My hair smells awesome. I rubbed a couple drops of exotic verbina essential oil in my dreads to counter any lingering acid vapor smells.Sometimes the mundane becomes glorious, in both a tweet and life.
So says Sir Twitalot.
Hooray sedruce for taking what is usually a boring tweet - someone talking about their grooming and appearance - "My hair smells awesome." and bringing it to the next level.
Although dreadlock care is not on Sir Twitalot's grooming list, he does have a half brother with a bit of dreadlock stink.
But it isn't the hint of drops of verbina oil (though I believe verbina is spelled verbena) that rocks this tweet, it is the countering of "lingering acid vapor smells."
Who amongst us, having walked about the living dead, the vampiric chemists, those who would set oil wells on fire, or dissolve body parts in sulfuric acid, has not had to contend with acid vapor odors in our hair?
Who, Sir Twitalot asks, has not wanted to run and hide at a high school dance because the stench of acid vapors was stronger than our carnation or corsage, thus causing the self-loathing others to attack us so that they might hide their own insecurities?
That is why this is our fave random tweet of the day, for it's Martha Stewartian approach to the travails of our modern era, where so much of life has a lingering acid vapor smell...
Bravo Sedruce. Keep on tweeting and oiling the dreads

ReplyDeleteMmm. Flattering. I am an awful speller, thank you for the correction. :)
ReplyDeleteThe acid vapors were from something a bit more mundane than a Friday night out with those undead chemists (though I will say that those guys can seriously party!)...I work with nitric, hydrochloric, and other harsh acids to break down dirt samples so they can be analyzed for gold and other things.
