If you are going to hug me, do it properly!

Hugs, I want to talk about hugs. Persephone talked about it some time ago and it made me think.

Like the most of you know I live in Norway, like many other places in the world, we get attacked by trends. Hugging people whenever you see them. Sure you say, that doesn't sound so bad. No it wouldn't if it meant the first time you see them in the morning and that they were your good friend. Seriously people. These girls go around hugging everybody, and it's not even good hugs, it's these cold cheek hugs. When you then add this (----) layer of makeup and big clouds of perfume, maybe you understand my discomfort.
I am not a hugging kind of person. I have a rather large personal bubble and there are only 11 people I am comfortable to sitting close to, 5 of those are family. I do not hug strangers, I just don't, but when I hang out with girls who do, you can say I feel even more odd, and I do not need that right now! These cheek hugs and air kisses and the 'heeey's should be forbidden. If you are going to hug me do it properly!

You might guess that I've been carrying this rant around for a long time. Nice to finally get it out.
