that's the most amazingly cute thing ever.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

huh.

[orpheusinhades.livejournal.com]

No, this is the most amazingly cute thing ever.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

not quite as cute as that penguin in Japan that goes shopping for fish with a penguin backpack, but pretty darn close.

It's some mix of the quality of the drawing and the adorably tragic delusion of the snail.

*sigh*

lovely

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

I think I had a radically different reaction to it than everyone else.

[already2late.livejournal.com]

This was reprinted in my dayplanner this month. Awesome.

[khalinche.livejournal.com]

That's so innocent and lovely.

[lapsedmodernist.livejournal.com]

am I the only one who found it absurd and dysfunctional?

[lightcastle.livejournal.com]

Nope.

You misunderstood my "lovely". (My own fault, we don't talk much, so you don't know I tend to use it in a "that's fucked up" way. The *sigh* was a clue.)

[pakanola.livejournal.com]

I interpreted it as a romantic reaction too. Now I understand your comment.

[khalinche.livejournal.com]

It's absurd in an innocent and lovely way.

[boymaenad.livejournal.com]

it makes my heart break a little. it epitomizes the hopeless impossibility of ideal love.

[orpheusinhades.livejournal.com]

I thought it was amusing, but in a "futility of life" way rather than a "oh, how romantic" way. Is that what you meant?

[orpheusinhades.livejournal.com]
