Animal Wednesday: Make. Believe

Hello! It's me, Emily. Did anyone miss me? I have been traveling and having fun. I have gotten in some trouble but not enough that anyone squealed on me or made me cry so all in all I would say I am fine, except I did run out of money for a short time until kj left her wallet on the coffee table.

.

I told kj that I am going to write about make believe this-and-that today and she said, "Oh, that's a mish-mash." I don't think rabbits use that term very much but if you know what it is then that is what I am doing now.

.

Here is my first make believe mish-mash:

kj's blog and blogland lane friend Pattee MADE this witch and kj bought it for JB. Her name is Gilda the Witch and she is in a little frame that is going to hang in the kitchen for Halloween. What do you think of the expression on her face? At first she scared me but really I think if she was not stuck in wax she would be fun at a party. Maybe she will turn out to be fun at a party even though she is stuck in wax. That's where the make-believe comes in. First you make, and then you believe.

I went to Provincetown with kj, Lololo, and Debra Kay (more on that later) and they saw this women in a restaurant and Lololo told kj to take a picture of her for their friend Soulbrush. It will be nice if Soulbrush likes this and it makes her happy, but personally I would be very very scared if I had to be alone with who ever this is. Something about her body doesn't look right and those two big circles and little circles don't look right either.
. Speaking of Provincetown, here I am with Mim, who was supposed to come but she didn't because she couldn't so kj, lololo and Debra Kay carried her around anyway and they couldn't stop laughing about it no matter where they went. They laughed just about all the time about it for three straight days. By the way, can you tell how messy kj is sometimes from this picture, because everything around Mim and me is not very neat, right?
.
Oh, and here I am again with Mim in front of a house that Debra Kay painted for lololo. One day for an hour Mim came with me to meet Gregory Squirrel but I have to tell you she was way too prissy to have fun with. She kept complaining that she could not climb a tree in her dress and I said to her, "Mim, I'm a rabbit and I'm not even supposed to climb trees but life is short so why do you care?" but she just said hmmpfff! and played with her hair instead. To be fair, I heard that Mim was more fun when she had a few drinks so that counts for something good, right?
. The place in Provincetown was beautiful. Even I appreciated that.

I met Muck, Truck, and Fuck Duck on this beach every morning and we bobbed and bobbed and once I sat on Truck Duck's back and he waddled too. I told kj I was at the library most of the time when I was actually playing with my friends and staying out late. One time kj asked me what time the library closed and I knew it wasn't eleven o'clock at night so then I told her Gregory Squirrel's mother had invited me for acorn stew and chestnut pie and I'm not sure she believed me but I told her squirrels do not have phones so kj did not check my story but I made sure I was home right at 11 so it wouldn't blow my cover for the next day. I am very smart like that.

Before my trip to Provincetown I went to Cleveland with my mother and Uncle Bunny. I have not shown anyone a picture of my mother before but here she is and you can tell that she is a good mother just by the way she looks, right? This was taken before she married and multiplied with my father. My mother tries to be strict with me because I am only 8 or 11 years old but I tell her I need to help JB and kj because JB is sick and sometimes I beg JB to call my mother so I can miss school and go on trips with her and kj. Sometimes JB will do it but alot of times she won't so I have to be more creative with Make and Believe.

.
My Uncle Bunny, you should remember him because he was a friend of Janis Joplin's,

is starting a rabbit pellet home heating business and that's why we were in Cleveland, which, by the way, was kind of boring, no offense to anyone reading this who lives in Cleveland. Can you tell Uncle Bunny is smart? I think this picture of him says so.

.

I was very bored in Cleveland but I met two nice friends in Provincetown. Lololo, Debra Kay and kj spent 14 hours a day together for just about four four or five straight days and they laughed their as**s' off the whole time. (I am not allowed to swear on kj's blog except to mention Fuck Duck because that is his name. ) I was off doing my own thing most of the time but I like Lololo and Debra Kay a lot because I could tell they liked me and I don't think they would have gotten me in trouble even if they could have. Besides they are very nice friends to kj and I heard kj say that she thinks they would wash her back, whatever the heck that means. kj told me she said 'watch her back' but I know she said 'wash'.

.

Have you noticed yet that this week I am saying and doing what ever I want and I am calling it make believe? I do that most of the time anyway, but if you like any of it, you should do what ever you want and call it make believe too. Because you should decide to have fun and not worry about anything except a few things.

.

That reminds me about kj's poems. Lately and for a while they are either sad or serious because kj says her heart got cracked open, which to me sounds terrible but kj says she hopes it will be a good thing for her sooner or later. But anyway since I know some of the sorry details I would not be as nice as kj has been for even a minute. So I wrote my own poem about it and I think kj should follow my example instead.

A Poem by Emily V. V. Rabbit

.

So long good bye

You made kj cry

You were very mean

you lima bean!

You called kj names

and gave her the blame

You phony friend'

The End.

.

I hope that everyone is happy to see me back on kj's blog. I am going to ask kj to pay me $ 15 this week because this took a long time to write. Meanwhile, don't forget what I am trying to tell you.

.

MAKE. and then BELIEVE.

.

Try it. I know I'm right that you will feel better following my advice but of course if it doesn't work for you it's not my fault.

.

Yours Truly,

Emily Rabbit
