do y'all lean to your left when coming in for a hug?
I never really thought about it before, but yeah, I think so.
I slept for 12 almost uninterrupted hours. Why do I feel like I could take a nap?
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If it's a close friend/intimate hug - full frontal press.
Head to the left?
I give a million sorts of hugs to krav people alone, based on physical and other intimacy. But I always go left, and there's nary a collision.
A friend of mine from Vancouver asked about kissing guys on the cheek and I was adamant that I was not about to start. She got confused because I'd always done the Montreal double kiss (starting left, natch) when I was in Canada--it just seems weird here, though. There is one krav friend who does it, and I had to talk myself down from it creeping me out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I know I've had to do the which-way-to-lean dance when going in for a hug. That may have been me trying to hug non-huggers, though.

So your head can be left or right?
Now I'm trying to think of who I hug right over/left under and who I hug both over. And if I hug anyone both under.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Head to the left?
Yep. I think that's a standard convention. Otherwise - headknocking. And I suspect it's based on predominant right handedness.

only both arms under with some of the really tall exes. If I hug both arms under head only hits the chest.
and yeah, head either side if both arms over. cause usually with a both arms over, that person is about to get kissed.

And if I hug anyone both under.
Being short, anyone over 6' gets the both under from me. Otherwise we both try to be pretzels, which is inclined to throw backs out.

The Rolling Stones are playing about 500 feet from my house right now.
How's it sound?
It sounds pretty good. Actually, I can go outside my door and cross the street and see the video screen. It's kind of like a street party out there. Too bad it's been pissing rain all day.
Happy belated birthday, btw!
Thanks! It was an awesome day. I hope that means it's the beginning of a great new year for me.
I have no idea how I hug. I guess I'll have to hug someone and see what happens. Where's Jesse?

Hmm. I think I do both arms over to greet Colin, but no kissing. Some dangling, though. It's a position I will stand in to talk to him. I think I'm head left there too.
Right handedness? Is that about keeping the right hand free?
Where's Jesse?
