This world has such a stench to it... it's a wonder any of you can breathe.

In the interest of making this place more tolerable, where would one be able to acquire roses? I wish to start a garden.

Or are we incapable of having even that meager luxury?

Comments

LJ :(

And you will keep them as far from my person as possible.

SEEMS TO BE UNBROKEN NOW

Wow---look, I can take a hint, okay? You don't want me around, fine. But my feet smell like pine trees and there's nothing wrong with that.

Yay!

[redstringed]

Oh? You yourself are the one who admitted that you felt the need to use two fresheners to chemically mask the stench. I am merely speaking what many would meekly leave unsaid.

If you cannot even make a pretense at hygiene, why would anyone wish to be near you?

XD

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

I've heard it's because of my stellar personality, but there's no accounting for taste.

[redstringed]

No. There most certainly is not.

Had it never occurred to you to simply wash the garments?

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

Hey, lady--I launder. I launder. Did that ever occur to YOU?

[redstringed]

Oh? Then do you bathe? I can certainly think of no other reason why an individual would feel the need to rely on the artificial scent of a chemical plant in order to smell remotely presentable.

/sorry for late

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

YEAH I BATHE. I'm super clean. I have a healthy manly scent, okay?

It happens!

[redstringed]

A healthy manly scent? Why do you males believe that the stench of sweat and grime will in any way endear you to the opposite sex?

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

Did I not just mention the "yeah I bathe I'm super clean" part? They do have showers in Sunnydale. I've got witnesses. I clean up pretty good, too, if I do say so.

[redstringed]

So you claim. I cannot say I have seen any evidence of the matter, so my conclusion will remain as is.

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can look downright DAPPER when I want to, miss thing! [And he has his prom picture here to prove it!] And how did we get on this topic, anyway? Because I doubt I could be discussing anything weirder than this with a vampire.

[redstringed]

I believe it was you who steered this conversation in this direction by your devotion to chemically manufactured odor concealers. *Rachel-speak for "you started it."*

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

Excuse me for TRYING to be helpful. Know what? Let's just--we just shouldn't talk anymore, okay? This might be the most inadequate I've felt in a long time. And I can't believe I just admitted that to you.

[redstringed]

Oh? If I recall correctly (and I do) you had told me that you did not want to stagnate as a person.

Perhaps that has changed, then.

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

Well last I checked, personal growth did not equal personal remarks aimed at a man's sock drawer. You cut me, Rachel. You do.

[redstringed]

Is not changing a habit for the better a form of growth? Some people must start with the tiniest of adjustments to ever have the dimmest hope of success.

If I had cut you, you would know it.

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, I hope things start smelling better for you real soon, lady. You're nuts.

[redstringed]

If insisting on a high standard of living is "nuts" as you so colorfully put it, than I am quite happy to be insane.

[steadfastest.livejournal.com]

Great, then I'm happy you're happy. Everyone's happy. This? Happiness.
