Take Your Chances on Everyday

She noticed the man watching her while she waited to cross the road. She crossed the road hurriedly and made her way towards the shuttle stop. She heard his footsteps following her. Forced herself to not look back, not seem afraid. Why did I wear heels today? What was I thinking? She clutched her purse tightly to herself and tried to walk faster. But subtly. So he wouldn't notice. Her walking faster. She kept hoping someone else would show up. Anyone. Even the homeless guy whom she normally crossed the road to avoid. The sun was still out, there was a breeze, gentle but there, ruffling her hair. This was the most pleasant fifteen minutes of her day. Normally. The footsteps came closer. Faster. Harder. Should she run? Turn around and confront him. She didn't have her MACE with her. She felt her heart beat harder. What if she had a heart attack before she could fight him? A car passed by. Supersonic speed. Did the people inside see her? See the guy following her? Would they remember? A girl in a suit, black heels and a red scarf. The red scarf should stand out, no?

Since we now have a DMB fan club on this blog :D and cos I adore this vid.

That guy would've been a good hugger, lots of cushioning, key to good hugs. Though admittedly, at first I thought he was one of the writers from 30 Rock.
Remind me to send you the DMB 'Lost Accoustics' at some point if you don't have them already.

@r: Haha. Good one.

Oh pliss pliss pliss to send me Lost Accoustics. I don't have them. And why wait for some point. Send now! If not now, then when ,if not you and the rest of that.

Also didja see how most of the guys do the hug-pat rather than an actual hug?

I'm not much of a man-hugger much myself, in fact the only men I hug are the ones who can wolf down the quantities I'm capable of. That makes us kin. But I'm a sucker for a good hug.

Contrary to belief, though, cushioning doesn't make for the best hugs. It's how much you like doing it. If you're uncomfortable, y'know, you end up making the hug all awkward and arms and legs get in the way (not in a nice way).

Though cushioning helps! Admittedly! Especially for a comfort hug.

mmm cushy hugs.. :)

so i think this comment originally started out being all morose but one got sidetracked by all the cushy-huggingness.

I am sorry, that I interfere, but I suggest to go another by.
