Am I the only one who thinks that seawater is delicious? Just curious.


Do you mean to drink? I think only if I stay some time ingesting few salt.
And what about pure water after a long time at the sea?

I have always liked water. I actually like being outside when it rains. I also can watch or touch flowing water for hours.

I can spend a whole swimming pool trip just diving underwater, I love the feeling. The weightlessness of dropping to the bottom, the cool, wet sensation surrounding me, and just being able to relax with nothing but wide water noises to listen to. As I a kid I would play with water, juggling it from glass to glass; on days when the mud was wet in the playground, I would take sticks and carve out my own tiny rivers in the dirt for water to get to the drainage system, and watch it all pour out happily. I used to have a problem with showering too long, but eventually the hollers of my brother wanting the shower and my mom complaining about the hydro bill got to me.

I used to be the same way with taking showers

I kind of like the way it sounds too but fast moving water can get irritating

I am not very athletic, but I am a strong swimmer.

I had a Siamese cat who was very fond of water. I think it is a Siamese trait.

I enjoy watching water fountians. Especially the ones acrossed the street from the coffee house that I go to, sometimes when they're lit up in the night with blueish green lighting.

Absolutely yes. Wow, I was just thinking about my thing with water, too. It has an almost hypnotic effect on me. It's as if my already tenuous grip on the passage of time is completely released when I'm in contact with or near water.

I used to live in Chicago, and whenever I was able, I'd ride my bike to the lake and sit there for hours and hours just staring out at the water. Probably the biggest thing I miss from there. That and the big goopy thunderstorms. :D

I used to love building dams etc. as a kid, and I still love watching "pretty water", even fake water in computer graphics.

Bet the water from the Playstation 1 days was pretty shocking, though!

Virtual water is more encompassing for me.

I like watching rivers,fountains and waterfalls.
Conversely I've never been a good swimmer or enjoyed going in water !

I never had a PS1 but yeah I mean more sort of "modern" fake water.

I also have a mild fascination with water. My desktop background is a moving water-style animation, I also take long showers, and during the last big thunderstorm we had here, I went outside and just stood in the rain and watched it.
