At least Beetle has had his 15 minutes of fame.

Poor Beetle.

Oh, I'm certain you'll see him again. He's crafty!

*hugs* Love this one. Have you considered a wee tiny bug-sized ball gag for the little $hit? ;3

ah the inner self-critic of us all... an how we all feel about them :)

Hmmm, so your self-critic's a beetle? That's interesting. Mine's a little gremlin named Bob, he never shuts up either...

He's a little voice that scuttles around in the dark places inside of me. He gives me that creepy crawly feeling when he's at it, so I started calling him Beetle. I used to think he was a little goblin like thing, but he kind of turned into the name I gave him. :)

*nods* I also like the end dialog, very nice.
