Jars, you've got me shuddering. Not because I'm bothered having my hair cut (in fact, I really miss having my hair washed), but because you reminded me of a krav instructor using me in a demonstration where he said "Get really close to your partner. This close. Breathing on the back of their neck close."

And then he did.

It's been a week. I'd never have guessed how much closer (and through my invisible walls) he got just by exhaling wetly. It still makes me shiver.

ita, I hope you kicked his ass. That is so freaking creepy. Ew.

Sure, Kat, although just cake!!! would be fine with me too. Did I mention I kinda like cake?

I didn't have a hope in hell of kicking this guy's ass. He's a great guy, lot's of fun, we've hung out outside of the centre. And he was perfectly evenhanded in offering me the opportunity to breathe on his neck in return.

The funniest part is that you have to see this without the slightest bit of sexual overtones. He's just like that.

But oh, my neck feels weird just thinking about it.

And the cake I have for you is filled with YUM!

But brunch would be fun.

THIS is what wanting to cuddle could get you.

Kate, I'm so sorry.

About the cuddling -- needless to say, I would never ever go to a cuddle party. I'm not big on cuddling people I know and like, frankly. Except ita, of course. But I do like touchy services -- massage, pedicure, etc., and part of it is the touch. The fact is, I can go for days without significant physical contact with another person.

Oh, also, I was feeling like the air-conditioning at work was the total bright side of working on my usual day off, until I remembered I could have been at the pool instead. Alas!

The funniest part is that you have to see this without the slightest bit of sexual overtones.

Yeah, it still would have had me rocking back and forth in the corner of the room. YAvoidanceOfHumanContactMV.

This is the part that kills me:

He confessed to a bartender at a sports bar before his arrest.

"Here's your beer. What's up, buddy? You look kind of down?"

"Well, I think I fucked up with my girlfriend."

"Yeah, we all do that sometimes."

"Yeah, she was nagging me to come to bed and cuddle after sex, and I just couldn't take it any mroe, so I completely smashed her skull in with a claw hammer."

"Ummmmm..... I'll be right back. I have to.... Do a thing."

Yeah, it still would have had me rocking back and forth in the corner of the room.

I think the groundfighting would have driven you out of the room way beforehand.

Imagine groundfighting with someone who scuttles. So it's not a firm contact with your body, but a light and unpredictable contact between their torso and anywhere on your body.

That also was too much for me. I had to disengage my brain and many of my nerve endings to get through that exercise.
