freaking birds ...

Have I ever told you that I am scared of birds?

No?!?!?

Well ... scared does not really describe my feeling towards birds.  Terrified might be a better word for it.

While standing at the bus stop today, a freaking bird flew right past me.  I was certain it was coming to get me (or so it seemed at that exact moment).  So ... I ducked ... screamed ... nearly fell to the ground ... while waving my arms frantically in the air. 

Yeah.  Not exactly the proudest moment of my life.
