Feeling isolated and unhappy, so I isolate myself. Perfect sense!

The problem is that I don't want in-person contact or phone contact, I want a particular sort of online contact where people are talking to me directly. And I don't feel like answering email, because my brain is perverse. That's why I've been more active on LJ the last couple of days.
And yet I want a hug.

The day can be over any time now.

Heh. Thank you, and thank the puppy. halfbakery (http://www.halfbakery.com/) is doing all right at cheering me up, but attention is better.

Wow. Your brain is perverse.

You can have an epurr from my kitty.

I'm sure mine are giving me wireless internet-enabled "PLAY WITH US NOW" meows from afar as we type. Fortunately, I am not able to receive their transmissions.

I do the same thing. If you want to chat over some form of IM (which, along with MUSHing, are what work for me), let me know in e-mail; I'll be around and available at some point over this weekend.

Thanks. I haven't been on a MUSH in... wow. Crypt died in '96, I think, and I haven't been on any since about that time. That was a big thing for me for a while there. MUDding lasted longer because my crowd changed, but not by much.

Most likely I will hole up and read, or go to the opposite extreme and force myself to interact face-to-face, but I appreciate the offer.

...same kinda thing. Chat mode on a citadel-ux is another non-standard medium. (Gosh, I even happen to have a citadel-ux (plug...ssh to impsec.net, user citadel, pw bbs..../plug)

Now that I've plugged it, I'm not going to bo on it, I'm going to take a nap. Mmmm....nap.


And as you're already getting virtual hugs, I'll offer a virtual footrub, which my wirtual self can virtually do in my sleep. Or maybe I'm still awake for 2 more hours in the Pacific time zone

If you wanna do a low-key FTF thing, I'm still up for trilobaking. :) If not, that's okay too; I well understand unsocial urges.

I do that too. It's not uncommon. It's why on my days off from being extroverted, I usually hang out on IRC a lot.

*e-hug*
