From tomorrow I am going to smell completely differently.

I tend to get into repetitive cycles that go on for an extremely long time where I won’t consider any other possible option. I never buy anything but Persil washing liquid, Fairy Liquid, Heinz Beans, I could list another few dozen of these.

I have just ran out of Paco Rabanne Black XS Pour Homme aftershave. Almost out of both the roll on and spray on deodorants too. All at the same time.

So, I am off out to John Lewis, or Boots, or wherever, to find a new smell. I suppose I might even consider two new smells so I have a choice, but this would go against my entire personality. I have to stick my flag in one thing and stand by it.

This ties in with my low level OCD and obsessive organisation. I like to create false certainties in my life to distract myself from the fact I have no control over anything at all and am just tossed about on the waves of fate at random.

I am off out to go shopping now. Shopping for a new smell…

[Edit: 12.15pm - The new smell is... *drum roll* Jean Paul Gaultier "Le Male". So expensive that I might soon be homeless, but at least I'll smell nice lying in the gutter with a dog on a bit of string.]
