Sudden acute olfaction

I am experiencing one this week, actually.

Unfortunately, one of its first discoveries = homeless man wiping ass with shorts after crapping behind next column

For nine months now I have been smelling diapers. This is partially reality (because of Ophelia), partially a look into the future but most of all the fact I am indeed pregnant. Otherwise, when I'm not pregnant, my smell is rather mediocre tbh. :-(

this happens every time I don't have a cold

and am relatively sober

this happens to me when i start getting a migraine. it sucks. EVERYTHING IN NEW YORK SMELLS TERRIBLE

and not holding a lit cigarette

BELL LABS OTM

Did you start picking your nose?

Also, I think everything smells smellier in autumn. Dry air = less humidity "watering" down smells, mayhaps? Or dampening them? No pun intended; the smell of "rain" is really just an amalgam of all of the smells around you because of the rain, I remember reading.

Every shampoo, every cologne, every polyurethane-type thing, every bit of halitosis or body odor... Last night I picked my cat to snuggle and she suddenly smelled like the best thing ever! It's been so odd.

Your cat smells good? That's fucked up.

This only happened to me when I was pregnant, and almost every smell nauseated me. It sounds like it's not that unpleasant for you, so you are super lucky!

PS - I'm with Will M. - your cat smells that good?! Weird!

I am a Werewolf

You are not a werewolf
I am a Werewolf
I am a Werewolf

That's fucked up.

I love her so her smell is always a comfort but it smelled like happiness yesterday.

It sounds like it's not that unpleasant for you, so you are super lucky!

When it's vile it's really vile but when it's nice, it's exqusite and smells seem to be jumping out from the background which is, frankly, just kind of weird.

i don't feel like going @ work but if it still exists, www.werejournal.com (it should be safe for work, it's jsut livejournals SPECIFICALLY for people who think they are were-something)

I should pay attention to the migraine - smell connection but I am usually too busy crawling into a black pit to notice. :-( Like now.

RIP werejournal :(

Were-anemone? Were-wombat? Were-flea?

Isn't the 'were' in werewolf and weregeld related to 'vir' (as in 'virile') in Latin?

sorry to hear that, stevienixed

does anyone else ever get smells "stuck" in their nose? like the way a song gets stuck in your head? happens to me with rubbing alcohol, weed, a few others I can't recall at the moment; after being around them for a little while, they keep returning, seemingly at random, for the next few days.

bleach is another one. and certain growth media.

Ah yes, the weed smell. Alas all too often. :-(

yeah the weed one is probably the worst cuz you're like "shit, that's not me, is it???"

At full moons I turn into a rich guy. I'm a werewithal

Bad odors, bleach, weed, alcohol, esp. if I'm feeling woozy...

Sheesh.

I smoke, so...no.

Cigarettes smell the same but certain things just smell 'loud'.

yah me too w/ balls and feet

i have very obtuse olfaction

Isn't the 'were' in werewolf and weregeld related to 'vir' (as in 'virile') in Latin?

'Wer' means man and 'vir' means man, though I'm not sure of the history of this etymology... I'm guessing as they're so similar they must be from the same root, and it would seem logical that 'vir' came first, but aside from that I don't know.

Yeah I get the bleach thing bad - I did heavy spring cleaing last weekend and now, 5 days later, I can still taste it in the back of my throat, when I have a cig especially for some reason. Urgh.

Strong bleach smells stick with me and ruin cigarettes for at least a half day.
