zhukora1 asks: Got any phobias or otherwise irrational aversions? If so, do they/have they ever affected your decisions or the way you choose to live your life?
I'd like to think it's not irrational, but I don't like wondering where my basic needs will be coming from, or relying on others for them. When I interned for NVIDIA for a summer, I didn't have confirmation about the room I was renting until the evening that I'd already driven into town, and I was parked on some friends' couch. That was not a fun week, and it prompted me to get whatever apartment I could before moving to Salt Lake, without any of this "visiting" nonsense. The apartment I ended up in was poorly insulated and not in the most convenient location. The same reasoning had applied when I had several job prospects in SLC and none in San Diego; fortunately that has been resolved.
ozzygoddess asks: What is the least desirable of all household chores and why?
Dusting, oh gods dusting. Either you just kick all the dust back up into the air so it can fall all over everything again, or you use some tool approximating a wet washcloth that can't get into all the tiny little crannies you find (never mind the ones you forget). There's always more places than you could have possibly thought, and anywhere there's a sharp corner you can't quite get into you end up with a margin of dust all around your clean surface. And you knock stuff over or otherwise make a mess in the process.
