Love and Other Hugs

Ah, l’amour … that sweet, agonizing bliss that is unrequited love. Shakespeare called it “Swift as a shadowshort as any dream.” I call it that tiny, violent gremlin that is using my small intestine as a skip rope.

But do not despair! “Hug a Vegetarian” Day is finally here, and it’s the perfect excuse to snuggle up to that someone special (pssst, Ryan Gosling, I’m free today!).

“But, Anna!” you say, tears of joy streaming down your face. “However does one do such a thing?” Oh, my young and bright-eyed Street Teamers—it’s too simple, really:

  • Step three: Accidentally-on-purpose have them overhear you talking about HAVD with your friend (and wingman). Study the art of the hair flip and catch their eye with a flirty smile. Again, do not be creepy.

And just like taking off a bandage, it’s all over. Give yourself a huge pat on the back, and be sure to invite me to the wedding. Otherwise, start laying the groundwork for next year’s HAVD (just … you know … don’t be creepy). As Shakespeare says, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Or in my own words, “Outta the way, suckas!”

Happy “Hug a Vegetarian” Day!

    I wish I could hug my crush, but of course I’m sick on HAVD :-(

    Haha so clever. Luckily I’ve got my boyfriend to hug today when I see him. He will just have to give me extra hugs! But I’m going to get extra hugs from everyone else today too! HAPPY HUG A VEGETARIAN/VEGAN DAY!!!!

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
