Friday free-for-all

[synecdochic]

Looks like I missed last week's already. Oops :D

This post is a free-for-all for people to:

a) post links to perfume-related content they posted elsewhere (on or off DW)
b) talk about anything they want to talk about that isn't big enough for a full post
c) socialize and hang out without worrying about "off topic"
d) or anything else that comes to mind!

Hee! Several of my sweater cuffs smell similarly.

... actually, I really LIKE that. Mmmmmmmm.

[synecdochic]

I don't mind it! But it's very odd, especially when combined with the sickly sweat-and-grunge-and-decaying-neoprene that neoprene braces turn into so quickly even if you wash them regularly. (When I'm giving my talk about RSI at conferences, I tell people to make sure the braces they get are machine-washable, because they will smell "like liquid death" very quickly.)

Oh. Yeah, that makes sense. I imagine you're used to the way they smell normally and can ignore it, but the perfume makes the whole thing more noticeable.

(I have a rule: Never put on perfume right before changing the litter box. Because the perfume smells good so I keep sniffing, and then I realize it's layered over cat litter and ugh -- and then I do it again in thirty seconds, because I'm not that smart.)

Heeeee. Yeah, I've done that too :D

And yeah, I can usually ignore the way my skin smells right after I take them off (I can, and do, wash my hands first thing, but even soap and water doesn't get the liquid-death smell to go away completely) but it's just odd to have "liquid death plus the dregs of a dozen different BPAL scents"!
