The birds! The birds!!

I like to consider myself fairly easy going. I don't get worked up over much, only the things that are near and dear to me.

But there's one thing that causes me a lot of anxiety.

Birds.

I know, it seems silly, but I promise you that they are out for me. The purposely dive bomb my car in an attempt to run me off the road, give me a stroke, hit me in the face with their beaks, or just generally freak me out.

It all started about 2 and a half months ago. I started noticing that birds were not getting out of the road when I approached, and they seemed to fly out in front of my car a lot.

And then, it happened.

It was a bright sunny morning and Lindsey and I were taking a little drive up to Hamilton in the middle of May, and as usual a bird flew out in front of me. Except this time, the bird stalled in the middle of the road and *SMACK* into my windshield!!! After a slightly major freak out, I began to wonder about the bird I hit. I had this sneaking suspicion that the thing was hanging on to my car, just waiting to attack me. Luckily it was back in the vicinity of where it hit my car, probably just chillin' like a dead bird. hehehe.

Anyway, Erin was lucky enough on Saturday to experience the treachery that is my life. This bird totally came after my car and she witnessed first hand how they have it out for me.

So, this is to tell you that I have a rational fear of birds and they give me mild anxiety. It's nice to meet you to. :)
