tinglies daxle there are these certain things: 1) live music nearby- not a band at a venue. recently in life it's been friends and roommates playing guitar, keyboards, banjo, or accordion. 2) watching someone pet or softly play with someone else's hair. sometimes, but not quite as often, my own hair. 3) soft touches from kids. not when they grab you or hug you. like when they absent mindedly hold your fingers, or lightly rest their hand on your knee. what these things have in common is a rush of head tingles that's infinitely pleasurable to me. i have no explanation for it. the first time i remember was when i was in kindergarten sitting behind this girl with red hair... not heather, but something like it. when she touched her hair i got tingly. i wanted her to play with mine but that was unacceptable behavior. 040831 ... . . 040928 what's it to you? who go blather from
