Have I ever talked about how much I want to travel? I want to see the world, to smell new smells that my brain hasn't even conceived of. Not necessarily bad smells. Good smells, like rain, or curry. You know what I mean.
I think I've heard somewhere that smell is the closest link to memory. What if you have a moment that you want to remember forever, but instead of a photo album, you had a...SCENT ALBUM! Wouldn't that be so cool? You could take the smelly (not necessarily in a bad way, I must reiterate) things that are around you during, say, your wedding, or the birth of your child (on second thought, maybe not the child one,) and somehow store them, writing down the date of the occasion. Or maybe you record the smells on the day you meet the most important people in your life, but of course, you would have no idea if he or she was going to end up being important or not. So what you could do is catalogue the smells surrounding your meetings with everyone you meet, and discard the ones that don't end up mattering in the long run!
I have the strangest ideas. I may need to be stopped.
