I'm crazy - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

**Eleanor Rigby** · 30th Sep 2009, 04:03 AM

This time it's official : I'm completly crazy.

This morning, I open a pot of moisturiser and my first thought was : "I have forget it smells like EC." Yep, crazy I have warned you.
So, I too have been a bit surprised with my own though because, the rational part of me knows EC doesn't have a smell.
I haven't used that moisturiser during the summer, but I had started to use it every day at the beggining of last year. My morning ritual is, shower, moisturiser, checking on EC. So I guess my mind associate the smell of my moisturizer with checking on EC, which leaded me to that strange thought this morning.
If proof was needed EC had become an important part of my life, here it is

Ahaha, that's seriously adorable <3

Hah, not crazy at all. Smells are often associated with memories. Don't worry, everyone pretty much has the old morning ritual. I do the same, wake up, coffee, refresh pages on about 5 of my favourite websites (including here now) then continue to do so for most of the day.

Haha EC smells like socks for me

On the days I come directly home after school it's bag down, pants off, shoes off, smell socks and decide to take them off; refresh on facebook and EC!

Lol, from a stereotypical standpoint, EC might actually smell like moisturizer. It isn't uncommon for gay guys to use it (as stereotypical as that sounds). I guess there are worse smells to associate with us!

Hoppip · 30th Sep 2009, 03:53 PM

Classical conditioning! Yay psychology! The continual combined stimulus of the moisturizer and EC has made smelling the moisturizer trigger a response to EC!

Yay psychologyyy! :'D

hahaha thats pretty funny, sometimes i get moments like that, like i would say a sentence and all the owrds are in the wrong places that it doesnt even make sense, so i go "hold on, let me try and say that again" or i would just use wrong words at the wrong time...a refrigerator cannot be replaced as a trash cuz it makes no sense. Also my teacher of psychology was talking about how when he was little he liked to play gameboy but he also loved playing playstation and all a sudden his thoughts messed his words and he ended up saying that he really liked playboy which is a combination of the 2

Haha, that's not crazy. I think it's sort of cute that your mind has associated your moisturizer with EC. My EC smells like coconuts, because I check it on my bedroom floor after my mom sprays down with her perfume in my doorway while getting ready for work.

You must have some soft skin too.

xballetxbeautyx · 30th Sep 2009, 08:16 PM

I do that too, with a lot of things. Burt's Bee's chapstick tastes like the inauguration because I used it a lot when I was there. Aquanet hairspray smells like Theatre in the Park. And I associate songs with time periods or memories.

But, I have to say, EC having a smell is pretty awesome. That's not crazy!

EVERYONE should use moisturizer, gay or straight. Its an important daily routine that if more people did it would make the world a better place.

MOISTURIZE FTW!

*Cough*
