When Was The Last Time You Did Something New?

The most recent time that I did something new, was when I ate a sardine for the very first time, and hopefully the last.  Before I reluctantly dropped that slimy, cold, tiny fish, into my mouth, I was almost positive I wasn't going to enjoy this.  By using my sense of smell, I developed a feeling of dread towards this sardine.  After all, I can't remember the last time I ate something that smelled awful, but tasted good.

As I consumed the small portion of seafood that lay before me, I immediately felt the urge to spit it out.  Somehow, I managed to swallow and force it down, after a gag provoking, salty, slimy, revolting, and disgusting experience.  The taste stuck with me for a few minutes after, but after that, I was fine.

Although I despise and fear this meal choice that was recently introduced to me, I encourage others to test their taste buds, and try a sardine as well.  You never know, you might like it.  You should always try new things, even if it doesn't appeal to you at first.  Plus, as odd as it is, I'm glad I got the opportunity to try a sardine.  Its both pleasant, and unpleasant memories and experience that stick with you, and build up your personality throughout your whole life.  I'm sure if you think hard about it, you'll dig up a memory that wasn't so great, and find a reason why it describes you, or maybe even why you're glad it happened.  Even if it's just a small detail or aspect.
