Fancy a Hug?

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.

caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Big hug.

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

Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:08 (twenty-three years ago)

I am happilly high on huggles. Hugs to all.

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 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.
