I'm turning this post into a hug depository.

Anybody with hugs or happy stories to share, please do. I'm not the only one who needs it right now.

Anyone who needs a hug, feel free to take some, or feel free to rant, or complain, or cry, or whatever.

We've all gotta look out for each other. That's part of what being human is.

~S.
MOOP!

And I'll start off by leaving four very warm safe hugs, because that is the number of non-me people who I *know* need some snuggling and love and comfort right now.

i would like to deposit 2 iHugs (tm) from Apple!

I will go ahead and take one of those, but first I'll jailbreak it so I don't have have to worry about proprietary format.

*poings through, snags a coupla warm safe hugs, leaves a pile of ferret hgugles, & then sneaks off to hide back under the couch again*

(i kindof fit in both categories right now.. because although i had a Very Good Positive Thing happen today, i am also still feeling a gaping hole in my heart right now and filling it with warm hugs makes all the difference ♥)

(and funnily enough, i almost put the text of your avatar in my Away message today too...)

Snuggly hugs, the kind that mommies give. To anyone who needs them.

Love,
your
Mom

Those are pretty much the best hugs ever.

I was thinking about you earlier when I gave blood. I miss you like crazy, mom.

*definitely accepts some hugs*

The boy offered to be my hug pimp today (his words) and try to get ahold of you to give me a hug. (I never know what to call him here because I know you know him by his real name, but he doesn't like it used on the internet, so...)

I told him I did not want a hug pimp. Also I thought if somebody gave me a big long hug I'd probably burst into tears.

But I may be back for one of these a little bit later. Or track you down tomorrow to give you an in-person hug if you'd like one.

OK, I see [livejournal.com profile] ljdragon hasn't posted this yet, so I'll sneak in and beat her to the punch.

Yesterday my flatmate (who'd been constantly fighting to get to lead at our local uni dance club) got an email back from Ceroc Wellington basically saying that she couldn't lead for one of their workshops. And she was pretty bummed. So when we went to a lesson held in Christchurch by Ceroc I was half-expecting them to be all "sorry you can't lead bai". But when she asked them about it, not only did they say she was welcome to lead, they gave her an "Official Leader" badge.

Also, it turns out that I can modify the method used by Wu et al. by adding a fluoride-containing salt, and I get a product out at the end of it. This means that of the two methods I've tried in the last month or so for synthesis of titania, both produce stuff when modified!

Could I collect a hug?
I will try and think of a good story :)

Your icon, while thematically appropriate, seems very ironic for this post.

But I'll still leave a few <hug>s (and people can share them, I have long arms), and maybe take one from the collection.

[identity profile] kdsorceress.livejournal.com 2010-04-29 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs you happily* Of COURSE you can collect a hug! Anytime you want, babe!

It'll be okay, Dog. You're strong, and will make it through.

I leave five "You-are-totally-valid-and-talented-don't-doubt-yourself-hugs." Because I'm going through one of those "You'll never be an artist" jags.

And bacon.

Hope I'm not too late.

I could surely use a few hugs as ever, but tonight I think I'm more in the hugs-giving mode, so here's a supply of hugs and some head-scritches thrown in for good measure.

This is a delicious counter-offering.

In the vein of comfort food. Ever had an apple fritter with cheddar cheese?

Kat & I made one once (she did most of the work); I believe I have a picture somewhere of her weaving a bacon latticework for the top. I should ask her if she wants it.

I have not, but it sounds delicious!

I'm not sure how I managed to walk from one side of the camp to the other that night. These days, help can be a few steps away, more familiar, and I won't reach out. I can be surrounded by people, yet feel so cut off. Around me, they interact so easily, connecting both emotionally and physically in ways I can only dream of. Sometimes, I think I drive the;m away, that they can sense this unease in me, passing me by when giving everyone else affection, making plans the likes of which I wish I could make. How can I be like them? How can I be more human?

Arg, absolutely!

*hugs you tight and pets your hair*

I don't know if this is still true, but I have the capability to be deliberate, and I am always careful.

*hugs you as well as you wish*

*leaves hugs, whoever you are, and hopes you receive them somehow*
