Sight: The tips of mountains through clouds when you're on a plane. Looks like islands in a foamy sea :D

Sound: An Ed Sheeran song, probs.

Smell: Does an Ed Sheeran song have a smell? Just kidding :P My favourite smell is lemongrass essential oil.

Feeling: When you're drying off after a swim, and the salt pricks your skin!

Taste: You know that gorgeous taste that cheesecake has? With the buttery biscuit crumb and the sweet, creamy filling? Yeah. That.

Sight: The sight of the inside of a library or bookstore. I get so happy when I see all those books :D

Sound: "Common People" by Pulp. I love this song. I've been going back to some of the old music I use I listen to.

Smell: The scent of CK One by Calvin Klein.

Feeling: That really relaxing feeling you get when you lie down for the first time after a long day, and you just exhale.

Taste: Linguisa (Portuguese sausage) and rice with lemon juice.

Parker (flipwizard) Sight: The ocean from the top of a rocky cliff at the edge. You can see for miles out, and it's all just rolling blue and green with little white specks of seafoam gleaming at the shore. There are seashells all along the coast that glitter in the bright sun and the sand sparkles with little crushed pieces of softer shells.

Sound: Wind chimes in a gentle breeze. They make a harmonious sound when they swing lightly together that's quiet but yet carries very far. It's a magical chiming sound that is very easy to relax to, especially on a summer day when you can just recline in the backyard and listen.

Smell: Brownies in the oven. You can smell the chocolate from your bedroom and it practically pulls you to the kitchen. It's a hundred times better than cookies or cake because it's richer and you just can't wait until they're done!

Feeling: My feet on stone- it's really solid and reassuring but also rough and interesting, and there's something really natural about it that makes me feel grounded. When I'm standing on a rock- even if it's part of something unnatural- I feel safe in the mindframe that it won't wash away or fall out from under me.

Taste: A bagel that's warm and almost crispy fresh out of the toaster slathered with butter and sprinkled with garlic salt so that it all melts into the bread and becomes deliciously chewy.

Rav Grewal (r_grewal) sight: One of my favourite sights would have to be the ocean licking the sand as the tide comes in. The way the water moves, like its running back and foreword feels calming and relaxing.

sound: I like lots of sounds, but one of my favourite sound it going by a lake and listening to babies giggling, ducks quacking and splashing about in the water, and small children laughing giddily as their parents push them on the swing.

smell: The smell of freshly mown grass smell, so fresh and energising, is very addictive. Also the smell of new books, it also smells very fresh and uplifting, its makes me feel as though the book is ready to be delved into and loved to bits

feeling: Not many people like rain, but to me its one of the best feelings, standing outside, with the rain beating down, drenching you. Of course i only like it when its properly raining, I hate drizzle, it just feels as though it lacks the enthusiasm and energy that heavy rain has.

taste: The taste of ice~cream melting on your tongue along with the taste of biting into a cold, and crunchy and ripe green apple with the apple juice running down your chin making you sticky.



message 6: by Rose (new)

Rose B (annahuis) | 38 comments Sight: Looking out of an airplane when you're flying over a city. The red and green lights make everything look like Christmas, all light up and magical. It's like looking down on a little toy city during a Christmas celebration, everything is so small but detailed. It's like you've sprouted wings and flown high above the city, you're still there but kind of removed from it when you fly above it, separated by the silky white clouds.

Sound: The sound if the ocean when the waves crash against the shore and the seagulls call out and people are talking and laughing on the beach, so pretty much what the beach sounds like. I like the sound the water makes when it hits the shore, when I hear it I can pictures the mist spraying up into the air and then the waves slowing slipping back into the ocean.

Smell: The smell of salt water and the ocean. Its fresh and kind of takes over your senses when you smell it, and it's a very clear smell; you know exactly what it is when you smell it. It's a smell that I associate with the beach, so when I smell it I automatically picture the beach and the ocean (yea, I kind of love the beach).

Feeling: The feeling of knowing that you have nothing to worry about (no homework, school problems, etc.) and you have something great to look forward to. It just makes me feel free, especially when that thing I'm looking forward to is reading a new book.

Taste: I love anything sour, but especially warheads. I like the way when who pop one in your mouth you automatically pucker up and get all squinty-eyed. Whenever I eat warheads I find myself winking because they're so sour. It's the same way with really source waveforms, but I love the sweet ones when they're soft and they just kind of fill your mouth and taste like pure sugar melting down your throat.


message 7: by Aderonke (new)

Aderonke  (aderonkeakavinita) | 73 comments Sight: Seeing nature. All the seasons carry beauty in them. Winter with the fresh lain snow and bare trees. Spring with drenching rain that then sprouts lovely flowers. Summer has the hot sun beating down and tons of people attempting to get cool. Fall is gentle with guiding leaves of different shades trying to rush around the land.

Sound: The sound of my school's band. All of our instruments are amazing solo or as a section. But when you add us together to play a song, we are brilliant musicians with unique timbres being brought for greatness.

Smell: The glorious smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate's scent wafts through the air that fills my house, reminding me of times with my family, like Christmas. My younger sister and I sprint to get the one with the most morsels.

Feeling: The feeling of books. Whether old or new, the pages against my fingers make me take more pleasure into the deep plot of the book.

Taste: The cool sensation of my mom's peach cream cheesecake pie cake. With the sweetness of the fruit, delicious taste of cream cheese, a crust of cake batter, and shaped like a pie. I long for it before and after devouring it, savoring every last bite.


message 8: by RLF (new)

RLF | 104 comments Sight: Watching the sun come up and over the calming ocean, after a long wavy night. Watching the light make all of the water sparkle and shimmer like most never see.

Sound: The laughter of small children, so innocent and happy, its full of natural joy! Their giggles and squeals, that only can make you truly laugh and truly smile!

Smell: The smell of rain, after it has rained, it smells fresh and clean, like all of earths pains and sorrows were washed away by the feel of the sweet salty water that lands so softly from the heavens.

Feeling: Feeling a hug, a true loving hug when you need it the most, When you are sad, and you get a big hug that truly relaxes you and lets you know that that person is there for you, and you are not alone. The compassion that is passed on thru out the feel of the warm body holding you, soothing all of your worries and regrets and pains away.

Taste: The taste of a replenishing sip of hydration. The first drink you've had in a long time, the taste that it leaves behind, the clean and fulfilling taste of hydration, This taste comes along with water or a nice cold soda on a simmering hot summer day.

Parker (flipwizard) Everyone stole my ocean idea. XD

message 13: by Theodosia of the Fathomless Hall (last edited Apr 18, 2014 05:42PM) (new)

Theodosia of the Fathomless Hall (taelianaofthewind) Favorite Sight:
Mountains in mist. The tops are engulfed in fog that covers it halfway down to where pines - gray pines - resume. It is a memory from early childhood... Missouri at my grandparents'.

Favorite Smell: The smell of success!
No, actually it's probably the tangy smell of lemon ammonia. It doesn't insinuate its scent on your senses but charges in a manner? (Geez, purple prose like mad!) It throws the smell at your nostrils and silently joins the air.

Favorite Sound: Nature-made the call of seabirds.
Man-made the sound of bells. Nearby our home is a chapel. First the chimes go dong, ding, dong dong then the bells sonorously roll measuredly. It is glorious, quaint, and sad between the space of each peal.

Favorite Feeling?
Just happiness. Warmth at an act or look from the boy I fancy, the almighty triumph of learning something new, helping, or practicing generosity, it lifts the heart. Also, cardinally, being yourself even if it's conceited like I! Many more like discussing geekiness and academics with my brother, etc.

Favorite Taste: Neapolitan quatro formage pizza. Cheese granted orange hue by the four cheeses in it lift off the bread and melt in your mouth, the aftertaste prolonged so you can like your lips and subject more pieces of pizza to your crushing mandible's icy fist! Wait, that simile makes no sense at all...

All of these are wonderful! I can clearly envision them, RLF, Dria, Vinita, Ravdeep, Kipling, Low! All are marvellous.


-Marienna.

YAY!

Artsygal402 | 2 comments sight: an untouched blanket of snow sparkeling in the light of the moon, and sprinkled with pine needles from nearby evergreen trees.
sound: the laughter of me and my friends after hearing or seeing or doing something hilarious, making me know that everything is okay, and I have people who care about me enough to let me join in on the laughter
smell: the smell of yeast coming from the distillery just outside of my small town

taste: oreo icecream, or pepsi, or a pepsi float. pretty much, icecream and soda pop


message 25: by [deleted user] (new)

Sight: Sun streaming through trees. In the summer I love hiking in the woods and being surrounded by all the beautiful flora.
Sound: birds chirping out side my window in the morning
Smell: Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies
Feeling: Having a long expected book in your hands and no homework
Taste: eating those freshly baked chocolate chip cookies

message 27: by [deleted user] (new)

{Sight}
The sight of the beautiful evening sky. 6:30 PM to around 9 PM. It's been getting warmer, and instead of gross, grey, cloudy skies in the fall and winter, the sky is streaked with oranges, pinks, and the fluffy clouds float through the endless Ocean Sky...and the sight is just glorious and wondrous.

{Smell}
The smell of the air after it rains. It's refreshing, slightly moist, and makes you feel alive.

{Sound}
The sound of loud, pounding music in my ears s I block out the world. The music is heavy metal. Some say it's just a bunch of,"animals screaming nonsense," but I disagree. Listen to the lyrics, and the meaning, mood, and feeling of the song, and you might just see a tortured soul in the band, and deep meanings in the lyrics.

{Feeling}
The feeling of cool, alive wind slapping my cheeks, as I ride my bike down the neighborhood; alone and free.

{Taste}
The taste of a single delicious, red apple in my mouth. The first bite, of course. The first bite is always the best.

Theodosia of the Fathomless Hall (taelianaofthewind) YUM. Apples, apples, apples, delicious. I can understand the pluvial (That is, relating to rain. Okay, right, I Googled it.) as well. It's raining right now... Lovely.
Oh btw. It's called petrichor. It comes from bacteria being cleansed from the ground. Neat, eh?
