minor obsession is manifesting its way into my dreams...

I've always loved fun scented things. As a young girl, I probably kept the lip smackers empire thriving by my purchases alone. I remember every stocking stuffer, Easter basket, or cheap birthday present to me always included some lip gloss. Everyone knew I loved it. I preferred strawberry, liked watermelon and would settle for the strawberry-watermelon combination if I had to. Give me strawberry banana and you are not invited to my next birthday party. You obviously didn't know me that well anyway. During high school I realized something even better than fun flavored gloss: bubblicious gum. Since I was getting a little old to bust out my lip smackers in the middle of Trig, I relied on bubblicious. To this day I still always have a pack. I still get the occasional "I haven't chewed that gum since I was like 10" comment, but it's usually followed by a "so, do you have any more? question. Sure it loses its flavor fast, but never its scent. It smells good for hours on end. I've attracted many boys with its odor alone. Travis Starr used to call me Bubblicious, a boy I used to kiss last year told me"it's amazing that you always smell like strawberries," and one time at a social a guy came up to me and said "whatever you're chewing...it's definitely working for you." I love things that smelled good.

In my sophomore year of college, also known as the year Jessica Simpson moved from C list to A list, I discovered something even better than bubblicious: Dessert lip gloss. This was Jessica Simpsons new line of cosmetics (for lack of a better word). I would have never purchased the item myself, but Al would. She's obsessed with Jessica Simpson. She stocked up on the edible body glitter, fun-tasting bronzer, and of course the gloss. She let me sample the gloss and I was converted. It is the best smelling and best tasting lip gloss I've ever had. It's so good I don't even mind paying 25 dollars for a thin tube of it. Anyway, I've been out of it for a while (people make fun of how fast I go through a tube and it really sucks because I can't buy it in Athens), so yesterday in Atlanta I walked my excited self down to Sephora and grabbed me another tube. It was the only purchase I made yesterday, and without it I would have considered the day a wasted trip to Atlanta. But, my Dessert gloss in Luscious turned the day into a success. I am obsessed with it. I didn't think that was pathetic until I woke up this morning and remembered a dream I had last night. I dreamed I let my roommate try out the lip gloss and she said it tasted bad. I got so mad and we got in a fight. I swear this morning I woke up mad at her and I didn't remember why. Maybe the gloss is more than a minor obsession...
