So now I hug, but I hug badly. You could lose an eye.
I'm willing to take the risk.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ya know, we really need to number the hugs/no hugs conversation.
I herby dub it the Annual F2F Hug Conversation. AKA Buffista Topic #4578.
I am a very tactile person and will hug anyone who likes being hugged. I will probably make the mistake of hugging a non-hugger or two; I apologize in advance. I get so excited to see people I like/love/am attracted to (hee!), that I show that excitement by hugging. It's totally a me thing, I'm just putting the disclaimer out there that I'm not trying to make anyone uncomfortable or ignoring their wishes, I'm just a very silly girl.

Our wings are not tired.
We need to consider room signs. At various overlapping dates from Wednesday on our room will house Me!, Brenda, Raq, Nicole, and Sail. We might need a sign: Bootyful Bodacious Buffista Babes, Hugs Welcome.

Nametags! Whoever is doing nametags should add a H with a slash throught it for the non huggers, prominently displayed in the upper right hand corner. If you're not wearing your nametag, it's your own damn fault if I hug you.

I don't think we're doing nametags this year.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Why not a simple physical code?
Rule A: If you wish to be hugged, hold out both arms.
Rule B: If you wish to have your interlocutor nibble candy (or haggis) off your neck, hold out one arm (to signal welcome) and with the other point at your throat; neck, in this instance, should be in the slightly stretched position.
Rule C: If you wish to be groped - ok, I'll leave that one up to you guys. Because the only thing that comes to mind is lifting one's skirt above one's head, and that's not fair to any would-be gropee who isn't wearing a dress or a kilt.
Rule D: If you are entirely physically off limits, wear a dead hedgehog in place of a candy necklace.
Speaking of which, do we need candy necklaces? Should I investigate?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
(or haggis) off your neck
Very few things gross me out (it comes from having a younger brother with a really vivid imagination), but haggis around the neck -- that does it. Ewwwwwww.

I can bring them (it's sort of my thing, bringing the candy necklaces every year).

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I can put my hands on candy bras.... (Some Buffistae have seen them. They're hilarious.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Last year I forgot to pack the candy necklaces. I got home and had bear their angry candy gaze from my pillow where they had been stuck whilst I was stuffing things in my bag.
It probably only works with Steph there.
