A Present For Me

22 November, 2006

On the day I passed my driving test I decided I had deserved a present.
But what should it be?
Books, for example, are not presents, they are a necessity to be bought on a regular basis.
Clothes I don’t need since I simply put on my favourite jeans, T-shirt and slippers before moving from bedroom to the home office next door every morning.

A perfume? Not a bad idea, though I’m more than satisfied with my two samples of Teutonic art of perfumery.

Then I remembered I had seen a site selling Skin Whitening Products That Improve Dark Skin Complexion. And suddenly I grew unnaturally curious about the kind of perfume people who buy such products are supposed to like. So I ordered a flask of the only kind they have. On the 12th of October. It arrived yesterday, but at least it did arrive.

Now, I don’t think much of trying to be whiter than the truth, but I do like the perfume. It reminds me of another one I used to know, though not by name, and it is quite strong, a bit exotic, but not too much.

Still, I do need to be careful not to overdo my internet adventures as they tend to have an impact on my not-so-virtual bank account…

  1. post “a smell” :-) you can also describe it! :-)

    Herausforderung? Naaaaaaa :-)


  2. Describe the smell? Now you got me! I’m not able to do that. I didn’t write “Perfume”, remember?

    I take care not to pay too much money for things I suddenly and inexplicably think are challenges. I know my whims of fancy…

    Do you have any such moments?


  3. i have my “weak” moments and I understand you :-)

    it was just a teaz :-)


  4. Well yes, but you see, I was primarily curious about your weak moments :-) Like, notions that make you do the unusual or stuff.

    (I am a perfect teasee and I enjoy shooting back…)


  5. Enough with the teasing!
    Does the perfume do one of its 2 main functions?
    1) Does it attract?
    2) does it repel?
    An if it’s the former, does it attract 2 legged or 4 legged animals.
    Enough questions.
    How ’bout some answers?


  6. Uff, Darko, that’s some sharpish thinking with a strong parent-like touch! I’m afraid I’m too scared to answer…


  7. I guess, it either smells like moose or like coffee (insider-joke, like the photo itself) ;-)
    …but it sure makes coffee a pleasure…


  8. šššt!
