I don't know how long it will last...

[serene]

...or even if I want it to last, but I clicked an LJ link out of reflex today and found that for some reason, LJ isn't blocked at work any more. Hmm.

At any rate, mostly out of my post-con slump. Feeling like I want to invite more touch and comfortable-companionship (and maybe romance?) into my life, because being around people all weekend, people I could just hang with or touch, was really really good for me. I wouldn't call myself touch-starved, exactly, since I seem to do fine with what I get, but it was restorative and beautiful, and I want More More More. Oh, great, earworm. But anyway, I want more flirting in my life, and more touching, and more hanging out, and basically more friends. I don't really have any local friends who aren't "couple-friends" or family. Again, I do fine with what I get, but I want more.

Speaking of friends, gonna see trinker tonight, if all goes as planned. Maybe cook something simple, maybe jacuzzi for a while, maybe just hang out and chatter at each other. It's been too long.

Hi Serene!!!! Missed you!!!!

*flirt**flirt**hug**hug*

Not quite as good as the real thing, but....

I picked up a second-hand hug from [Unknown site tag], though; does that count? :-)

Yes, yes it does. :D

Have you been reading our journals, or did she share? :)

Re: *beam*

I have read no journals in many, many weeks. I believe sharing was the first thing out of her mouth after "Hi," but I could be wrong. :-)

We're both a little bouncy with NRE at the moment, especially after last weekend ;)

welcome back ;-) !

you sound all nice and energized. i think i'm going through part of some of this (could i hedge that a little more?) in that i am realizing that a lot of my closest friends are not local. some are, lucky for me, but lots of people i care about aren't anywhere nearby and it's nice to see friends in person and see them smile and hear their voice and laugh with them.

well that probably cheered you right up ;-) !

Well, I get to see you twice in two months, so I'm actually ecstatic. :-)

[lcohen]

eep! i hope that trip actually works out. i know that ayana will be out there (unless she's in portland that first weekend), but we haven't checked to see how much it will cost to get me there and ayana's so loopy from cough syrup and waking up all night coughing anyway that she's no good for planning stuff at the moment.

but, being optimistic--yes, it will be fabulous to see you again so soon!

No obligation implied, sweet stuff. At any rate, if Ayana's there and you're not, maybe she'll wanna get together for gossip 'n' stuff. :-)
