Dear lonely isle,
- To everyone who knows me, it's quite obvious I'm terrified of butterflies and moths.
- Yes, it's true.
- Despite popular belief, they are not pretty.
- Pretty disgusting maybe.
- Just looking at one can make me cry.
- Heck, my nightmares are ALWAYS about butterflies and moths, all over me.
- It was horrible.
- Someone suggested that I be Mothgirl or Butterflywoman.
- Sorry, but it ain't coming true.
- One, unlike bat ears, antennae aren't very cool.
- I'll look more like the PlayGirl bunny thingy and that's not very scary. Good for laughs though. (talk about tickling criminals to death...)
- And no butterflies, not even for Halloween.
- Second, if I were Butterflywoman, I suppose blue and green kinda shows up the dark. (There goes the disappearing into/emerging from shadows thing.)
- But don't butterflies come out in the day? (NUUUUUUUU. Imagine going about in the morning when everyone can see you, in a butterfly suit...)
- Mothgirl is more practical, if I'm comtemplating scouring the forest for thieves and thugs.
- And butterfly and moth wings aren't very good for gliding (unless I take after a Rajah Brooke), so I'll probably have to flap very hard...
- My superpowers will include making you itch with powder from my wings (if I don't itch first...).
- Also, I can err...deceive you with the designs on my wings. (I'll look like two giant eyes?)
- When threatened, I turn into a cocoon (hmm, you and what string?).
- My sidekick?
- Anyone interested to be Caterpillargirl/boy?
- Or Pupahuman?
- Hmm...enter the Silk Mobile!
- Green, moving, inpenetrable, indestructable tank that you can metamorphorsize in (it might come in handy..).
- And my base operations is.....the Cocoon?
- Point is, this is all an absurdity.
- Not only will it NOT cure my fear, it will probably make me fear to look in the mirror (A life-sized butterfly?? That's gotta be worse than the tiny, insect-sized ones.)
- Really.
- To the person who came up with this suggestion, feel ashamed for lack of creativity.
Butterflies?
Spare me.
love, joyce.
