The Bunny Conspiracy

Yeah yeah, I know, I haven't written in a while. I think this is related to my main issue with socializing/chatting with new people; besides being a bit self-conscious, I just don't think my life is that interesting. Also, I'm beginning to realize that (possibly because of this uninteresting stigma) I have kinda crap memory. I'm trying to break myself of this negative thought process though, so allow me to tell you about today's most recent development in my life: The Bunny Conspiracy.

I had spent most of my morning and early afternoon inside today. The weather wasn't the greatest and I had things to get done. As I fiddled around on the interweb I got an e-mail from Jenna aiming to confirm what everyone was bringing for our planned July 4th BBQ. After a couple relays with Jenna I realized that I would be closing the next few nights at work and then a 7-3:30 shift on Friday, so perhaps I ought to get a head start on the shopping for this event today.

I scooped up the CDs I needed to return to the library and headed out in Vinnie (my car). As I took a left turn out on to the main drag that would get me to the library I noticed a little bunny munching away near a patch of wooded area just off the road. I thought, 'Now Mr. Bunny stay there munching and away from the cars'. As I was finishing that thought, from the other side of the street, one of Mr. Bunny's friends started to hop out JUST as I was driving past! I immediately took my foot of the pedal and subsequently SCREAMED for fear I had hit him! Yes. You read that right. Screamed. Then, still moving slowly forward I desperately scanned my rear view mirror with eyes beginning to well-up with tears! Then I pulled forward enough to finally see him...perfectly fine. Sitting there just off the curb, with one paw in the air and an ear cocked slightly as if to say, "The Hell?!" To which I replied (and yes, I said this out loud) "Thank you for being a smart bunny!" Big sigh of relief.

Now, with the drama over I went on my merry way to the library...where there was ANOTHER bunny! This one didn't try to go out in front of me, but I'm pretty sure he was watching me. He wasn't there when I left the library though. I continued on to Sam's Club to check my blood pressure (slightly above normal on the systolic - gee I wonder why) and scoped out pricing for hot dogs and such. I then ventured to Target for a few small necessities and returned home. THERE WAS A BUNNY OUTSIDE MY BUILDING! They're watching me.
