[proximoception]

Things that set my teeth on edge:

The word "lover" from anyone but Debbie Harry.
The words "intimate", "erotic", "sensuous" and "taboo".
Combinations thereof. Presumably everyone's with me here.
The Millay poem where they go back and forth on the ferry.
The Williams poem with those excruciating plums.
The movie Frailty.
The movie Donnie Darko.
Whatever has happened to music these last seven, eight years.
Tamarind seeds in Indian food.
Academic jargon.
