The Wee Democracy

trigger happy

today i smelled something that reminded me of my ex-step-mom's smell when she took me and my sister and my ex-step-sister to a horrid day care place back....waaaaay back in the day. it was an ok smell. but the place sucked, believe it.

i also heard macy gray singing whatever song that is where she's saying "try to say goodbye and i choke", and i swear to god i smelled coffee grounds. the reason being that i heard that song almost every morning on the radio in the bakery/coffee shop where i worked freshman year. that and that train song with rebecca gayheart.

the elevator smells like an elevator at a hotel at a beach, which is to say, old and musty and salty. i liked it.

last week i smelled the ruins of a building they're rennovating downtown and it brought me right back to jester east when i first got there for orientation. when i got past the initial shock and idea of moving away, it was pretty sweet to imagine how i'd set up my own room. which, by the way, was much better than the one they stowed me in for O.




feeling: i don't know what i'm feeling today. nostalgic? sad? what?
thinking of: tessa jane
song of the day: if winter ends - bright eyes
i fell for the promise of a life with a purpose, but i know that that's impossible now
