Fancy a Hug?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Last night when everything was going on, I was counting myself lucky to have someone in my bed who I could snuggle with and feel better about things. And I was thinking it would be really nice if we could all just put that social awkwardness aside and give each other a hug. So this is virtual hugs out to all of you and and encouragement to meet up wherever you may be and laugh and hold hands and cry.

Thank you. I was feeling pretty awful. Hugs back to everyone.

Hugs to the ladies
covert groping too
Brief masculine embraces to the fellas

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll pretend to ignore the groping. Hugs to everyone!

Air Hugs to everyone.

I've always felt awkward hugging other people, even those that I love. I think alot of it is that I'm so ultra tall and I have to lean over... I dunno. But I accept all hugs. And I think I'm decent at giving virtual hugs, so here you go: oo ooooo o o o o o o...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I sort of know what you mean about the awkwardness, Sarah, but since so many people like to get hugs from me (I'm 6'2", friendly and rather bear-like), I usually oblige them. More hugs!

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I am similarly not that into hugging people who I'm not romantically involved with but nevertheless I will admit that hugging is a force of good and so I "go with the flow".

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Hugs always sound like a good idea. But I have bad breath, I think, so...

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:19 (twenty-three years ago)

*smint*

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I've lowered the tone, haven't I? At least I didn't say sweaty armpits.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Hugs make my insides smile.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:27 (twenty-three years ago)

The last time I got a real-life hug off anyone, it had to be someone I *so* didn't want that close to me.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Christine, don't hug with your mouth!

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Hugs are too precious to waste - if I feel compelled to hug someone I don't want to be close to I kind of gingerly hug them and slap them on the back a couple of times. This is my secret sign to myself (and those in the know) THAT IT MEANS NOTHING.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, I didn't get a choice in the matter. I was just grabbed without warning. A quick kiss too, thankfully only on the cheek. This was over a year ago, though. I don't get hugged too often.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:37 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll have a hug with someone most days - I have so much love to give!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Hugging people with your mouth can be damn good fun, though. Unless you're an alien, possibly.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Perhaps more so if you are being hugged by an alien?

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:44 (twenty-three years ago)

That's pretty close to my last hugging experience. Although, I understand some aliens are quite nice.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Did your 'alien' have a Martian elastic band, perchance?

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:47 (twenty-three years ago)

at mass during passing of the peace, i get like a dozen.

― anthony easton (anthony), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:50 (twenty-three years ago)

You pass peace at mass? Aren't you meant to be concentrating?

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:54 (twenty-three years ago)

See, the uptight Church Of England just go around shaking hands.

― caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm afraid I might look silly, but the elastic band comment's gone over my head.

Did someone mention Der War?!

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:04 (twenty-three years ago)

BTW, as a former Catholic, I haven't a clue what all this peace passing and hugging is about...

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:04 (twenty-three years ago)

It's that whole "Peace be with you" part where everyone shakes hands with those around them. People who know each other well might hug.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not sure we ever did that. This was the UK, late '70s/early '80s, if that means anything. (Haven't been to mass since I was about 12, as far I can remember.)

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:09 (twenty-three years ago)

This is my secret sign to myself (and those in the know) THAT IT MEANS NOTHING.

(cries)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS TO YOU!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:13 (twenty-three years ago)

"How would you like a
MUCH BIGGER PENIS?
Gain up to 3-4 inches!!"

"Create an INCOME with your COMPUTER"

I just got spam.

Someone give me a hug of condolence.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:15 (twenty-three years ago)

Eww, you're dirty!

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:16 (twenty-three years ago)

No, really, these things leave deep, emotional scars, you know?

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Hugs all around!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry C - I'll hug you but you're gonna have to wash your hands first.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 20 March 2003 19:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't get nearly enough hugs. Hugs to everyone here!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 20 March 2003 22:30 (twenty-three years ago)

*hugz*

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Thursday, 20 March 2003 23:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not saying whether I washed my hands or not, anyway. Surely that makes it more exciting.

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Thursday, 20 March 2003 23:14 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not sure I look for "excitement" from hugs as much as I look for "comfort" -- it would be more comforting to know that your hands were clean.

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 20 March 2003 23:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Y'all are overthinking this. Have another pint and put your head on my shoulder.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 20 March 2003 23:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I hug with my brane.

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 20 March 2003 23:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Would it help if I said I wash my hands 37 times a day?

(It might even be true.)

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Friday, 21 March 2003 00:44 (twenty-three years ago)

i fancy an orgasm more than a hug.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 March 2003 00:50 (twenty-three years ago)

F.A.O.?

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 21 March 2003 01:11 (twenty-three years ago)

The orgasm might be nice but I'll settle for a (virtual) hug.

one year passes...

I want a hug. On Subterranean they just played a Walkmen video that gets me in my secret emo-loving heart and now i don't know how I'm going to get to sleep. At least I don't have work tomorrow.

I've got beer...http://www.greensbeverages.com/apr03/bavaria.jpg

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 10 May 2004 04:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been studying all weekend long and so the return to these confines has been strange, to say the least. In short, I need hugs and the sooner I can get them, the better off I am.
