I Am Babbit

pineapple_babbit's picture

I am Babbit.
What’s a Babbit?
Most say.
Well,
I’m a Babbit.
I’m short,
excitable,
And have a tendency to hop around
For no reason.
I like cute things,
Like bunnies,
And scientific things,
Like rabbits.
I am a mixture of everything,
So it’s fitting that my name,
What everyone will call me,
Is a mixture too.
Night and day have come together,
But in the for of bunnies and rabbits.
I am Babbit.

but
it's just
me.

yes, it is
i never used to do it, because I can be so insanely shy
but now it makes my day and sometimes even other peoples', which I find funny O__O

Yeah. Sometimes I'm shy, But

Yeah. Sometimes I'm shy, But most of the time, I am interesting... Like "talk like a pirate day". The librarians at my school give out tatoos and cheap plastic rings if you dress like a pirate... It's so worth it. ^_^ lol... But I do think people get a kick out of me sometimes.....

for this reason, i love clothes and jewelry. =D

Yeah! Another thing thats

Yeah! Another thing thats fun is just getting a joke like a couple of hours after you hear it and laugh out loud to it... I mean, its like a random present to figure it out later, especially if something went wrong between when you heard it and when you got it. ^_^
