yeah, that's cute

'cute' as an adjective is way over-used. it ranks up there with words like "nice", "cool" and "love"
it's a sure but subtle marker that we've all slipped into linguistic laziness.

recently a friend said that i was the second cutest asian girl he knows. i didn't know how to take it because i had the sneaking suspicious feeling that it was in the category of syrupy sweet shy females.
i hold nothing against him or anything, but i do wonder
