That was probably the worst walk I’ve ever had in my life.

First, I went over to the Hive to catch up on a few things, but every time I ran into somebody, they’d either pass out or run away screaming. Some of the more rude bees in the Hive actually started making snide comments about the way I look. Those guys kinda backed me into a corner and either just stared at me or somewhere along the line decided that asking a bunch of really rude questions would bee a good idea, which it wasn’t. Then they’d give me a hard time if I didn’t have the answer they wanted which, if you ask me, was highly rude. (How was I to know that the Feast of Anaphylaxis wasn’t for another month? Geeeeeeze.)

I finally couldn’t take it anymore and had to yell at them, “I AM not an ANIMAL! I AM a BEE!”

Then I kinda drooled a little bit, which was embarrassing. (I’m still trying to get used to my larger mouthparts.)

It was all highly uncomfortable, and I’m highly glad they let me leave.

I just don’t think I can live like this, ya’ know? But when my Acting Coach, Bee Strausbergh, saw me, he said, “With more stage-visible features such as you now possess, you are certain to succeed. It is often the case that a Swollen Head often accompanies Fame, but such is our destiny, such is our lot in life.”

Then he started buzzing on and on about my Expanded Features will make it easier to bee seen by the camera - and on stage (when, he tells me, I hafta bee a part of the Amalgamated Paper Spoons Road Troupe and act the M.C. for the planned, travelling Paper Spoon Sales and Marketing Tour … they never told me about that one.)

Ya’ know what? I don’t care what he says. I don’t wanna bee famous anymore, I don’t wanna bee around those Toxic Paper Spoons anymore (especially now, since the Biohazard Suit won’t fit over my head anymore), I don’t wanna bee seen on camera - or on stage - and for sure I don’t wanna look like this for the rest of my life. And that’s that.

Anyway, I just found out that the famous Professor Gregorio Rawlingsford Bilderschlutten III - inventor of the Amalgamated Paper Spoon, the Often Sought-After Andromeda Stick, and it’s rumoured, responsible for developing a Cutting-Edge Plastic Surgical Reversal Protocol is visiting the Hive. He’s only gonna bee around for about the next week, so I need to see if I can make an appointment with him to discuss my dilemma.

So I’m gonna go do that.

I hope everybody has the most tremendously best day ever!

I’ll see ya’ later.
