Oh Fuck, I Now Have BO Like My Old Man's

It's official-- undeodorized I now smell exactly the way I remember my dad smelling when it was his turn to host the weekly guys' poker game and he'd been sitting at the table for too long (I used to spectate as a tot, until it was my bedtime). I find it to be disgusting and intolerable-- yes, I'm now repulsed by my own scent. How long would I have to live with it before I automagically stopped noticing, anyway? (Not that I'm going to try-- I've had too many experiences as an unwilling smeller of other "manly" types to do this in good conscience.) Is this the next sign of adulthood after knuckle hair and getting your wisdom teeth in? Fuck, this is annoying-- time to shower!

Smelly people can smell themselves? How do people with bad breath know they have bad breath?

I thought no smell = your perceptual system not bothering to tell you about something that's remained constant for a long period of time? Like the way you're not sensitive to the way your apartment/home habitually stinks vs. the strange smells (cooking smells, cleaning supplies, etc.) you detect when you visit the homes of others? That might explain why no one ever seems to comment on how amazingly bad Las Vegas casinos smell, actually.

god, I noticed the thing about having the exact same BO as my dad a few months ago, too. Oddly comforting.

use some fucking deoderant and you will not have this problem

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 28 October 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha-- that's cool, emily. Yeah, it does make you feel like part of the same family at least (not that I think I'm going to mention this to his face, mind).

kyle, sometimes the fucking "deoderant" wears off. But thanks for the advice.
