I had my first taste of an alcoholic beverage (some kind of wine whose name I can neither remember nor spell

) the other day at dinner. As I predicted over a month back, I hated the taste.

: Waaaaaay too bitter for me.

EDIT: This post itself marks a more significant personal milestone: my 300th GOF post!

I had my first sip of beer back in Ireland. It wasn't that great, but I never really liked alcohol anyway.

I had my first glass of beer less than a month ago. It was a Budweiser. It wasn't THAT great, but it was a lot easier than drinking red wine.

I have insanely hard bones and my right elbow is seemingly insensitive to pain (I once elbow bashed a steel locker hard enough to leave a small dent but I didn't feel much afterwards.)

My bones must be like bricks. For somebody who has played in high-contact sports growing up, been in a car wreck, fallen down countless times, knocked a Christmas tree down on herself, and has been in almost any slapstick mishap imaginable, I have never broken a bone :blink:.

Depends on what you drink...some are much more bitter than others. For example, I haven't an acquired taste for Guinness (a dark beer). Now THAT is bitter.

I prefer the wines and harder liquors over beer.

It probably won't be the last alcoholic drink I try, but I'm kind of hoping that I don't find one that tastes good to me.

The trouble with me is, when I find something I like, it usually becomes an addiction for me. (Take LBT, for example,

or dinosaurs, or trilobites, or bats, or kiwi, or other animals, or root beer, or pizza, or certain books, or rocks and fossils, or Ice Age 3...the list goes on.) It'd probably be bad if I found a form of alcohol I enjoyed so much that I wanted to drink it all the time.

I doubt that I'll ever drink any alcoholic drink.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #849 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:41:32 PM

Same here, and I also doubt I'll ever smoke.

Mumbling · **Reply #850 on:** August 24, 2009, 12:48:59 PM

I won't ever smoke. There's no doubt in that at all.

I love fruit, but I'm not a fan of veggies.

Neither will I. The prospect of flooding my lungs with the carcinogenic fumes of a burning poisonous plant has somehow never appealed to me

(no offense to any smokers who might be reading this).

I often can't resist getting spoilers for books and movies.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #854 on:** August 24, 2009, 08:07:26 PM

Do you need any?

tempestwheel · **Reply #855 on:** August 24, 2009, 08:24:52 PM

Not at the moment. I pretty much have a good idea what all the deaths in Final Destination 4 will be.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #856 on:** August 24, 2009, 08:33:10 PM

Awww, I like spoiling things for people sometimes, but only for stories/movies I dislike. But I will now spoil EVERY single plot in existence; SOMETHING HAPPENS!

: I'm trying to break that habit, especially when it comes to books, movies, and TV shows that I know (or strongly suspect

) I'll like a lot.

I like older Space Opera sci-fi features... but with few exceptions, I dislike the more recent ones... probably because the new ones are so pessimistic and dark, and the older ones are usually optimistic.

I once had to take a dresser apart with my bare hands.
