In which I am eloquent elsewhere: touch and the have-not, and training to use search engines

[azurelunatic]

TheFerrett writes about the guy who couldn't stand to see couples touching; I reply with some stuff from my experience. One of the most difficult-to-write things I've ever written.

Thette on the "I know it when I see it" search strategy, with input from me.

I didn't know Darkside had had a relationship with your roommate. But they're no longer together, right?

[azurelunatic]

Correct.

They broke up three years ago last April, and they were only dating for a few months.

I understand the touch-deprived thing. I've been through much the same (not ATM, though, thankfully) but like you have never wanted others to miss out just because I was.

If/when we ever wind up both in the same place, I have hugs stored up for you.

Hugs are very good.

I'm not hug-deprived at the moment, really, which is good. I've had just enough hugs to get me by with the amount of social contact I'm getting, though that probably won't be a good amount for Bitchy Witchy Week. But I'll survive that too thanks to the little yellow sanity pills (caffiene).
