LiveJournal: the magic lives on

[stillsostrange]

I just started a long rambly post about the perils of party separation and travel times, and after I'd typed two paragraphs I realized how I can avoid it. So carry on.

But while I'm here, has anyone smelled a camel recently? I'd imagine they're pungent and wooly, but specifics would be appreciated. The Austin zoo doesn't appear to have any, or I could go be a crazy person and ask to smell their animals.

They smell like...well, as mingled with the elephant-smell and general zoo-smells of my memory, they smell like mulch. Like that particular mix of fertilizer and crap that my mom would buy by the truckload every spring to make sure her flowers bloomed.

In short, camels smell like musky poop, and like springtime. Two smells that...really shouldn't go together.
