Today, the most magical and magnificant and amazing and BEST thing happened to me. If you read the subject line, then <i>YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT WAS OOOOOOOOO</I>.

That's right. I got attacked. BY A SQUIRREL.

Now, I know you're saying, "Gosh, Liane, you are so cool." Or, you might be an a** and think, "Pansy." (XD @ YOU, Nick!!!!) So, since I know you're all dying to know the details... I shall give you them.

There I am, walking out of biology class, going to find Tyler so I can go home. I see a squirrel. No biggie. Squirrels are all over the Green River campus. Like usual, I make clucking noises at it and I quickly check to see if I have any left over cheerios from the morning (I didn't.). The squirrel moves toward me. Again, not so weird. My first day there, a squirrel stopped a couple feet away from me and looked at me a bit.

This one, though? Certainly didn't stop a couple feet from me. No, it kept on coming. No worries, still. Made a couple kissy noises. Then -- !!! ATTACK POUNCE ONTO LIANE'S LEG. YES, KIDS, YOU READ THAT RIGHT. THE SQUIRREL ATTACHED ITSELF TO MY <I>SHIN</I>. I could feel its little claws through my jeans. I SHRIEKED and shook it off my leg. Not hard, but enough so it jumped off and ran into some nearby bushes. I start cracking up, the sudden burst of adrenaline rushing through my veins.

Then, Tyler and I watered my plants, as I tell him this amazing story. We pass back by the battle scene and LO! A squirrel is there. In fact, there are two, but one was much more lively than the other--this was the attacker, I believe. I just so happened to have my digital camera with me today, since I brought it for journalism, so I whipped it out, intent on getting a shot to accompany my story.

But wait! THERE'S MORE!!!!

As I pull out my camera, Tyler laughs and points behind me. OMG THERE'S A SQUIRREL COMING RIGHT FOR ME s**t THEY'VE SURROUNDED ME RETREAT RETREAT!!! I shriek again, and hop back, so I can watch both of them. Sneaky little buggers. We end up tossing them nuts and pieces of Tyler's sandwich, while they chitter and bounce around. The attacker kept on hopping up to me, but I backed away each time. I am wary about these squirrel creatures now, I'lltellyouwhat. Tyler, though. He was BRAVE. Like a mighty man. I have pictures of him being brave. I would have been shrieking a lot.

Here's a shot of the bugger. This isn't zoomed in at all. That's how close he was.

See this picture? This why I think it's a "he"...

At first Tyler was like OMG FSCK GET OFF

Then he was like, OH you are not on my lap anymore that's okay.

See, he is brave as he smiles dumbly. X3


I think I'm going to write an expose in the next paper about these demonic creatures.
