But before you go getting all excited and churning up the rumour mill, let&#8217;s put a bit of perspective on the situation.<\/p>\n<p>On second thought, why bother? Who needs perspective and logic and all those other things that take the life out of life (and the love out of love)?<\/p>\n<p>I have a confession to make: as a kid I used to adore those wonderful old classic <a href=\"http:\/\/looneytunes.warnerbros.co.uk\/web\/homepage\/homepage.jsp\" target=\"_blank\">Looney Tunes<\/a> cartoons. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elmer_Fudd\" target=\"_blank\">Elmer<\/a>, Bugs, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Porky_Pig\" target=\"_blank\">Porky<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daffy_Duck\" target=\"_blank\">Daffy<\/a> (<em>are you thaying I have a thpeech impediment???<\/em>)&#8230; I wanted to live in those cartoons. In fact, I still do! And judging by the above photo, you&#8217;re no doubt assuming I got my wish.<\/p>\n<p>Me and Bugs, walking off into the sunset together. Oh, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/group.php?gid=68292282108&amp;ref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Teddy<\/a>, of course! I won&#8217;t go anywhere without my beloved little bear by my side. You&#8217;d have to pass muster with him before you get anywhere near me!<\/p>\n<p>As for meeting screwy rabbits&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I use <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mitziszereto\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore I can only blame Twitter for landing me in the furry arms of a lascivious rabbit the other evening. Yes, I said lascivious! Bad enough he shed all over my black top. People were plucking his fur out of my hair all night long. It was as if I&#8217;d suddenly gone white, like what you hear happens when someone&#8217;s experienced a traumatic shock. Hmm&#8230; perhaps that wasn&#8217;t too far off the mark.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I&#8217;d innocently headed out to London&#8217;s famous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carnaby.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Carnaby Street<\/a> for an evening of networking with other like-minded Tweeters, only to end up fending off the amorous attentions of a Tweeting bunny. All I can say is, he might have been hearing &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PjgEeKoZ3FQ\" target=\"_blank\">Some Enchanted Evening<\/a>&#8221; playing in his big white floppy ears, but I sure as hell wasn&#8217;t. The truth is, I never really fancied hairy guys, especially sweaty ones. As for a sweaty hairy rabbit&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;It just wasn&#8217;t going to happen. Besides which, he was too tall!<\/p>\n<p>I guess this is what I get for being a social media maven. I&#8217;m terrified to think what might happen if I ever went to a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Mitzi-Szereto\/24537936152\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> event. Aside from being the officially recognised Queen of <a href=\"http:\/\/en-gb.facebook.com\/mitzi.szereto\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> (and <a href=\"http:\/\/scobleizer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Scoble<\/a> thought he was popular? &#8211; no one even knew who he was till I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mitziszereto\/3695077625\/\" target=\"_blank\">friended him<\/a> on Facebook!), I have enough trouble with <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mark_Zuckerberg\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> as it is. The Silicon Valley boss man of Facebook simply refuses to let go. There&#8217;s something terribly heartrending about seeing a man cry &#8211; especially when you&#8217;re the cause of it. I tried to let him down gently, I really did. I mean, could I help it if Teddy didn&#8217;t take to him?<\/p>\n<p>As for my floppy-earred suitor, I have serious doubts about it going anywhere. He just came on too strong for my liking.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Bugs Bunny would not have behaved in such an ungentlemanly fashion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4066\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4066\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mitziszereto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/me-and-bunny-3.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4066 \" title=\"Mitzi Szereto\" src=\"http:\/\/mitziszereto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/me-and-bunny-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Molested by Bunny\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mitziszereto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/me-and-bunny-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mitziszereto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/10\/me-and-bunny-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4066\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mitzi Szereto molested by bunny<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know what you&#8217;re thinking: that Mitzi, you just never know what she&#8217;ll get up to next.
