I embrace my weirdness


So I'm scared of birds dive bombing my car while I drive.  


There I said it...  it's out there in cyber space.  I have this issue with birds trying to hit my car.  Amanda can vouch for this.  In college there were several occasions where birds came really close.  Once there was a giant like crane or something that came super close on the freeway and it scared the crap out of me!  So yeah- it's weird but yeah I'm not a fan of birds while I'm driving...  I've never seen the movie birds but I'm sure it wouldn't help!


But today I was driving on a two lane road and a suburban was coming towards me like 1/2 mile away.  A poor bird swooped out of a tree and smacked into the windshield of the suburban and bounced like 15 feet into the air and was obviously already dead as it fell to the ground a few dozen feet in front of us.  Luckily none of my kids noticed.  But yeah= that so didn't help my fear of birds hitting my car...  EW! ew ew ew ew!!!

I know what you mean! I don't have the phobia, but I do tense up every time they fly in the front of my car. I mean, it's like they have a death wish, or maybe they are just playing chicken. I don't know, but I do know that we need to watch, the birds, for a girls night! It is totally scary!

Oh man Cole!!! Thank you for the laugh. I just re-lived one of your better bird moments... I think it was the one on the freeway on the way to Vegas that you mentioned. I laughed my self silly just now. WHOA!!! hahahahah!!!

Really though, that is sad about the bird. I'm always affraid I'll kill one too. Glad none of the kiddies saw.
