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.

love the smell of leather. but also thyme, and rosemary, rosewood, sandalwood. reminds me of being a kid.

love the smell of rain, too. and the smell of sand, when it's been baking in the sun for a long time.

whoever told you that snow doesn't smell of anything was a liar.

[foxtrots]

why do they remind of you it?

rain is such a nice smell. clean. i can't remember ever smelling sand before, but now i really want to.

because my mom was always making little bundles of these herbs and plants, used them around the house for protection
and we lived in the forest, so it's all reminiscent of it, for me.

it's just this really warm smell. the kind that's hard to describe.

[foxtrots]

was your mom a witch?

i wonder if there's anything like that around here.

[tanker]

no, not in the sense you mean, anyway
she was very much in touch with nature, and our spiritual roots

hopefully there is!

[foxtrots]

she must've loved you a lot.

was there anything in particular she was trying to protect you from?

[tanker]

she did.

it was mostly about bad spirits, bad luck, these kinds of things. I didn't really believe it worked.

[foxtrots]

was it because you just didn't believe at all, or was your luck bad anyway?

[tanker]

can't say i've been unlucky, no. But I didn't want to believe in higher powers. I have always wanted to feel responsible for my own actions and my own choices.

[foxtrots]

ah

this is why you're the coolest guy i've ever met.
