odoriferous

I soak up smell like kitty litter soaks up pee. (ew) I will blame it on my hair. It absorbs any and ALL smells.

When I drive through the Subway drive thru, to eat fresh, I smell like I just put in a 10 hour shift as a sandwich artist.

If someone has lit a campfire within a 10 mile radius I smell like I sang kumbaya and roasted mallows around that fire. It usually takes 3 washes to get the stench out.

Someone orders fajitas at the other end of the table and not only do I smell like sizzling chicken or beef with onions, but I start speaking spanish. It's weird.

I walk through the farm animal exhibits at the fair and come home smelling like I just rolled around in manure. (Roommate requested I shower as soon as I walked in the house)

This can be a problem. I do not always want to smell like the food I may or may not have eaten and I do not want to smell like all my extracurricular activities.

Fix it.

This whole post is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny, but I have to admit, I actually laughed for several beats over the "to eat fresh" comment. SO FUNNY! How have I not seen this post before today? Did you REALLY post it on Thursday? Really? You're lying...

PS - I smell like Eau de turpentine. Blog coming on Monday :)

i cannot fix this, because i am sure i suffer the same thing, though maybe not quite to the same extent as you, since i have yet to start speaking spanish from the smell of mexican food.

i go with sara. shave your head. or maybe just work at the perfume counter at nordstrom to counter the bad smells.
