Somebody touched me yesterday

Interesting.

Given that I am married and have kids, I haven't gone without touching someone for a noticable period for years. Even if I did, like on a business trip or something, I am not sure I would notice or think about it.

I would like to think so I am just not sure. Physical human contact is definitely important to me, but like I said, i have it in abundence. I get at least 2-3 hugs from Sara everyday, often more, and I hold David throughout the day for various reasons, and that's just the kids.

Well, anyway, I just found it interesting that it caused such a reaction, because I do think I might respond in a similar way.

Interesting. I wonder what Finland will be like for you

By all accounts, the Finns are rather standoffish until you get to know them well. So I'll prolly go through a similar touch withdrawal for the first month or two.

I made a good friend during my semester in Russia, named Olya. It was also customary there for friends to walk down the street holding hands or linking arms. I quite liked it.

*zen hug* - the hug we'd give you if you were here, but you're not, so we can't.

hmm yeah I often notice when I'm touched.... and not always in a positive way

I've had sweeties in the past where I would sit next to them on the sofa and simply *ache* for an affectionate touch, but that simply wasn't their nature. My last fella was specifically chosen because he was very touchy-feely, and I just loved it.

Having snuggly kitties takes the edge off, I've found.

Well, I feel your pain. I am a very touchy person. I hold hands with friend and hug people all the time. I went to Italy went I was 16 and everyone their holda hands. I think that's went it started. I think people think I am gay a lot.
