Free Hugs

You know that website, My Life Is Average? EB introduced me to it a few months ago when she read some story about a guy who got down on one knee and sang "Love Story" to some random girl. It made her think of me. Clearly.

So I was reading that website today and I realized I had a total MLIA moment yesterday. Granted, I have these MLIA moments every day, but this one makes a better story.

My friend Angel and I were walking around Times Square yesterday (after her totally amazing stand-up performance) when we saw a group of those people giving out free hugs. Now normally I ignore them, because it's weird to hug strangers (except sometimes at parties). But this time, I glanced at the huggers and realized that a couple of the guys were like, kinda cute. So I went up to them and opened up my arms. And hugged. And kept hugging.

Now for all those hugging skeptics, the free hugs I got yesterday made me feel so warm and fuzzy that I was almost tempted to stand on the street and offer my own free hugs. Until I realized that I was in New York and could easily contract a disease that way.
