Smells

Most of you know this, but I thought I'd share it again. When I was much younger (during high school), I worked at a movie theater for a year. I spent most of my time as a box office cashier, but I started off working at the concession and ushering.

It was a great high school job. I was working with my friends, I watched a ton (I think I watched everything that year) of movies, and it was an easy job. I still go to that theater to watch movies from this day. I love watching movies, and it's a;ways a treat for me.

As much as I didn't mind working there, I did leave traumatized by one thing... the smell of popcorn. I remember how terrible it smelled on a warm summer day or what it smelled like mixed with the smell of trash as I was cleaning theaters. I wasn't fond of popcorn even before I worked there, but it became so disgusting to me that I cringe whenever I smell it today. I actually get headaches when someone is eating popcorn next to me. I hate the smell that much. Don't even get me started on the taste... IT'S TASTELESS AND IT STICKS TO YOUR TEETH! Who would enjoy such things?!

As passionately as I hate the smell of popcorn, there is a smell I absolutely adore. I love the smell of fresh clean laundry. I love pulling my clothes out of the dryer while it's still warm and taking a big sniff. It's pure heaven.

To be specific, I love Tide the detergent. It is simply my favorite smell in the world, and I wish I could bottle it up as a perfume and lather it all over myself. I get excited to wash my sheets because there is no better feeling that sleeping on crisp clean sheets. Is it weird that I am obsessed with clean crisp sheets? Maybe crisp isn't the right word, but I love it when it's straight and taunt against be mattress. I hate when the sheets begin to pull away from the mattress, and it's a big sloppy mess. It's one of my simple joys in life... a clean bed.

Actually now that I think about it. I love the smell of clean things. I love the smell of dish soap, the lemony scent of soap I use to mop the floors, and body wash. Oh boy, why don't I just say that I like soap of all kinds?

I realize this is a random post, but I had to express how I am enjoying laying on my clean sheets. :)
