Why Larsa?

Why I Love Larsa: An Essay By Kelly, age 22.

Okay, not an essay. More like a list of reasons why he rocks. But not like TEN REASONS, so don't get your hopes up. Scrabble only strikes once, really.

When I was a wee child, I was a lot like Larsa. I was well-mannered, courteous, and had absolutely no fear when it came to running off “for a good cause!” No, really, I was adventurous, yet totally dedicated to making others proud of me and happy. These traits are hard to reconcile, let me tell you. Also, I crossed my legs at the ankles and folded my hands in my lap -- my mother said it was proper, darn it, so I did.

Myself aside, I honestly just respect the little tyke. He’s wee and cute and made of kitten’s whiskers, but he also has a backbone. He’s not afraid to say what he means, provided he believes whole-heartedly in his words. He stands up to his idol, and is willing to see him for what he is. He’s sweet yet strong, kind yet tough, and not a pushover.

Honestly, I’m just happy to see someone who can be nice yet also unwilling to take, well, everybody else’s shit. It’s refreshing, and I relate to that.

Also, he’s the most adorable little thing since peanut butter. I mean, look at his hair, IT FLIPS. The gloves, my God, the gloves!

Finally, he's a history lover's delight. No, really. Trust me. We'd eat him with a spoon at my university.
