You know you are sorely lacking in human affection when you're jealous of TV characters. I was watching Bernie Mac yesterday, and in one scene, Bernie's trying to comfort his niece Vanessa about being too hard on her, and he places his hand on her shoulder briefly. It was a really tender gesture. The sad part is, I stopped what I was doing, and tried to remember when anyone did that to me...
...what's even worse that more than 24 hours later, I'm still trying to remember. 
..I have got to do something about that...
ETA:: just as I'm lamenting my lack of affection, I hear on TV about Cuddle Parties. Why does this make me feel like more of a loser? UGH
