flowers are pretty but i always notice the way that they smell more than anything. i've heard that some people have this thing called allergies that makes them less enjoyable. maybe i wouldn't like them much then either, because your nose gets all stuff and food doesn't have much taste if you can't smell it.

other things that i like the smell of: grilled meat. even if it's not spiced, it still smells good. fresh cut herbs, because it brings back good memories. coffee, even if i don't think i'll ever like the taste of it. snow - someone once told me that snow doesn't really smell like anything but it does. oh, and babies. babies always smell good, except when they need a diaper change.

what's your favorite smell? is it something just from home or have you found it here too? or maybe there's one that you don't like. those scented candles never really smell like what they say on the jar to me.

and skunks really stink, but i think most people would agree on that.

The smell of mountains.

[foxtrots]

ah. yeah, that.

i think i've been in cities for too long. i was born at the bottom of a mountain and i didn't even think of it.

[luckyescape]

I was born near a mountain with a lot of woods. IT always makes me think of home.

[foxtrots]

where is home for you? which country?

[luckyescape]

Montana. You?

[foxtrots]

korea originally, but i lived in texas most recently.

what's montana like? is it good for people...you know, ones like us?

[luckyescape]

Yeah. A lot of forests and mountains and protected areas. My cousin is a park ranger in Flathead National Park, which is one of the places where people are literally fined out the wazoo if you get caught trying to hike or hunt there.

[foxtrots]

that sounds...really nice.

i definitely want to visit there someday!

wait, are there a lot of restaurants in montana?

[luckyescape]

You should. There are a lot of cities and towns with restaurants. Those aren't in the forests, obviously but it's still a place that normal people live.

[foxtrots]

yeah, definitely sounds nice. definitely visiting.

i'll look for you there!

[luckyescape]

I generally tend to avoid my home state.

[For oh so many reasons.]

[foxtrots]

[reasons he has to ask about now, you know he does.]

why?

[luckyescape]

It's personal. I don't like getting into it.

[foxtrots]

ah, ok.

i think maybe i don't want to go there after all.

[luckyescape]

Why not? It's a cool place. Just too many sad memories for me to want to go back any time soon... again. I was about to go back once before, before I came here anyway.

[foxtrots]

i just thought that if it was a place that made you feel bad about something, i didn't like it either.

that's like me and korea.

[luckyescape]

Not exactly.
There are just a lot of people I don't want to talk to there.
I'm a fan of avoidance.
