Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder-

There's the side hug. When someone put one arm around you and squeezes a little. Usually done among friends. Usually accompanied with the words - "Oh, I'm so proud of you." "Aw...it's ok..."

Then there the quick hug. Slightly awkward. Initiated by a small smile and open arms. Done by friends who don't usually show open affection like that, but the situation calls for a little more. Slight blushing after the deed. Done when the friend is leaving to the next country. Accompanied with the words - "Keep in touch, ok?" "Have a safe journey." "Don't forget me."

There's the happy hug. Two long lost friends finally see each other. A frim grip that nearly strangles the two. Accompanied with the words - "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" "Why didn't you tell me you were here?!" "It's you! It's you!" or small squeals.

There's the intimate hug. A firm squeeze equally acted by the two persons. This is the bf/gf hug. Courting couples. Husband and wife. Often accompanied with the words - "Goodnight, dear." "Love you."

Hehe...Now I'm going to feed Mika. It was fun to think of hugs. Since there's no one within hugging radius, I'll settle with hugging Mika.

Which brings to mind the pet hug. Haha....
