I've decided that I'm never moving from this couch again. Or at least not for the next couple of days.

Logically speaking, I think I overate on the third roast potato but - in my defense - they were awfull tasty, ~~and I'd do it again.~~

Theres a pile of presents under the tree, and should your name begin with the letters O, P or M then there is a high likelihood that they are for you.

I'll send them. Once I can move.

And fasten my skirt again.

	I think the world could be solved with tuna and a cuddle. Why? Feeling like a black cat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well I know they supposedly bring good fortune, but I can safely say that every single time I've come across a black cat, something bad has happened within the next twenty-four hours. So I've taken to steering clear whenever possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could wear rose coloured glasses - then there would be pink cats everywhere. I'm still going with the cuddle hypothesis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Probably more dark fuchsia. So you're a cuddler, are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Orsino _penny 2009-12-28 03:24 am UTC (link)
	Yes. Well, I'm not the type to chase after people and demand they give me a cuddle, but there is something very satisfying about a decent hug. I might be considered slightly - and only slightly - tactile. Why are you not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Penny oneandtwoand 2009-12-28 03:30 am UTC (link)
	Well that's good, that you wouldn't chase someone down, because they might try to get you arrested for harassment. No. Well, yes, I mean. I am. Very, actually. It's sort of like a bad habit I've had since I was small. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Exactly. And I'm too small to be arrested.

You're a cuddler? ~~I wasn't expecting that~~

How is it a bad habit? So long as the other person gives informed consent to be a huggee, its all perfectly fine. Oh and both parties observe the Rules of Hugging ~~and if not, then theres always a teddy bear~~.

You have the potential to be a good hugger - you have the height.

Er, well that wasn't exactly what I meant, but maybe, I guess. It's...more like I just sort of tend to touch things all the time if they're in reach and I don't even notice it? Which I think some people find annoying, and used to get me in horrible trouble when I was younger and would go into shops and touch and pick up everything that I wasn't supposed to.

I didn't know there were Rules, or that height would help.

As in shoplifting?

Oh yes. The rules are as follows:

1) Both parties shall wear deoderant.
2) No sleeveless shirts shall be involved. Ever.
3) Hands stay around the equator - neither straying above or beyond etc.

Height is a great advantage; I much prefer being hugged by someone who has to reach down to hug me. Its the feeling of being enveloped in someones arms that does it, as opposed to reaching across for a mediocre hug.

	No...but sometimes I'd drop something and break it, or else there'd be "PLEASE, DON'T TOUCH" sorts of signs that I couldn't help but ignore. I don't know, I'd find it annoying if I weren't...me. Those rules seem quite wise. And I suppose I see what you mean about the height thing, but I'd have to find a giant if I were to feel the same way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Orsino _penny 2009-12-28 04:03 am UTC (link)
	Oh. Ouch. Not good. Lots of breakages means very little pocket money. They're born out of necessity. And a lot of trial and error. Well, how about find someone to hug whos smaller than you me and then ask if they'd be so kind as to hug you from a stepladder. Or a taller step. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You seem to have an answer for every dilemma. Would be weird to hug someone standing on a ladder, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm incredibly smart. Its a curse. Fine. You hug me, and I'll stand on the nearest orange crate to hug you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Penny oneandtwoand 2009-12-28 04:17 am UTC (link)
	How terrible for you. It's odd. This is the first time I've felt as though someone is challenging me to a hug. But where would we find an orange crate? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It is. I cry myself to sleep often. Whilst reading impossibly large books, of course.

Not everything with me is a challenge. Really.

It depends ; orange as in the colour orange could probably be found outside of Chudley Stadium. I'm pretty sure even the toilet paper in that place is that sickening colour. But as for oranges orange, hrmm. A greengrocers?

An Orangery? ~~Ask an orangatan~~

	I hope that one of those large books doesn't crush you to death as you sleep. Well you had better use your stunning intellect and figure this out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It won't : the sheer size my brain has swollen to means my skulls virtually indestructable. But your concern is touching.

Hrm. I'm trying to think who I know that would have access to a crate. Would an upturned tea chest work? I could charm it orange..

We have one in the back room at work. Its currently being used as a filing cabinet, but I could spend monday doing somethinng productive?

Don't you have access to crates?

	Never thought about it much, but I'm sure I must. Productive, it is, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We have a Plan! I like plans. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Penny oneandtwoand 2009-12-28 04:37 am UTC (link)
	A plan...to locate a crate, and then hug? That is one of the strangest plans ever, and quite possibly one of the most anticlimactic. Though plans tend to be good, so perhaps not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Orsino _penny 2009-12-28 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Anticlimatic? Are you insinuating that a hug is anticlimatic? That one of my hugs would be such a thing? I'm hurt. Wounded. Heartbroken. I may never be quite the same again. On the bright side, once we've found the location of the crate, neither of us will ever be short of one again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've never hugged you, so I wouldn't know. It might be terrible. You might forget deodorant. I might wear a sleeveless shirt. The things that could go wrong are endless. A quest to end all quests. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could secretly be the size of a house elf. It could go horribly horribly wrong. This epic quests sounds long. I'll best bring sandwiches. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
