04/23/2003 Entry: "The Houseguest Who Wouldn't Leave."

While our weekend houseguest was very nice, he seems to have left a little something behind. He used one of my black towels while he stayed here. And he wears patchouli oil. While I know some people have a strong reaction to the smell, I'm don't entirely mind it. It reminds me of a sweet guy I went out with for a week when I first moved to the city. But I thought it would come out in the wash.

It did—onto everything else I washed with it.

The t-shirt I'm wearing today has enough patchouli on it for two, or so it seems. I suppose it's also a lot closer to my nose than our houseguest was. But everytime I look down, I get a whiff of old Haight Street. I'm really unused to wearing fragrances of any kind, so I'm even more self-conscious about it. And this office is really not the appropriate place for my Kundalini to rise. Anyone have any suggestions what to do with these clothes, besides burning them?

patchouli, ugh. Recommendation--use the clothes as cum-rags, then, when they are inundated with the smell of week-old jizz, you wont notice the patchouli anymore. Credit to Mr. [Martha] Stewart for that one, we all know he wanks a lot.
