Am I odd for liking this?

but fresh mimeograph papers, now there's a smell!
I used to love that smell when they were fresh off the machine as a kid. I had one of the nuns slap me once for sniffing the paper. While I do notice the smell of new things, it does not do that much for me. The only smells that get me going are those of good food filling the house. Now that is something to get excited about.
I don't think you are odd at all.

He stepped it up a notch the other day when, as we were crossing a street, he dropped down to smell the painted lines of the cross walk. I love the smell of a hot autoclave when I'm removing surgical instruments (my "real" job is veterinary medicine). As a child I loved the smell of leaded gasoline....and no, I was never a gas huffer.

I quite like the smell of petrol too.
Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
