Mad Hatter's Diary

Hello Mercury! How have you been? Can you guess what day it is today? TEA PARTY DAY! The March hare was with me and we were drinking tea and eating biscuits when all of the sudden, or not as time doesn’t really matter, she showed up. A young girl with long golden hair all entwined and in dire need of cutting. Unlike the red queen would say not off with her head, but off of her head! I thought whether I should say it out loud or not, but my hat told me not to. No room! We three screamed. Oh yes! Three we were, the March hare myself and our favourite elbow rest, the doormouse. Did I ever tell you that she likes to eat the crumbs off the table when she wakes up? No no not the little girl you silly journal, the doormouse. Back to that rude little girl now, after this sip of tea. She... Sorry the March hare interrupted me what was I saying? Oh yes! More tea, no the girl! She rudely sat down next to me. I rapidly found out she was out of her element. Everything I said seemed like a riddle or nonsense to her. Then came the question that broke the best moment of our tea time: What day of the month are we? I asked kindly turning to the little girl and she answered, THE FOURTH! That hare used dirty butter instead of clean butter. What does he claim? He used the best butter, but it was still full of crumbs. I raged out at him, “You should’ve put it in with the bread-knife”.

That was interesting: she doesn’t seem to realize that everybody is either mad or becoming mad. She seems like a smart child, but then again she is just a child. How can a child understand everything that I have tried to show her? Alice was her name, I wonder where she comes from, and maybe she is the one that can finally change everything around here. I think I will follow her and see if she is as smart as she looks; she is heading for the March Hare’s place. Over at the Hare’s place, she will not be welcomed, that I know for a fact, but I think that she will be able to figure out some of what those crazy fools will have to say. Alice is heading in the right direction, I am going to have some fun with her and scare her a little. Since I am invisible she will not be able to know that it is me: it is the perfect plan. Oh wait, I am not invisible, I should change that, and there we go. I sure hope that the Hare and the Hatter will have tea this time, since it’s always tea time. I need to hurry to get there before her to see her reaction to the great “welcoming nature” of the Hare and the Hatter. I should ask him for a hat, I wonder if a hat would fit me at all, maybe he could give me some advice.
