What is even happening?

I would pay $30 to avoid cuddling with strangers.

I don't even know that I would cuddle with my friends. I'm not sure that was always true. Maybe having a spouse and kids adds an extra tier to the people with whom I'd cuddle, and squeezes out the friends. I hug (some) of my friends.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I can't find strong enough words to express the uncomfortableness of strangers touching me. I don't much like most people, and an even higher percentage of those I don't know.

Yes, this.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Does that extend to massage therapists, msbelle eta (and Steph)? Normally I feel the same way about stranger touch, but getting professional massages is totally different to me. My mother, on the other hand, hates even that idea.

I can't get Dawn's voice to stop saying this in my head. Thanks a lot.

It was supposed to sound like Buffy. I'm sorry it dawnwormed you.

Yesterday, we ended up talking about soaps in Minearverse. Later, I found myself earwormed with Neneh Cherry's Buffalo Stance, and finally figured out it was because it always reminded me of Steve calling Kayla "sweetness" on Days of Our Lives.

Awwww. That was the good old days of Days of Our Lives. I watched it faithfully every day from junior-high through college.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I haven't followd the cuddle party link - do people pair off with someone who's appropriate for their sexual orientation, or is is more of an anything goes (except sex, dry humping, etc) kind of deal?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Whoa. I'm generally a fairly touchy-feely person with my friends, but (to echo Cindy) I would PAY to avoid cuddling with strangers. Eesh. (Not to say they're a bad idea, necessarily, just--SO not a comfortable situation for me.)

Happy birthday, Fred Pete!

Excellent, there is the potential of my making $60 on Sunday, then!

I'm getting the pig!

Oh great. Now Bo and Hope from DoOL are singing in my head.

It's not that far of a stretch to imagine them singing for Buffy and Spike, either. I'm pretty sure Bo and Hope have died *at least* as many times as Buffy and Spike, combined.

I have certain friends that I'm very touchy-feely with. My only excuse is that they started it.

Heck, Hope may have died more times that Buffy and Spike (and possibly Angel) combined. Let's not even start counting the times the Romans and Marlena have died.
