[…] Mister Paine extended his personal deadline for the hugging meme, I did not want to take any chances: locating him on the map, I teleported to go and say […]

Damn, just today I realized that the deadline for the hugging meme has arrived … and I have not been online during the last two days at all! Hopefully I will make it tonight, to at least get someone to hug, but if not, I’ll just keep my “visibility” turned on ;)

*hugs Smiley over grid & country borders* Happy New Year! =)

Great, I’m not good at deadlines, not even extended ones. I’ll try to make this one though! :d

Uh, not sure I will be going around hugging total random strangers - - I can just imagine the amount of Abuse Reports that would be filed against me for invading people’s personal space, hehe.

But, I will allow myself to be open for surprise hug attacks, should they occur, and yes, will blog all about it.

hmm Still waiting…

Fine, I’ll extend the hug attack deadline from Jan 2nd until, uh, June 2nd, heh.

*Heads over to create a MG account in order to hug Vint* WAIT FOR ME!!11!!!!1*

That’s a neat thing, I really should look if this great 150msec ping i’m recently getting without Packet Loss, can be used in Second Life as well :-D. (or just Habbo UK :-/ )

P.S.: I thought of a gift! I’ll make you the only neko-skinned and avie-like looking resident in the upcoming Pixel Town! ;-) (I’ll double-comment soon to hand out some URLs from my blog describing the soon-released-for-public-testing Pixel Town)

*Examines the picture with more care* Wait, you asked permissions, what happened was she turned before you let go (yes, yes, as you explained, silly London). Now I commented again, I can keep doing it, hehe.

When to break a hug is a delicate matter… too quick is unsavory, and too long is, well, too long .-p.

Until now my best blunder whas when I forgot totally about the hug I was holding with somebody I had just befriended; I also remember she was smaller than I am.

I was chatting happily (and continously, as I use to do) and suddenly I noticed something was wrong; I think it is a sixth sense I have, you know, some kind of instinct… something that let us feel the emotions of somebody through the screen… I know it sounds mystical but…

Ooooookey, she said “Whould you mind you remove my face from your bust, London?”.

I have to admit that hint helped :-p

Thanks for mentioning it, Vint, but… well… “A large part of the grid”! You silly :-p.

Btw, looking at the pictures I noticed that your hug whould had work better if you had asked her permissions and where facing each other… but it doesn’t matters at all. As in Christmas, is the intention what matters, and I know it was hard, since it was for me at first too.

Now I am a hugging addict; it is incredible how much it reduces the distance between virtuality and reality, and how good it feels. Count me in to be hugged anytime you want, Vint.

And yes, I know hugging is my businness, but I swear this wasn’t a sales speech :-p
