Nooooo!!!!!! *cries* I transported my perfume collection from one house to another and this one didn't make it! I opened my bag to find everything covered in oil and smelling faintly of cops and flowers. I went through everything fearful of what I had lost... and it was this one I haven't even had a chance to really test it yet beyond smelling it. *cries* Must be more careful with how I transport my LPs in the future... So my experience this evening has been a bizarre one. I had to wash off every bottle (and so now a bunch of my labels look soaked and horrible ) and clean out the bag, and in the process I inhaled a serious overdose of fumes. I became really lightheaded and felt stoned. I haven't ever tried recreational drugs so I don't know what it should feel like, but I imagined this was how it would feel. I felt really dizzy and whenever I moved my head the world spun. I was swaying as I walked, like I was drunk. Yet I felt really alert - over alert - overstimulated. I could feel my eyes were opened wider than normal and I was moving faster than normal, like my mind was working faster than my body. I felt pretty nauseous and desperately wanted to regain control of my body and feel better, the feeling was horrible and a bit scary. It is 4 degrees here, but I went outside wearing just PJs and spent a good ten minutes breathing in the fresh air before I began to feel better, and only then noticed how freaking cold I was! Some serious emotional side-effects here too. I posted on The Bitching Post, and suddenly ended up teary. Normally I don't just kind of cry just like that, I will be depressed about something for a while before I reach the point of tears on it. This was just instant, like, oh that sucks, BAM there are the tears (excuse the pun). No walls, no mental barriers to break through to reach the emotional vulnerability, I was just suddenly bawling. And it was gone just as quick, although that may be because my flatmate (new flatmate, and a good one this time I hope!) got home just then. I wiped up the tears before she got in the door and within those thirty seconds before she reached me I was completely cleaned up and looking normal. We've just spent the last few hours chatting, and I hope she didn't notice but I've been shaky the whole way through and talking faster than normal. I didn't want her to leave, I was desperate to talk to someone. She tried to go to bed a few times and I kept making more conversation, which she was ok about, and pretty chatty back, although she did eventually have to go as it is getting close to 1AM and we both have work early. Now that I think about it, before she got here I was talking and talking to the cat, almost like I just wanted to hear my voice and put my thoughts and feelings and any random thing going through my head to the world. Still shaking and wide-eyed and not sure I can go to sleep yet. The shaking almost feels like an emotional kind, not just like too much caffeine shaking, but like I'm overexcited. Feeling the world is an overwhelming place and everything is either too exciting or too scary. Sorry if this post is all over the place, I guess I am still under the effect of the overdose!

Great! You are getting me excited about ordering a cops boosted bottle!

I was Prestidigitator for about 6 posts there and then it changed. Weird!

Really, is there supposed to be tobacco in this? I don't get that at all, just toasted brown sugar

Ok, so what you're saying is... it's back to more stalking for me

This sounds lovely! When can I order it? I want to get it boosted with as strong a load of EoW as it can take!

Waiting for new releases! Or anything else that can be stalked... personally I am stalking the return of DHEAS...

Oh, it's not just the UK... they are the same here in Australia... mostly I find I am the one doing the asking out, and I am pretty sure I'm not hideous or anything.

Congrats! And nice new avi, damn you're hot!!

PiP was my very first LP love

I got a little sniffee of Rosie's Wedding Cake too Lovely isn't it?

Semi-rural at the moment, but I've spent most of my life in the city/cities. I've never even left Australia, but I hope to one day!

So... anyone around here from Australia? ... Anyone?? *tears of loneliness*

That is a really helpful way of thinking about it, and so true. Also the reactions you get may not look like what the person is feeling. For example, I sometimes get an aggressive or aloof reaction out of men to cops, and I put it down to them getting turned on but since it's not appropriate to do anything about it they actually behave a bit nasty to try to "cover" what they're feeling. Doesn't mean it's not working.

Well I know which thread I'll be stalking

Oh, I see you've listed it here, ignore my post on the other thread! I also got sample's of Heart's Ease, Portmanteau and Goddess of the Blue Moon, and love them all Good choices. I got True Confessions in spray as well but so far haven't used it much. I'd like to know how the BAM spray works out too.

Ooh what did you order??

I haven't tried Heart 2 Heart but I love Heart & Soul and have H2H down for my next order. I'd like to know the difference too.

Funny, BI and Leather (well, it was actually Dominance) were the first two I ordered, that totally haven't worked out for me - at least not yet. And I thought they would be me through and through!!

It's worth remembering that no matter what you try, some blends simply will not work for you. There could be any reason for that, or there might be no reason at all. If you are getting frustrated with something not working out as you think it should even when you think you are doing everything right, try a different blend. LFM just may not be your thing. In the end I've found the ones that work best for me are ones I would never have thought were "me" to begin with. My first two choices from here were complete flops, but the others have been mostly brilliant.

Well you've sold me on this one Teacozy! I will definitely have to try this at work when it arrives, sounds like it is great for work situations!

Maybe we have a different meaning to the word "date" here - here, a date implies sexual and romantic interest and behaviour. If you were dating someone else while married then you are either cheating or in an open relationship. But hell, if a "date" was just going to a platonic dinner with a colleague, then I date all the time!

.... What happened with Get Stuffed?

My sense of smell is constantly disappearing as I have a severely deviated septum and bad allergies, so as soon as the allergies flare up I can't smell much at all. But I still feel like pheros affect me, Heart's Ease for example. I kind of "smell" by breathing in through my mouth, smells can supposedly still reach the scent receptors in the back of your nose that way. It is dulled, but definitely still there.

I like SWS (Swimming With Sharks) for work situations personally. But she will probably need to try a few different blends and see what works best for her.
