How About Hugs?

Hey there, readers.

So yesterday, the Meaghan Hulk got out a bit and we had that fun and somewhat serious post about people and things I want to punch in the face. (Can I just mention that my fiance was - and still is - horrified that I want to punch Owen Wilson?  I regret nothing.)

As I was falling asleep last night, I was thinking (because that's when all the good thoughts come, you know) about how maybe I should write a list post of all the people and things I want to hug instead.  As contrast.  Might not be as funny, but it would balance out the Karma scales a bit.  Yeah?

(And really, Cancer is mostly predominant with me, so hugging is more of a natural response.  Actually, burying my head in the sand and waiting for the danger to pass is the most natural response for me, but I don't think you want to see my tush in the air.  Ahem.  That got off track fast.)

So here it is.  Also, lets assume these are people outside the real of normal hugging people - like, I would hug my friends and family all the time, so they aren't on here because it's a given.

Ahem.

Birdgirl90's List of People and Things She Wants to Hug:

~Everyone on the punch list (because hugs between punching would be hysterical and meaningful)

~Tom Hiddleston (because damn, no explanation needed)

~Loki (because he's like seriously misunderstood and has adoption issues and his mom is dead and he could seriously use a good hug)

~David Bowie

~Studio Ghibli (my life would not be complete without Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, or Kiki's Delivery Service, to name a few)

~Diana Wynne Jones

~Neil Gaiman

~Yu-Gi-Oh! the anime (because it gave me something to hold onto when I was a teenager)

~Yu-Gi-Oh! the Abridged Series

Have a hug, my reader.
