It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Seabiscuit is a world class cuddler, just for the record.

I even have non-cuddly cats!

Because books.

I would be a cuddle whore (I'm being facetious) if possible. Maybe not with total strangers, but with most people I feel comfortable with, sure. Right now I feel particularly touch-starved, and Sara won't let me snuggle her as often as she used to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I let a coworker hug me just today! Progress.

So Temeraire is the only dragon I've ever cared about, but I still might need this: [link]

Me too. Walter is a leaner but not so much a cuddler. Wednesday was like a seal, always wanting to be in contact with someone and it usually ended up being me because the other cats would not stand for that and Walter could only take it for a little while. I do miss that. I can be touchy-feely with humans, but only humans I know pretty well. I got a 15 minute massage yesterday (benefit of the health fair) and even that was a little awkward feeling.

Oooh, dragon cake would be very fun to decorate.

Yeehaw, my co-worker is picking up lunch at a place I still have not been to but know have gotten takeout in this manner from. And I didn't pack a lunch today, so I was gonna have to buy something regardless. Gumbo and fried fish, hooray!

And another coworker just gave me half an avocado. I must look hungry today.

I am a hugger, so I am also cuddly toward my friends.

While I was setting up the GCS table at the con, two little girls gave me fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. I asked them if I looked like I needed sugar, and they chorused "Yes!"

Current recipients of my cuddling tendencies are: husband, children, pets. So far, my coworkers are safe from me, as are my more hug-averse friends.

Yeah, and some of us have no pets, no partner, and no children. :(

That said, while there was some snuggling/spooning going on, there were also some great round squishy stuffed animal/pillows that were great for cuddling with, and lots of other stuff like hand or foot rubs, hair petting, etc. And many of the people there (there were maybe 12?) were massage therapists, yoga teachers, or acupuncturists, so it was lots of folks who are very professionally touchy. I was definitely not the one in the middle of the spoon train though...but the people who were had actually met before, at previous parties and stuff. I think those of us who were new were more on the "hair pets and sitting next to each other with arms around a shoulder/head on a shoulder" kind of thing.
