How does it happen that we can associate certain sounds, smells, or places with events, or people, or other places? Today while walking up the steps at Kipling subway, the dampness and humidity reminded me of swimming lessons when I was a kid. The mustiness of the hallways at Innis College remind me of the bio building at Waterloo. Those "Holiday" candles from the Gap remind me of vegging in res in first year. And maybe I shouldn't include this, but people with B.O. remind me of a certain smelly person at Sheridan College :S boo...

Good or bad, these reminders usually hit me out of the blue.

Sometimes though, I'll know what they are, and seek them out. Sarah's songs. Starry skies. Beaches at night. Wings. Abercrombie and Fitch. Beetles (eek). Sheep emoticons (to the rescue!). The Cranberries. "Hey...wha happened?"

I'll laugh, I'll smile. I'll think of you, I'll think of us.

You're not so far away right now, but fast asleep, I'm sure ;) I think now's a good time to pop Sarah into the cd player...
