Ever had that 'not enough hugs for the day' feeling? You know, where you just kinda need 'em... I'm admittedly a touchy feeley person, so cold frozen greetings suck, from my perspective.
Lucky for me, in Argentina it is customary to greet everyone with a kiss on the cheek (unless you're a 'gotta be macho-er than that' teen/guy greeting another of the same genre.) Thought it may sometimes take you a bit to make your way around the room... many might take actual offense if you were to come or go without the usual salutation! Maybe that's where my dire need for actual greeting recognition comes from...
Either way (did I even give you a second possibility? I don't think so!) I want hugs! Maybe others don't want to give them to me... and I certainly am not usually one to push. Heck, I especially won't ask when I am probably in the most need for one, out of fear of rejection... or worse yet: an insincere embrace!
This sounds all depressing and stuff, so I'm going to leave at that... ponder, wonder, and hug!
On a brighter note: I'm packin' my bags and heading up to Bird Lake with my familia for a long weekend of relaxation and acampando!
