Where there's smoke
There has got to be a reason why I love the smell of fire so much. Not like nauseous chemical fires or nasty oily rags burning... I mean the fiery smell of a wood fire or a charcoal grill. My whole house smells like a charcoal grill cooking awesome food right now, and I am just realizing that candles should never be scented as most fire smells really good in and of itself. Glade should start manufacturing a Fire Scented Plug-In... you know, "Freshens 60 days, plug it in plug it in". For those special times when you want the delicious and mouth-watering odor of fire but lighting a real bonfire on the dining room floor is completely out of the question.
Back to that reason for liking the smell... perhaps in the days of the cavemen, those members of humanity who liked the smell of fire gravitated towards its warmth and survived, whereas those who hated it stayed out in the freezing cold and died. Natural selection, and lo and behold we are a humanity that loves the smell of a good fire. Or at least just me.
On a side note, squirelord (and another amigo mio who doesn't have an LJ) will tell you that if you spend more than 15 minutes in the mall, or even so much as look at something that you didn't plan on buying before you went, then you must be a shopping-fixated woman. On another side note, it is really fun when people are following you around the mall to walk in the wrong direction on purpose and see if they will keep following you. Even more fun is to start walking around an object in circles and see if they keep following you. I guarantee you, if your followers are sufficiently distracted then they will do both of these things, and you will laugh much.
