Note from an insomniac

Woke up with random anxiety insomnia last night/this morning, so decided to kill time reading fanfic. Searching for lj coms with a "femslash" interest I came across genficfinder. "That's odd, I thought, femslash /= gen". And then I noticed their default icon said "It's all about sex baby".

Note to genficfinder: you keep using these words "gen fic" and "all fandoms", I do not think they mean what you think they mean, ie slash from "Anything from Panic! At The Disco to Slayer!" (I'll admit, there may also be some femslash in there somewhere, I didn't look very hard)

On the plus side, it just occured to me to search for "femslash + recs" at delicious. Huzzah!

I was going to say "But of course now it's 7am and Cam will be getting up so I can talk to him", but then remembered it's a Saturday, so I have hours to kill till then :D

What can't you eat?

I thought about doing a poll (and may later) but people are so complicated decided it was easier just to ask. Partly out of curiousity, partly because having such extreme restrictions myself has made me want to be aware of other people's issues and cater to them where possible.

So: what can't you eat? I'm including moral choices and extreme taste preferences (ie you can't stand chili), but not anything where you'd rather not eat it but can put up with it if you have to, the operative word is can't.

So, mine:
I've gone back onto gluten (THANK GOD) but am otherwise being quite picky. So this is just where I'm at for now.

None: dairy, coconut, unfermented soy, chili, alcohol
Minimal: caffeine, cocoa or cocoa butter, artificial sweetners, acid (this includes fruits like plums and citrus, most fruit juices, salad dressing, preserved veggies and pickles, soft drink, and vinegar), spring onions/leek/watercress/chives, peppermint, paprika/red capsicum, fat (ie deepfried stuff), mustard, kidney beans, possibly pine nuts.

Also some artificial chemicals disagree with me but apart from artificial sweetners I haven't been able to pin down which exactly, so I just avoid overly processed foods. Gluten free flour mixes are definitely all bad, I think it may be the xanthum gum.

The usual disclaimers apply.
