What's that smell?
I like to think that I have a pretty good sense of smell. When I walked in my building, I caught a whiff of something in the lobby, and immediately thought to myself, "Domino's Cinnastix". Sure enough, when I got up to my suite, Jon was eating Cinnastix and a pizza. I would say that I enjoy smells in general. Maybe that's part of the reason I have such a weakness for food. When I was young, I always used to sniff weird things. I would sniff my stuffed animals and my Dad. They were good, comforting smells. I still do it to some extent. Just this morning I was lying in bed and sniffed my pillow. I also like the scent of rain and dead leaves. These are smells that I associate with fall, but still I wouldn't say that there is a single scent for fall. Some people at my small group tonight were saying that different seasons had different smells...just the air itself. That's something I just really don't get. What do you all think? Is there a particular smell for each season, or rather are there just certain smells that you associate with times and places? I know that the later is definitely true for me. Walking around campus, when I catch a whiff of something, it usually brings back certain memories for me; people and places and events. Not all of the memories are always good, but there are still associations. The same thing happens for other senses as well. For example, certain songs will bring back certain memories for me. It can be strange and unexpected, but ultimately it's a fun trip back in time. Anyway, this was just one of those strange little moments that I thought I would share.
Current Mood: Tormented
Currently listening to: Stay What You Are by Saves The Day and Steal This Album! by System of a Down
Last movie I saw: THX 1138 (completely)
One line review: Very stylish, but that made it somewhat hard to follow; the ending was kind of cheesy
On a scale of 0-5 sucks (0 being the best): 2.0 sucks (on style)
