rosefox has entertaining t-shirt designs. If I were a bigger fan of chocolate and/or less strongly against sticky on my skin, I might just get one of those. ;)

dr_memory has an amusing slightly not work-safe post.

And I've seen bunches and bunches of links about the possible postponement of the US November elections. On its face, if it's just a _postponement_ and not a canceling, I'm probably ok with it. If there is, in fact, another dramatic terrorist thing, people are likely to be too distracted/dismayed by it to remember to vote anyway. But I'm worried it'll turn into more than that... and I'm worried that the decision will be disorganized and confusing and/or that it'll end up _looking_ like a postponement and then actually counting. Or something. Doesn't look good from where I am. Lots of links/info about this all over the place on my friends list. The most recent example is here.

Oh, good _gods_, I suddenly want touch.

And not just any touch. Touch where I'm not trying to heal someone or be healed. Touch where I don't have to think about whether or not they'll want the touch and/or have to ask for it, or whether or not there are areas I have to be careful about touching (ticklishness can be problematic). Comfy, non-thinking-required...

Gah.

[edit: it's actually fairly difficult for me to be comfortable enough to not think at all when cuddling with someone, and pretty much requires that they are both ridiculously comfy for me to be around _and_ are naturally very cuddly]

[another edit: non-thinking-required != not thinking. By that, I _really_ meant that I don't have to think about the cuddling itself in terms of being highly aware of where to not touch (for tickling reasons, mostly), whether or not the person really _wants_ to be touching for so long, etc...]

[yet another edit: cuddling, for me, implies that physical contact is being initiated by _both_ people, not only one. I need to feel like the other person is actively interested/involved in it, or it's not cuddling.]

Quoting ysabel quoting GURPS:

"just because you delusional doesn't mean you're not right...and just because you're right doesn't mean you're not delusional."

The degree to which this describes my world is simply not word-able.

So, addendum to my previous post, which I _actually_ thought I should post almost immediately after leaving work but had no chance to.

I am _not_ under the impression that relationships which are as easy as I always thought that they should be able to be means that they will always be easy. Gods, no! That would be a bad thing to believe, oh, yes. All relationships have difficulties of some sort or another at some point(s), and they all require work of some sort (although if it starts _feeling_ like work, that's really not a good sign). I'd actually probably be a little worried if there were never any difficulties, because it would mean that either no one is growing, or things aren't being said that need to be.

Also, yes, venting earlier helped quite a lot. Interestingly, when I was thinking about posting it, I almost made it private, but then realized that if I _did_ that, I wouldn't put nearly as much work into making it say what I needed it to say as I did. Besides, you people seem to have this odd feeling of _liking_ to know what's in my head, including the stuff I don't much like having in there. Y'all are strange. ;)
