Scents and sensibility

Ok, I promise I'll go to bed after this post!

I just wanted to say a couple things.

First off, my anxieties of earlier have been resolved, and the world is once again a good place.

Second, I was in Harvard Square buying a wedding gift, when I decided to look in Colonial Drug and smell what there was to smell. I wasn't going to buy anything, but when I saw their selection of nice couture perfumes, I was interested. Now, they have OLD stuff. I am an old-fashioned girl with perfumes. I like it rich and musky and woody and sensually feminine. I browsed a bit, and found a perfume I adored: Habanita, by Molinard. I asked the saleswoman what it cost, and she was instantly impressed. "Oh, that's a wonderful scent. You have excellent taste!" We chatted for a bit about base notes and middle notes, florals and orientals, musk, cedarwood, and other stuff. She showed me a few more scents, many of which I quite liked, especially ones with fig notes. Mmm. But the Habanita was what I was looking for. It's a heady Oriental scent, with fruity top notes that are warmer than what you get today, and richer. It has classic floral middle notes like tuberose and jasmine, moderated by earthy orris. The base notes are a wonderful blend of musk, amber, leather, and civet. It's got this wonderfully light and playful start, deepening to something rich and seductive. This is a perfume from 1924. It's a classic. I bought the lotion as an intro, to make sure I liked it before buying the perfume. I'm wearing it now. Mmmmmmmmm. I think I have a signature scent.

Hi there.

Out of the people I've known who have read my journal and aren't actually on my friends list or friend of list, I can eliminate a few. You're not Mike. Mike can't spell that well, and isn't that articulate. You aren't Jason C. or Rodney. They sign their comments, like polite people do. You aren't any of the guys I met recently, because those of them who comment on my LJ are also on LJ, and those who aren't don't read it. Geoff hasn't specifically said he doesn't, but he's also polite enough that I think he'd tell me who he was if he commented.

All I can think is that 1) you are Jason S. Highest possiblilty. You are articulate and at least sensitive to my feelings. 2) You are someone who I know who doesn't like me, and is just being weird and stalker-y. Not so high a possibility. If you were, you'd probably be saying things to upset me, unless your manipulativeness has gotten so twisted you've confused yourself. 3) You're someone I DON'T know. But if I don't know you, and you found my LJ, you are almost certainly ON LJ. And if that were the case, you'd probably have the sense to post while logged in as yourself, so I could know who you are. Unless you know someone else I know on LJ, and found me through them. If that's the case, you're also being weird and stalker-y.

I can only guess that #1 is correct.

If that is the case, and it IS Jason S. who has been commenting, please have the nerve to contact me directly. I won't bite. I won't get mad. But this is neither the way to make a clean break of things, nor the way to build and further a friendship.

Whoever you are, I'm just curious. I just want to know. Ok?

Edit: You can't be Jason. Ok. You're in fucking Miami. I don't know ANYONE in Miami, so who the hell are you, and how did you find my journal? Sheesh.
