The wretchedness that is patchouli oil June 19, 2008

I would just like to take a moment to discuss how much patchouli oil makes me want to vomit.
The scent of the oil itself isn’t so bad, but when it’s mixed in with days of stank body odor and sweat, I begin to feel my stomach turn upside down. Linnea’s Cafe (a quirky downtown San Luis Obispo coffee shop with lots of character) has always been a great place for me to do my writing. But as I sit here now, I am overcome with the scent of patchouli and B.O. What makes this time so especially awful is the fact that it’s a hot day. GAG ME!
What’s up with not taking a quick shower anyway? Okay, so you want to conserve water – then at least jump in the ocean!!
Here on that, girlfriend. You can’t cover it up. Besides, body odor isn’t even that bad if it’s fresh; let me explain that. Having travelled all over where people don’t even use deodarant, even strong body odor in a car with a cabby didn’t bother me, because at least they had bathed that day. Hmm, some people around here should think about that.
You need to get around a man with a musky scent.
Do you have a musky scent, Lamont? Hey Lynette, so what scents do you like?
I’m a total lavendar girl. Or sandalwood.
NettyD sometimes I have on my sandals when I get wood. That would be sandalwood,right?
