Do people that get donations even want donated socks? Who the hell wants these things, except pet rats I've owned? Am I committing some form of donation faux pas by heaving in a huge bag of used socks? Will I live under some cloud of guilt when I think of the people that have to sort through these bags, finding my blob of socks and projecting astral hate towards my soul? Will I know when that happens?

Long after I successfully donated a load of my old clothes, I realized I had a horrible hodgepodge of socks left behind. These things have existed for so long that any semblance of having recognizable pairs is not even remotely a feature. How the hell do I organize this?

I first decided that picking through each sock to find pairs would be ideal, but it soon became clear that keeping any of these would lower of personal value too much to be worth it. Thrifty thoughts be damned, I started hucking anything that looked "scrappy" into a heap, leaving behind the fresher pairs. This was a bit more difficult than you would think, since this sockblob is essentially a rubber band ball of socks. New socks, old socks, older socks, socks I'm sure are someone elses, and socks I don't think are exactly gender neutral (How the hell did a frilly sock get in here? Did my mass of "male" socks kidnap her?)

I suppose this can lead into the fact my cologne order came in. My ongoing war against the smell of ass, you see:

1x Eau Sauvage FraƮcheur Cuir (2.5ml)
1x Homme de Gres (2.5ml)
1x ST Dupont Noir (2.5ml)
1x ST Dupont Passenger (2.5ml)
1x Very Valentino pour Homme (2.5ml)
1x Gucci Envy (2.5ml)

The STs I already tried. Clean.

I purchased a big mixture of scents as a sampler of sorts from a private collection, giving me an idea of what I like and what doesn't smell horrible on me. The STs stood out on top. Though, wanting to expand horizons, I picked a few more to try. Just from an open lid they all smell fantastic, but I've noticed some scents change after they leave the bottle. Either due to their own nature or how they react with my skin, I'd assume.

Today is also the day my almost three days of migraine went away completely. It was like having a heart in my brain, creating a massive amount of pressure with its sheer mass and only causing me debilitating pain when it decides to beat.
