dude, the suicide rate for moths must be pretty high. always flying into the fucking light.

but i love moths...which is very much in line with my bizarre preference for the things no one else likes much, i suppose...
but they're just...softer-looking. and i don't mean texture-wise, though that too. they just look humbler and gentler than butterflies somehow. and they come in such pretty patterns, like ones that look like leaves, and luna moths, and so on.

um. *cuts this ramble off*

bottom line: i like moths. *nods*

i'm not sure if i like them, so much as i empathize and feel pity for something so small and gray and pathetic. :)

you. you're wonderful. and this made me think and made me want to cry, you know. <3.

aw, i didn't mean for moths to invoke this kind of emotion.. heh.

as to the wonderfulness factor, you are it. :)

that was too poetic.
too true.

stupid moths, i pity them and you feel the pain on their behalf. sorry juls, they eat my sweaters.

Wait, was that a truly heart-felt rant about moths and the disappointments they face in life? What about ants? No one ever admires their strength; rather people just decide random cruel ways to kill them. Mass murder in fact. Though not with gas, just poison--or a huge shoe to crush the life out of them. But I think that insects are the least likely species to be able to have intelligent emotions... dogs or dolphins having emotions makes more sense to me. My point being: in the end, moths are always mediocre. They're beauty is less than average, and their suffering is no greater than most divisions of the insect families.

hahahaha. you're too great. <3

i would just like to inform you that the "what about..?" argument is a FALLACY according to mr. wright's classical rhetoric rules. ;P
