A few years ago, a new poster asked me if i wanted to be hug buddies - the deal was to hug and thank every time the other person posted. I would never have thought of such a deal. It also seemed a little fake to me. Kinda like the online equivalent of never going to bed angry. But i was a neglected child, and she grew up in a much healthier environment. For me, asking for something was asking for trouble, period. But maybe it doesnt have to be that way.

Plus, i was quoting the bible! Are you contradicting the bible? I mean, im an atheist and all kinds of other bad things, but how can you argue with "ask and you shall receive"? Is that allowed?! Youre blowing my mind! It feels like disagreeing with gravity! Or sunshine.

ETA - And i wonder how i end up on the naughty step so often? Im sorry, i dont mean to diminish your feelings. It IS difficult navigating one's way here.
