"That Smell" - Lynyrd Skynard

It may sound funny, but sometimes different smells remind me of situations from times long sense past. This will be a fairly short section, but you’re reading it, so I don’t care. Sometimes the smell will just remind me of a previous time, times when things were different.

One day I went up into my room, and there was a mild mix of the muskiness coming from My stepdad and I’s rooms, and the smell of outside: flowers, fresh air, cut grass, etc. This reminded me of when the computer used to be in my stepdad’s room, and how I’d spend all my time at night talking to Ashley from the young age of 13 until age 17 (when the computer became mine.)

Another random sense I get is the smell of Speed Racer. That sounds incredibly bizarre, but about a year or two ago, I was really into the show “Speed Racer.” I watched the cartoons, went to see the movie, and bought the toys, everything. And I’m not sure how or why, but now on some days, I’ll go upstairs, or sit down to relax on the couch, and a smell enters my nose that reminds me of all the times I had collecting the toys and watching the shows. It’s funny, and silly, but all completely true.

Some smells also upset me. Stephanie had a very different smell from any girl I’d ever been with, and as it turns out, you can buy this smell from the stores. So now, whenever a girl crosses my path with her perfume/body spray on, at first I’m happy (always thinking of that one night we had together,) but then I’m angered to all end, because of the hate-filled ending she and I created.

Side Note: The Smell of Eggs and Teen Spirit make me sick.
