Documented evidence of my fetish dates back to when I was two or three years old. Like most kids, I loved coloring in coloring books. And though I have little memory of this, I used to go through and color everyone's noses red. I remember two examples of this well- being my Peanuts coloring books and my Old King Cole tale coloring book. Poor Old King Cole, every single page the man looked sick (either that or drunk!)

• Charlie Brown #1 -Schroder stares at someone's red nose
• Charlie Brown #2- Nose colored in
• Charlie Brown #3- Doesn't he look miserable? Is it any wonder I colored only certain parts of this one?
• Charlie Brown #4- Pepperment Patty's sick, too... and Charlie Brown has.. an ear infection??
• Charlie Brown #5- Come on, they even look sick! Can't blame me for a good imagination, can you?

I liked to draw and would sometimes draw little cartoon characters with colds, many times making up stories about them.

• Drawing #1- some alien, sick in bed with a cold. Tissues, medicine, and multiple trash cans (?)
• Drawing #2- Man's face as he holds back a sneeze. The nose isn't bad... but the rest of his face- ug!
• Drawing #3- The sneeze- I think I'm glad I gave up on drawing!
