Kissing doesn't surprise me (though in Ancient China it was considered gross and kind of cannibalistic). You can have a lot of your cultural assumptions reset once you've read the personals in San Francisco. Somebody somewhere likes licking, nibbling or kissing some part of somebody else. Orality goes askew on a daily basis and some of it just stuck around as What The Cool Kids Do.
I'm unsurprised that Buffistas are so in touch with their inner Spock that they're all "Highly Illogical" about human behavior, but c'mon! Humans act on their emotions primarily and rationalize it afterwards. (I was just reading a Wall Street Journal article about this effect when the book
Cognitive Dissonance
was published in the fifities and how it was a huge influence on advertising and pyschology.)

Unfrozen Caveman Fangirl is frightened and confused by this.
I need to watch SPN on dvd for exactly this reason.
So I have a question. Is lavendar a grandma scent? Not sweet smelling lavendar, the tart one.
I've always heard it (and violet, which I would agree) as grandma scent. My grandmas smelled of Jean Nate, some outlawed soap (seriously, found it in Gramma's house and discovered it was a a toxic chemical and that was freaky!) or Chanel But I really like it. It's spicy.
This brought to you by me warming my feet in a bucket of water dosed with Dr. Bronner's lavendar soap. I HATE WINTER.
Oh, and wasn't today the day msbelle and mac met? Been with me all day. Holy crap!
Jared Padalecki is a friend of a friend. I wonder if he knows the "Paddywhack" thing.
Mr Jane and I actually got into that kissing conversation not too long ago. We tried to figure it out, but then it turned to porn.

Boy howdy, yes.
I mean, you saw the screencap Suela linked to in Boxed Set, right?
My Amazon order came today. All the Dark Angel novels.
I think Paul would have been less appalled had I ordered cheap porn.

I don't think of it that way. And with lavender's prevalence in aromatherapy, it just screams RELAX at me. Seriously, why's it got to yell? It's not relaxy...
See, it isn't relax to me. Too spicy. But soothing in that it is a scent I relly like that doesn't end up annoying the shit out of me. Unlike my salon's Aveda. Apparently I got some product on my brush saturday ( I had to wash my hair sat night in the sink.) Got a whiff of it today and was overwhelmed. Nice smell, just too much, too overpowering.
Aveda stuff tends to be really sage-y. And strongly so. Conveniently I like it but I can imagine it is horrible if you won't. It's a little bit of the desert in the rain smell, which is maybe wet creosote in my mind.
I like the spiciness of lavender as well. I am glad it is relatively popular because it lacks the annoying for me as well. Most florals or sweet fruity smells just ping me wrong.
eta: eh, but fennel is apparently icking me and it's prevalent in my dinner.
