Your icon is entirely too adorable.

[gmth]

Thanks. I see you have one from peaces_icons too. :-)

Are you actually going to bring this to his attention? Because I think you should.

I didn't realize it at first, either. Not that I am a dunce, I'd just never seen that LJ before, so it wasn't until I read more in the lj itself that I saw what the scoop was.

And there's no shame in that, really. No one could be expected to really understand if they haven't been part of it. This is a chance to learn something, and I hope the chance is taken advantage of.
