hey, i have been meaning to ask you this for a short while, if you don't mind what is your personal etymology of "prego"? i have not seen it used before in this way.

on sunday i saw jars of prego and ragu at the corner store and was reminded of you then and there. :oops: :P

prego tastes good Image
but prego is simply an Italian word for welcome, you're welcome, come in, please, you first, and many other things along these lines. it literally translates as "I pray" but means something closer to "if it pleases you." [courtesy bing]

Most people can't understand it at all but hugs are really great for me. My ability to communicate verbally is barely worth considering an ability at all. Plus you can talk to someone for an hour and it be less clear that you care about them then if you hugged them for two seconds. Talking really just makes me anxious in most situations. Constantly trying to figure out what to say. There's so many factors to it added on top of me hardly being capable of clear speech to begin with. Words are so ambiguous you just keep worrying if you said the completely wrong thing. A hug is simple.

I love it when people touch me

But I HATE light touches like tags on shirts and stuff. And things that are cold.

Where's the option for "I wish I could be, but there's nobody who would"?

Being touched by anyone other than my close family is terrible. Absolutely terrible.

It depends not only on what she's touching, but why ... :twisted:

This happened to me two or three times now. Somebody is really messing with me and I just let them untill they touch me. I'll pull myself free with such force they instantly get the message and leave me alone.
That hardly ever happens. Mostly people just brush past me in the supermarket. It's been awhile since I was touched by someone. Crazy.

Now when someone slaps me on the back or touches my wrist it startles me.

if I am aware of what is coming, I take it in the spirit in which it was offered.
