CREATION SATURDAY! Put on your creative thinking caps *Smile*

You're headed down to Imagination Station to pick up your imaginary friend.

Tell us about the friend - is it human? Humanoid? Animal? Talking banana? Three-headed monster who's afraid of heating blankets? What's their story? Likes/Dislikes? What name do they answer to? Why are they in your life?

Don't forget to tell us how your friend ended up at the station in the first place!


Oh gosh, it's 4:14 p.m. and I'm late. As usual. Poppy is going to be so dang mad. She's on my back ALL the time about being on time. "Why can't you just check your watch?" She says that to me A LOT. "Why can't you just leave a few minutes early?" Also something she says to me A LOT. "Apparently you don't value my time." You guessed it. Something she says to me A LOT.

All this makes me wonder. I'm usually on time everywhere I go. In fact, I'm never late. Anywhere. So...why with Poppy? Why the heck am I always late for Poppy?

Could it be that she stands 6 feet tall? An entire foot taller than me? Maybe that's intimidating.

Could it be that she tips the scale at 290 pounds? Quite the chubby thing. Takes an enormous amount of clothing to cover all 290 pounds. Of course I'm no lightweight. I weigh in at 50 pounds over my upper limit. So, no, that can't be it.

Could it be that she wears purple clothes and purple eye shadow and purple shoes and a large purple hat? Everything about that woman is purple. Talk about a walking grape. But...maybe she's just eccentric. Yeah, maybe that's it. Of course I'd certainly hate to see her dressed in chartreuse! Now that's something that could possibly make me vomit.

Could it be that her fingers are long knobby claws? There's nothing feminine or soft about her hands. And the fingernails? Well, those are quite long too. And fake. She can actually reach out from a foot away and touch me with one of those claws. Yikes! That's disturbing. But then again, I've known a lot of women that have plenty of fake stuff.

Could it be that she carries a big purple purse/bag/tote or whatever that hideous thing is called? Filled with all kinds of crazy stuff. Aspirin in case she has a headache. Rolaids in case she has a stomach ache. Kleenex in case she bursts into tears. A loose $20 bill in case...well just in case. A notebook in case she says something witty and needs to write it down. A stack of credit cards secured together with an ugly red rubber band. Exactly 4 pens. Two with ink and two without. A tube of mascara. Purple of course. A tube of lipstick. Purple of course. And a thousand bits of this and that. There's probably $100 worth of loose change in that thing she calls a bag. And by the way, it's large enough and heavy enough to actually do some damage in case she needs to defend herself from the bad guy. In fact, she weighs it every now and then to ensure it's hefty enough.

Could it be the saggy, baggy nylon stockings she insists on wearing? With her thick meaty thighs I can't see how any type of nylon stocking would sag...or bag...where does she even find nylon stockings these days?

Or...could it be that she's just plain mean and judgmental and aggressive and outspoken and doesn't fit her name at all? YES! This could be it! She's not a Poppy. She's more of a weird mutant venus fly trap. A big purple venus fly trap!

I'm pretty sure that's why I'm always late. I just don't want to be around her. In fact, I don't want anything to do with her.

So my mind is made up. She'll just have to wait. I'm turning around and I'm not showing up. Someone else can deal with that big purple fly trap!
