Cute War: Valentines Day Edition

So yesterday was that widely-despised day that makes single people feel just how single they are right down through to their bones. Yesterday, for maybe the second time ever, I was wrapped up in the saccharine, frankly disgusting ritual of being ridiculously cute. I was being that person all the single people love to hate on love day. The following is the exchange of materials between Pat and I on Facebook.

I have to say, in this, the War of Cuteness, I do so humbly believe that I am the victor. Despite the fact that Pat made the above picture...whatever...


I struck the first decisive blow in the early morning:

>Yesterday

Happy Valentine's Day to the ever-wonderful Patrick  :-)

Following up my attack with a well-placed Minecraft-themed Valentines Day YouTube video:

Don't do what happens in the ending, please :-*

    David: yea that's something you bring up on the first or second non-date

  • Patrick: I mean, he never formally disclosed how long I would be able to maintain my existence, so I didnt really see it as a thing.

    David: This is not going to be like the Time Traveler's Wife. I won't allow it.
    

    Yesterday at 10:28am • 
  • Patrick: No it's fine. I should be aware of my fate at least 48 hours before I burst into ash, so it wont be THAT much of a surprise.

And at the end of my three pronged attack, warning him of the devastation that was to come:

David

Yesterday

I'm going to bombard you with cuteness pretty much all day.

• • Patrick Hughes ‎:) :) :)
    

He responded with a rebuttal status that was hardly as flattering, and therefore, substantially less effective (commentation clarification did not help his case):

Patrick Hughes

And a very Happy Valentine's Day to the ever-scandalous (but still pretty fantastic) @David :)

    David Riemer: What have I done lately that's been scandalous other than dancing with that guy at Yale (unwittingly) and fawning over my history teacher?!

A few minutes later, he accepted my challenge and launched his own heart-bearing German Shepherd attack; the German Shepherd tore at my emotions:





In response, I masterfully exe[cute]d a barrage of adorability the likes of which the world has never seen, and which it will be hard pressed to outshine:

The closing moments of the war were marked by an almost tragic defeat when this picture appeared on my wall, seemingly a hand-drawn atomic weapon of cuteness:

• You, David and Karli like this.

    David: I just made noises that no sane human being should ever make in public.

  • Patrick: Sorry to be misleading people. I didn't draw this. It's just really fucking cute. I'll let you know when I draw something. :P

The intel was found to be fake, and the resurgent husky-panda cuteness overtook him in the end, leading to my decisive victory--until later when he had a better everything else in real life.

Damn.
