believe me, I know this is completely absurd

[rm]

Since sometime yesterday afternoon, I've been periodically smelling a very specific scent, that lof an oil used in love spells for candle magick. It's a very specific scent and if you were ever fourteen and a big honking idiot like me you probably know it.

This could be any number of things -- a sudden inexplicable shift in my body chemistry with some BPAL I wear all the time, some weird celiac neuro hallucination thing, or another mystery smell floating through New York that will eventually make homeland security news.

Regardless, it's annoying and creepy and weird. And sort of funny, as in funny odd, no funny haha.

Maybe someone's casting a love spell on you!

[phaenix-ash.livejournal.com]

my thought exactly!

[rm.livejournal.com]

The question is whether that would count as direct communication or not.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Does it break the spell if direct communication is involved?

[rm.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I think I was just harking back to my whole "at least heterosexual men know how they are expected to communicate" rant.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ah! I'd have to say no. Love spells, even if they come with mysterious scents, have got to be a pretty subtle way of declaring your intentions.

Which at least narrows down your options of who it could be a little.

[rm.livejournal.com]

All of this presumes that this is a relaity-based conversation!

*charming hysteria*

I should be writing, oh yes I should

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. But why only say things that you know are actually true? It's much more entertaining the other way.

Right, right. I'll start that right after I eat.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Spooky, more fun than crazy! I feel like Muldar in the X-files.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ha! You know, I bet there actually was an episode about love spells. Or if not, there should have been.

[rm.livejournal.com]

If not, I'm sure someone wrote it on the Internet.

I went through this really bad Skinner/Muldar BDSM fanfic thing for a while

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

As did everyone else. Well. Either Skinner or Krycek.

[rm.livejournal.com]

amputee sex!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee! Is that better or worse than the Evil Hand sex you get in Angel fandom?

[rm.livejournal.com]

oh man, I don;t know anything about that. I am so procrastinating that I am this close to googling for the epic where Muldar is Skinner's sex slave -- and bad at it

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha.

Good timing then! I was uploading that CD I mentioned last night for you, and it just finished. Rouge's Gallery My favorite song is 'Rolling Sea', but I think a lot of it is stuff you'd like.

[rm.livejournal.com]

AWESOME. You know what sucks? I won't be able to listen to it until tomorrow. No sound at home!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. That does suck! I can't be on the computer without background music.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Well I can have music playing, just not form the computer.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Still, still. I'd be annoyed if I had to burn CDs (or whatever you do) of everything I wanted to listen to.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I susually burn CDs at work and bring them home. Silly, yeah? I often use film for background noise though, so I'll have Marie Antoinette or whatever on the portable as background noise/music.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Well, if it works...

Ah, yeah. I'll turn on the TV sometimes and let random shows play in the background, though I usually don't bother to use movies because I know I won't pay attention to them.

[rm.livejournal.com]

We have all the DVDs EVER.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee. I have more than I need, but not that many.

[rm.livejournal.com]

HOw many does one need, technically?
