> You missed only what you'd have missed if you'd had a vanilla cone instead of a chocolate chip mint one, when you really would've rather have had the mint.
That's would rather have had or would've rather had. And I didn't mean to imply that your tastes were vanilla. Actually, I was speaking of me because I rarely stray from my favorite flavor, mint chocolate chip.
> Some folks find opera distasteful; others loathe country music. (I happen to dislike both, but I certainly can see what might appeal to others about them.)I sort of lied there. Some people read Sidney Sheldon, Judith Krantz (?), and Harold Robbins. I don't see how anyone could read that stuff!
I do get your point, Gabbi. I just think that we have to chalk it up to taste, more than anything else. We're just different.
I bought this gorgeous jacket on ebay and told my sister I can't believe anyone would sell this! I actually wrote to the seller to ask her why, because it was so beautiful, she gave it up. She told me she's a professional shopper for ebay, and she only bought it to sell. She might have kept it, but it was too small. Did it make me feel better to have my good taste confirmed? Maybe. I think we flock to those with similar tastes because we feel like we know something the rest of the world doesn't!
Really, we should hang out with people who don't have the same tastes so that we can make sure we get the clothing we want! (Okay, that's shallow. )
