I try not to complain on this blog. But man-oh-man, I bought scented toilet paper by accident yesterday and I hate scented toilet paper. I'm of the option that scented toilet paper should did not exist.

Here's what happened: I couldn't find my normal toilet paper at Billa so I bought some new toilet paper. I hate change. I'd like to buy the same thing every time I go to the grocery store but sometimes you have to do these things. I mean it's not like I can do without.

I looked at all of the kinds/brands/types of toilet paper on the wall of toilet paper. I nixed the colored and anything obviously scented. There are a lot of options. Too many in fact. Luckily I eliminated most of the options right off the bat.

This left me with about three choices: one that said sensitive, one that looked like recycled newspaper and one that said "go green." <!--more-->

The sensitive brand wasn't obviously scent free and the recycled newspaper version looked cheaper that the toilet paper we have in the toilets at school. That left me with the "go green" toilet paper.

I wasn't exactly sure what that meant but I assumed that it was scent free. I mean scent isn't "green," is it?

Turns out I was wrong.

It seems that the "go green" toilet paper smells exactly like the pine scented trees Americans hang in their cars off the rear-view mirror. It's seriously intense. I thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad after I hung up the roll. Not the case.

Now my bathroom smells kind of like a pine forest. But just to clarify--not an awesome forest, a <em>fake</em> pine forest. I guess that's <em>kind of</em> green. Just not the kind of green that I was thinking when I bought the four-pack of toilet paper.

The worst part of the story is that I am part-lazy, part-busy and part-cheap and I haven't bought new toilet paper yet. It is on my to-do list... but there are a lot of things on my to-do list.

The only question that's left: when you live in a neighborhood full of block buildings, who's house do you toilet paper?!
