My close encounter with wildlife
Well, my morning got off to an interesting start! I start work early (6:45am) and I'm the first one in the office. So there are no other cars in the lot where my office is located, which is on the opposite side of the building from everyone else. In other words, it's kinda lonely down at this end.
Anyway, we've got this flock of Canadian geese hanging around our end of the parking lot. One of them has made a nest there and we all see her out there every day. Well, when I pull into the parking lot this morning, the geese are in an uproar for some reason. Squawking and honking and a couple of them flew away to land on the building next to mine. I'm like, "what's with these guys this morning?" as I start to swing into my parking space.
And then I freeze. From around the back corner of my building comes a coyote, trotting as big as you please, like he owned the place. My mouth just hung open as he ignored the geese and trotted right past my car. All I could do was watch as this fairly large animal made his way across the whole parking lot and into the forest preserve which borders us on two sides.
This is actually the second time I've seen a coyote in our parking lot, but the first time it was a long ways off, not up close and personal! I kept thinking that if I'd have been about 45 seconds earlier, I'd have been caught between my car and the door to the building when it came around the corner. Yikes! Thanks heavens for some traffic getting in this morning. :-)
So yeah, there's my exciting wildlife encounter! LOL!

Psst. You remember Fangoria Remix (http://spikess.livejournal.com/187880.html)? I'm working on the sequel, and I've got a guest spot reserved for you in the fic if you want it ^_~ All I need is to know how you want to be described.

It was kinda scary but neat at the same time!
You're doing a sequel to Fangoria Remix?? No way! Geez, that story was priceless. :-)

You want me in it?? Wow, thanks! Totally cool! Geez, describe me? Hmm...slim, blonde, hyper-active, glasses-wearing fangirl with a huge crush on Jensen/Dean. :-) How's that? Hee!

A lot of the great things in life are like that ^_~

Aww, thanks ^_^ The sequel will be a quick look at the wacky things that happen over the rest of the convention, which is basically Jared trying to convince people that it's really him and Jensen convincing people that he's an Ackles-look-a-like. But I've got some nifty moments in it, mostly comprised of stuff that has really happened at conventions I've been to, so I think it'll be as good as the first one. ^_^
How's that? Hee!
That works! *snickers evilly* I think you'll like your part... of course, I'm not telling you a thing about it ^_~ Will let you know as soon as it's posted.

ROTFL! Oh, that's awesome!

Ah, no fair teasing! :-) Geez, I can't wait to read this. Please do let me know when it's posted!

Hopefully the fic will turn out as good on paper as it is in my head.
Of course I'll let you know when it's posted! It'll probably take a few more weeks - work is hectic and my muses have been giving me the most cracktastic plotbunnies.

No problem. :-) Can't wait to read it!
