorite thing to touch is flour because its soooo soft. Too bad i never cook so its a rare occasion for me to touch it. My favorite thing to smell is everything because i cant smell so everything smells like air to me. My favorite thing to eat chocolate because it tastes really good. Lastly, my favorite thing to see is my dog when i get home from school, he is always so excited to see me.

    Smell: The fresh air on a hot summer day. Something about going on a drive with my family or friends with the windows down and being able to just breathe fresh air is really nice.

    Taste: Anything sweet! I love to bake so of course you got to try it! Then my step dads BBQ food. We have a Treger and I'd say there is no going back to a regular BBQ!

  11. Sight: Temple Square at any time of the year. It's so beautiful and calming there, even though it's right in the middle of downtown Salt Lake.
    Sound: The sound of Jack Johnson's voice. His music is so relaxing and always puts me in a good mood when I listen to it.

    Touch: I love touching fuzzy blankets and pillows. They are just so soft it drives me crazy.

    Smell: I really love the Pure Seduction body spray from Victorias Secret, not gonna lie. Don't judge me until you've tried it. I also like the smell of cows which is kinda gross I guess. My grandparents own a farm so I kind of grew up around them.
    Touch: My dogs ears. They are seriously amazing.
    Taste: I REALLY like pasta, and fruit, and chinese food. Basically anything.

    Sight: The embrace between a soldier reuniting with their loved ones when they come back from war. Sunsets are definitely second in my opinion. And I can't forget about Channing Tatum's abs!

    Sound: Children's laughter is probably the cutest sound I've ever heard. John Mayer's singing is absolutely heaven. I never get tired of listening to guitar solos from the artist Carlos Santana either.

    Smell: french toast, freshly brewed coffee, Juicy Couture perfume, buttered popcorn, homemade cookies, Voodoo Donuts

    taste: a chai latte from Birdie's Bistro (the flavor of theirs, though, is like a cinnamon roll in a cup, but, like, a cinnamon roll straight from the oven of heaven),

    touch: without a doubt, its my hair when its straight out of the hair salon after its been lathered in those creamy, perfume-scented, but oh-so-ridiculously priced shampoos and its been styled. I still don't understand how something can feel so soft...(and if you're a girl and reading this, I know you know what I'm talking about)

  24. Sight: I love seeing a pit bull playing with small kids. It's so precious! I just want to take a picture and cram it down the throats of people who believe this breed of dog is a threat

    Smell: Eggs and bacon on Saturday morning. It's so amazing to smell. I love waking up in the morning and smelling it

    Sound: I love the sound of my baby girl (she's not mine, I've known her since she was born, she's 6 today) calling my name when she sees me. She yells, "Leeyyyssssiiiaaa!!" And runs to me and jumps in my arms :)

    Touch: I love petting my kitty. She is the softest thing ever! I also love the feeling of my hair brushing against my back. It gives a tickling sensation, and I love being tickled! Not like, a make-me-pee-my-pants tickle, but a soft, feather-like tickle.

    Taste: I love the taste of dark chocolate. I have no idea why, I just love it! it tastes so good! My favorite would have to be 70%

  25. Sight: The beautiful pictures my nana took when she went to Australia. Something about looking at the pictures she took makes you feel like you're there and for a moment you can feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and the peacefulness of the setting horizon.

    Sound: My favorite sound would most definitely be the sound of my younger siblings yelling my name in excitement to see me as soon as I open the front door to my dads house and when hearing that sound followed by the sound of their tiny feet pitter patting against the floor I know then that I will always and forever have special places in my heart for them.

    Smell: The sweet smell of Hawaiian Tropic sunblock that brings back the warmth of the hot summer weather and the great memories made during summer. I also love the smell of mint gum or minty mouthwash, I'm not sure why but I just really love it!

    Taste: A taste I could never live without is probably the taste of waffles smothered in peanut butter and drenched in syrup. That will always be, by far, my favorite taste in the world.

    Touch: I love to just feel and pet my dogs' ears that are so smooth and soft that they feel like they are made out of silk. I also could never give up the feeling of warm sand under me feet when I go to the beach.

  26. Taste: The silky smooth taste of chocolate. Ummm, yes! I absolutely love the richness of dark chocolate as well. After a long hard day, it's nice to come home to a sweet, delicious treat!

    Sound: Living in Oregon, there's a lot of rain. One of my favorite sounds is to just listen to the raindrops; it's very calming. Another sound I couldn't live without is my music. Indeed, I am a singer, and I love my music. The softness, and richness of certain peoples' voices is incredibly wonderful to me.

    Touch: The feeling of two different terrains completely soothe me. The sand on a wide open beach and the feeling of grass when I lay down in the summer are both amazing to me. I love being about to feel the sand or grass between my toes!

    Sight: Smile. That's what I love to see most in the people I love. I love being able to make my loved ones happy and to seeing them smile and laugh makes me feel like I have a true purpose.

    Smell: Even as a child, I loved the smell of some nice, buttery popcorn. Going to the movies meant getting a giant bowl of my favorite treat! Another smell I love to sniff is coffee. The scent of freshly brewed coffee can easily fill the room and I feel completely at ease around it.

  27. I must say that my dog has really soft hair, and it's one of the best things to feel and pet. It's also nice that dogs can move and can go along with people almost anywhere they go. I love how wherever I go in the house, I have a white fluffy thing following me around wanting affection and attention.
    I think the best scent I have smelled is the insides a new viola. I recently bought one, and have gotten a few strange looks from people when I have a large wooden instrument so close to my nose, and not under my chin where it belongs. Some people might think it's strange, but to me, it is very appealing.
    The things I enjoy looking at the most are the waves of the sea. I am able to spend hours, if I don't freeze myself in the weather, looking at the waves and watching for similarities and differences, comparing each wave to the next. It's kind of hypnotic, how constant and changing the waves are.
    If it's not obvious enough from reading my favorite scent to smell, I'll provide what I like to listen to the most. I enjoy music, and specifically the music that comes from real instruments played by real people with real emotion. It bothers me to no end when pop songs replace a melodic instrument or line with a replicated sound that plays the same notes the same way every time. What pleases my ears is a musician that is able to fully express themselves through whatever sound they produce, whether it be singing or playing something.
    My favorite taste is the freshness of a brand-new viola bought fresh from the store. I'm just joking, I have other things that I like to do that don't involve music, even if there is music in my head constantly. I enjoy tasting my mom's cinnamon rolls that she bakes from scratch right in our home. She typically makes them twice a year, and I can hardly wait to taste them each time.

  28. Sight: The night sky when I'm camping at Detroit Lake is so amazing. There are so many more stars out there to look at and you can even see shooting stars!

    Touch: I love those fuzzy blankets and pillows at Target. Everytime I walk by them I have to feel them. Kittens and puppies are pretty sweet too.

    Taste: My mom's cooking! I love asian food so much. I just love eating a lot in general.


    Sound: I think laughter is one of my favorite sounds. Especially when it's that kind of laugh that will make you laugh just because the other person is laughing.

    Smell: Typical, but I love the smell of rain. It's refreshing and really relaxing.

  29. Sight: The last few minutes of a sunset at the beach is always so bright and colorful. It is absolutely gorgeous and breath-taking.

    Touch: I love the feeling of sun in the winter. When there isn't any wind and the sun is shining and you feel warm for just a little bit of time when it has been cold for weeks it feels really comforting.

    Sound: I love the sound of rain. It sounds so cool if you go into an empty gym or in a car and its raining. It is really relaxing.

    Smell: I love the smell of cedar. It smells crisp and fresh.

    Taste: Fruit. Any kind of fruit is like heaven to me. I love the juicy, sweet taste of fresh fruit.

  30. Sight: My favorite sight is hands down, driving into Portland at night and seeing my favorite city alive. Every time I'm there at night, I'm just in awe of all of the tall buildings, and city lights.

    Touch: My favorite touch is probably holding hands with someone. I don't care who it is-- friend, family members, boyfriend, whoever. I like the feeling of being close to someone in that way and having the reassurance of someone else being there.

    Sound: I love the sound of a rock concert. The loud music over the speakers, the roaring of the crowd.

    Smell: I love the smell of my favorite perfume. Sometimes I spray it on my pillow at night and it helps me fall asleep. It reminds me of the city as well.

    Taste: I love the taste of warm, chocolate chip cookies with a tall glass of milk. It's so cliche, but it just reminds me of when I was a little kid.'

  32. Sight: Ummm well... I surprised my best friend on her birthday by flying out to her house in Idaho, and when she opened the door her face was kind of a great sight. She was super confused but then she smiled really big and somewhat attacked me. That was nice. So basically, my best friend.

    Sound: Any music by my favorite bands/singers. Or my older sister's voice because I don't get to talk to her very often. Oh, and laughing. I always laugh whenever I hear other people laughing. Unless I hate them.

    Smell: My dad's chocolate chip cookies <3 They smell freaking amazing. Or my dad's blueberry pancakes. His cooking is on point.

    Taste: My dad's chocolate chip cookies or blueberry pancakes. Or Olive Garden breadsticks with alfredo sauce. Or KitKats. Or ketchup. But not all together, that's disgusting.

    Touch: A new book. That sounds weird but I think it's great when you open a new book and the pages are nice and crisp and the spine isn't all worn out already. I don't understand people who read on Kindles or iPads. I like books.

  33. Sight: My favorite thing to see would be people being happy, when they are full of joy and love. Not like people laughing at dumb things, but when they have authentically joyous eyes towards something special. Being a witness to such moments makes me a happy person!

    Sound: Early morning bird songs, wind moving through tree tops, worship songs, guitar music, oceans wind and waves, and laughter.

    Smell: The ocean air and all its freshness, my pillow (especially after a long day), and yummy food!!

    Taste: Orange juice, rain, chocolate, and FOOD!!!

    Touch: A hug form a loved one, vibrations from guitar strings, handles on my bike, and lake water in the summer.

  34. Sight: The ocean, the mountains, or any really nice scenic view you would take a picture of and use as a wallpaper.

    Sound: Classic rock, like on 92.3. Today's music is such garbage and music from then actually required talent and had meaning behind it, I love to hear me some Beatles, Elton John, or The Who for example.

    Smell: Well, this one's a bit tricky, I'd say something like a fresh rain, or trees, maybe campfires.

    Taste: I love red fruit, sweet red fruit that is, and pineapple. Things like strawberries, cherries, raspberries, that sort of thing, and blackberry.

    Touch: The fur behind a cat's ear, or under their chin, it's so ridiculously soft I didn't even know it was possible.

  36. Sight: Seeing all the beauty of God's creation is awe inspiring and I love just looking at Oregon's natural beauty.
    Sound: I am not like many kids my age in the way that most kids like classical music whereas I like classical. Classical is where I believe the true beauty of music is shown.
    Smell: Smell is one of the great gifts God gives us and I simply love smelling fresh pastry.
    Touch: I like the touch of water in a river or when it gently flows over my hand. I also like the feeling of recently washed and dried bedsheets.
    Taste: I love the taste of fresh pastry, ice cream, and sandwiches. Nothing is better than a well made sandwich.

  38. Sight: I love when my family and I hike to the top of a mountain or to a lake and are greeted by the gorgeous sights of the sun, mountains, and the flowers that bloom in the open spaces.
    Sound: I have deep love the sound of wind rustling through trees. Also, in autumn when the dried leaves crunch under your feet.
    Smell: I LOVE the smell of lilacs! If I could pick one thing to smell for the rest of my life, that would be the first thing. Also, eastern Oregon has quite a distinct scent. Every time I smell the "Eastern Oregon Scent" It brings back fabulous memories from years past.
    Taste: Sushi. Not the fake california roll sushi; the good stuff. I also could eat Thai food every day until I were old and wrinkled.
    Touch: I enjoy going to the art store (you're not supposed to) and taking all the fine (and really expensive) paintbrushes and rub them on my cheeks. It's a little weird, but there's not much else to do in an art store. Also, hugs. Hugs are a treasure that can not be denied. There are also these cool leafy perennials called Lamb Ears that are extremely soft and grow in the spring time. They definitely qualify as one of the "little things" that make life more enjoyable.

  42. Sight: I love seeing the countryside. I love the open fields, with horses grazing and very few houses. Somehow, something that simple can always take my breath away.
    Sound: The symphony orchestra. Well, I guess any symphony orchestra. The sound of two such different ensembles blending together to create such amazing sound is something I'll never get tired of hearing.
    Smell: Freshly mowed grass is probably my favorite scent. But not so much in the city, for some odd reason.
    Taste: When peanut butter is mixed with chocolate, whether it be some candy or shake, is the most delicious thing for my taste buds.

    Sight: Seeing my dogs' faces and their tails wagging when I come home from school or somewhere else. It makes me feel happy to see them so happy.

    SOUND: Listening to Acapella groups, coming together and harmonizing with nothing but the human work of art
