Hahah I loved it! Especially because I know the areas! Why would they bother banning it?! The law is a dickhead. I wish I was around to get a free hug!

That guy kind of reminded me of a funky Jesus It’s pathetic that they were banned. He wasn’t harassing people in any form, they approached HIM. I wish more people around the world were more loving.

You actually live a happier life if you recieve seven hugs a day. Seven seems to be the magic number

Yeah it would be fun to start at Uni, hehe.

Oh Bronnie, if only you knew the half of the magic.

The guy’s a local, and I’m proud to say I’ve actually received a hug with the legendary Juan Mann. You feel so warm/fuzzy it’s incredible.

Promise that if I ever bump into you, you get a big fat hug. x

Okay first of all your sister is funny. My friend and I did that lost at a mall one day, we called the police and reported his car stolen but it was in the next lot. Second is your boyfriend in drag? My girlfriend has some pics of me in a pink shirt its utterly annoying. LOL. Do you know what song is in that clip? I like it.

Hmm, I just watched it on mute; it’s not as warm and fuzzy at all: I’m so disappointed! Why did I do that?!
