random admission of the day:

[jade_sabre]

my whole life, when I've read about scents and stuff in books--like, people catching a whiff of this or that--I always assumed that was just Something That Happened. Like, you threw in something about so-and-so's hair smelling like their shampoo or something because that was just another detail about the person you could include.

it wasn't until Malone recently admitted to me that she associates different people with their own scents that I realized that some people actually can smell a shampoo's scent without having to have their nose buried in said hair.

long story short: if you catch scent descriptions in my writing, I'm making it up, and if I can smell your cologne, you're wearing too much.




p.s. new layout requires more quotes and new icons, suggestions?

1 - I really detest people who wear too much perfume or cologne. Really, what are they thinking?

2 - I love Spike. He kicks Angel's a**.

1. Well, I'm a terrible judge of these things, so I generally just Don't Wear Any (unless the recently-washed status of an article of clothing has come into question. I mean what.).

2. THIS. Although I will say, David Boreanz looks does a damn good very fine job on Bones.
