i remember i smelled that

i've always thought the sense of smell is important. dogs agree. if you lay out a dog's nasal membrane, it would have more surface area than the rest of his body. guess thats why dogs rely so much on the sense of smell. smell is interesting. i've always thought sounds, music in particular, could bring back certain memories. today i've decided that smell does the same thing. i am at my parents, but i didnt bring anything with me really, as i dont plan to stay long. i took a shower with some body wash that was here that i left from years ago. i havent used this brand in a long time, but the smell of it instantly takes me back to when it was left here, and i vividly remember that summer that i used this brand. i dont need to go into details about this, because that isnt the point, and its not a memory i'd prefer to openly discuss. however, i was thinking about other times when smells have been important. its like when your girl stays the night, when you get back in bed after you've walked her out in the morning (or afternoon) and your bed still smells all good like her. or when you dont wash a towel for a couple weeks because she used it to dry off with after a shower, and now she is gone for a long time, but it still smells like her, so from time to time you smell it when you are missing that person. yea, i know, lame and cheesy. its 2 am. i can't sleep. all i do is lay around and think. idle hands are the devils playground.
