I was unpacking a box of perfume and in the bottom I found an old bottle of scent oil. The scent is "Ocean" and I haven't opened the bottle in years. In fact there really isn't any oil left in it, but enough that the smell was still strong. Oh my God... I literally just closed my eyes and it brought back so much. For the men I have had feelings for in the past I have certain items that I end up associating with them. The items are usually cologne and/or scent, incense, and music. Ocean was a Derek scent. So, it reminded me a lot of the years I spent adoring him completely. I thought it was pretty ironic I found it now, having just talked to Derek last week. Anyway, more than just making me think about Derek, that smell brought back this whole period in my life. Working at the movie theatre, going to raves (or spending all night just trying to find the map point!) then spending the rest of the night/morning at Dennys. lol Go home, sleep for a few hours, get up and get dressed for work again. Repeat. lol. Moby, Opus III (which I'm listening to right now, "It's a Fine Day"... To go with my trip down memory lane.), Nebula Nine, Tony, Becky, Paul, Wade, Sonny, Rachel, Scott... lol it even reminded me of fucking Cecil! Gag! (He was an asshole that worked at the theatre with me at the time... Better forgotten frankly.) Trips to Isis, Depeche Mode, NIN, haunted houses, fucking mall security guards! I could go on and on.
Wow. All of that in a leftover drop of oil. : )

and...really, do we need to bring up Cecil-Munch? i think not.
yeah, china rain/musk. mmmm... that's a good smell too. yummy. Derek is ocean because of the candles that were burning the night of "Are you wearing any underwear?"
