dearest wonderwillow, it was so nice to get some l&a from you the past week. as i’m reading i’m jealously taking stock of all the willow touchin’ i get: “yep, definitely get the arm holds, hmm….butt patting, do i get but patting? i’m sure there must have been at least once…” so good to be connected again-lovelovelove you!
do the “stupid poodle” owners keep up with your blog? that gave me a good chuckle!

I love a child’s touch. There’s nothing that makes me feel better than when my nephew gives me a “squeeze hug.” It’s so incredibly sincere and honestly loving. It just eases my mind.
I wish I could teleport or whatever they do on Star Trek so I could get a hug from you right now!

Willow! I miss your butt pats sooo much! I miss the youthful days of snuggle puddles and group dancing where everyone is pressed up against everyone else. As much as my friends out here are lovey, there’s no where near the same level of touchiness…too bad.

im a hugger too… and a toucher. but i think taiwan changed me a little bit. it was awful for awhile. i would reach out to touch, nudge, poke, shake, rub someone… and they would literally jump back! living in such tight quarters with so many taiwanese people, and rarely did i ever get touched. i tried to start a hugging trend amongst my friends there… and it sort of caught on… but never like it was in the states. but now that i am back, im the one who hardly touches people! i don’t understand what happened to me! thats why it was so good for me to come to portland where people hugged me. that was special. i think i may have made the complete return to my hug-fueled days.

Nothing like a trip to Denver to fill up your hug quota! Miss you!

i sort of envy how uninhibited little kids are that way. it’s so simple. if they like you, they give you a hug or grab your hand or kiss your cheek. i love that. i am definitely a hugs/kisses person.

its weird though, i become more of a ‘contact’ person as i get older. when i was a kid i HATED anyone touching me, hugging me, holding my hand…but now i guess i’ve got used to a boyfriend who has to squash me into a corner in bed in order to have some element of contact with me all night
