Confessions of a 20-something mother

It's an achievement. How many Americans do you think could name 98% of the Canadian provinces?

Confession: I have no idea how many provinces there are. I really do feel quite bad about that.

*wanders over to Wikipedia*

I always used to leave out Delaware when naming the states. Now I remember it, but tend to forget New Mexico.

I had to test myself on how many provinces I know. I got 6 out of 10, and two of the territories. Considering I didn't even know how many there were, I feel pretty good, but also rather pathetic.

I think I could name maybe 3 Mexican states.

It took me longer than it should have to list all 50 states.

Stupid Wyoming. How could we forget you?
Easy, because it doesn't really exist.

*grumbles* I was born there...

Confession: I think I bring out the worst in people who know me.

Confession: I also very strongly think I just might be a pathetic-puppy-person.

Confession: I have felt ugly off and on for so long that it embarrassed the crap out of me to see it that size, knowing other people did, too.

Confession: I never noticed my extremely German nose until my junior year in high school, when I was camping with my Grandpa outside Dry Wolf Creek, Montana. We were sitting at the table, eating, and he turned and stuck his schnoz at me and said "Jeffrey, by the way, I'm sorry about the nose."

Ever since.

I nearly cry at the end of Girl in the Fireplace every time I watch it.

What is a German nose? I never heard of such nose classification.

Funny and gross, but accurate example:

Confession - I cannot compare faces. Noses look like noses. Eyes look like eyes.

I even have problems remembering faces because of this.

My boys are getting a pet parakeet for Easter and he's living at my sister's house until next Sunday (so he can be a surprise).
We named him this week: Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Parrot.

"There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, and my spirit is crying for leaving."

Unrelated: if that thing is on that day (what thing? That thing that can singlehandedly sabotage my dearest wish. What day? Why, what a silly question. That day. The only day that matters now) I will kill someone. And sue God. If that happens, that would be past all those non-funny jokes of his. That would be downright cruel.

And so I'm thinking, well, maybe I'll take a preventive measure, do something that will either pacify that worry or set in motion an immediate change of plans. That is, post an anonymous post that may or may not be answered, the credibility of which may or may not be doubted, that I may or may not be suspected to have posted. How I love certainty.

I'm not sure why this is a confession but it somehow feels like one. I was smelling lots of deodorants in the store today and one reminded me SO strongly of an old boyfriend. Well, he was never technically a boyfriend but he did in a roundabout way propose once, so that's close enough, right? Anyway...I have mostly positive memories of him, so it wasn't a bad thing...just very unexpected.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 8:16 pm

I LOVE how most guys smell!

Seconded!

There's the fun of the natural man smell (either slightly sweaty or clean but not scented like soap, just kind of neutral), soap scent after a shower, or the scent they give off when walking by if they wear any sort of cologne/body spray.

neo-dragon · Postby **neo-dragon** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 8:24 pm

I've always wondered what I smell like to other people, 'cause, you know, you don't really notice your own scent.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 8:29 pm

Do you use any deodorant or cologne?

neo-dragon · Postby **neo-dragon** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 8:38 pm

I'm currently using Gillette deodorant. Cologne only on special occasions. Sometimes just a little bit of Axe body spray.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 8:49 pm

I don't know how Gillette smells, but most Axe is awesome!

Postby **locke** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 11:43 pm

I've always been partial to old spice deodorant, I like lavender shaving cream or after shave as it's a very mellow but clean and fresh scent (not floral).

I love the smell of girls' hair, her head under mine curled up against me and I can just inhale... mmmm the smell of girl=awesome.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 12:28 am

Mmmm... Old spice.

So YOU'RE the reason for that awful stench! Stop encouraging them!

Stay away from the body spray, guys. Until today I could happily say I knew not a single girl who likes it. If you simply cannot bring yourself to throw that can of putridness into the trash, please, PLEASE remember the rule for scents: if you can still smell it five minutes after you've put it on, it's too strong! Your nose should be able to tune it out, and if it can't, it's a guarantee that you're gagging the people around you.

Also, never spray it at the pool. Gagging from inhaling body spray is even worse when you're trying to swim.

Despite not existing, they must get extremely bothered by that cow.

That's why I only ever use a little bit. Some girls love the stuff, and others hate it, so I just ride the fence by using a small amount. I certainly can't smell it five minutes later. I don't know if others can.

Postby **Eaquae Legit** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 9:36 am

Small amounts may be acceptable. Possibly. I have no direct hate for the smell itself - that I know of - but because it's so liberally applied and overpowering, I can't actually judge the smell. If it was sold in little spritzers like women's perfume in stead of the big cans which are designed to create a cloud of smell, maybe I'd be less grossed out by it.

Yes, probably other people can smell it. It's a new smell to their noses and will stand out.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 9:47 am

I'm sorry! You're actually the only woman i've ever heard not like the smell.

Although, no matter how much I like it, it should never be so overpowering that people across the room can smell you. Just a simple little spray will do.

Postby **Jayelle** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 12:59 pm

Add me to the list of haters. I hate any and all perfumes. They make my eyes water.

The aforementioned deodorant was Gillette! I'm not sure what scent tho. In general I'm not a fan of cologne or body spray on guys. Then again, I don't think that guys (on their own) smell very good. I think it's because I grew up with two brothers and walking into their bedroom in the morning you would be hit by a wall of boy stank. *shudders*

starlooker · Postby **starlooker** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 1:54 pm

LOVE men's cologne (although, not in sickening amounts. Five minute rule is a good one.) My boyfriend wears Hypnose, makes me very happy.

neo-dragon · Postby **neo-dragon** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 5:30 pm

Women are so confusing. If you'd just all come to a consensus about what you do and don't like, we simple males would do a much better job of pleasing you.

Gravity Defier · Postby **Gravity Defier** » Wed Apr 08, 2009 5:38 pm

I think we can all agree that we like them alive...beyond that, I'm not sure we'd all agree on the specifics.

Was that helpful?
