I plan on offering free hugs...
« on: August 20, 2008, 11:30:02 PM »
I will be going to the mall tomorrow to offer free hugs.  I think it'll be a good way for me to interact with people and break out of my shell.  Wish me luck.

Hey Dog,

Explain the Free Hugs movement to the guys.  Some of them may have never heard of it.  Groups do it all around Chicago and I even had a Free Hug in Seattle last year when I was there on vacation.

The Free Hugs Campaign is a social movement involving individuals who offer hugs to strangers in public places. The campaign was widely publicized in 2006 by a music video on YouTube by the Australian band Sick Puppies. The campaign is an example of a random act of kindness, a purportedly selfless act performed by a person for the sole reason of making others feel better.

For some reason I just don't think you'll go through with it. That Conch shell you are wrapped in seems to be quite thick and difficult to break out of. >:D

However, if you prove me wrong, please post picks of these hugs. O0 Oh, and best of luck! I think the campaign is a great one.

To me a  "Random Act of Kindness" is helping an old lady load groceries in her car, or paying the guys toll in the car behind you, etc.

Just walking up and hugging me without my consent would be a serious violation of my personal Aura (unless it was the Lovely MagmaBabe) and would be dealt with accordingly.

Don't confuse a "Random act of Kindness" with a "Random act of Perversion"..........


And why pick just one day to do "Random Acts of Kindness"...... Live your life to do them daily. "Pay it Forward".......
