I forgot mice. They make me happy too.
Especially literary ones like this. This one is from The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo and drawn by Timothy Basil Ering.
(This is weird, and I have to note: Timothy is the mouse in Dumbo; Basil is the Great Mouse Detective. Ering means nothing to me aside from that show with that guy in it which has nothing to do with mice...)
i just have to say, you're awesome. i know this is weird, and aukward, and i thought you were actually someone else, so im sorry for continuing to lurk. but i just thought i should tell you.
