No, seriously, I am an olfactory freak. I can smell people. I'm not talking about body order (although I can certainly smell that, too, much to my dismay), or cologne or deodorant. And the really freaky thing is, I can smell them from about 20 paces, farther if the wind is right.
I read somewhere that in the grand scheme of odoriferous-ness, humans are a smelly species, and that's part of the reason that other animals tend to avoid us.
I'll buy that theory. I would much prefer to smell horses, or even dogs.
I'm guessing that this new "skill" is the result of the repeated purging of epithelial cells. The fresh ones in my nose are just extra clean and sensitive right now. I'm kinda hoping it's something that will fade over time.
If not, I could probably pursue a career in manhunts...
LMAO!!!
ReplyDeletei smell people. how triply it must be.

Okay...not coming down to visit til that little talent fades away (hey that was kind of punny...get it? fades away...I know it loses something when I have to explain it. *sigh*)
ReplyDeleteDo you stop and smell the roses? Rx
ReplyDeleteNo, flowers aren't especially prominent. although there are a TON of gorgeous roses blooming all over the island right now.
ReplyDeleteFresh tomatoes, on the other hand, I can smell from the other room, and they smell fantastic to me.
So weird!
Well then, take time to smell the tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteI also smell people, but only really notice the scents of friends or people I know pretty well -- but I can enter a room and know if they're in it, so that twenty paces thing also applies to me.
