*takes a deep breath*
Well then, dear forum readers.
Here I am again to tell you a story (unfortunately). I would like to add a simple disclaimer stating that this time it wasn't my fault. Really :(
Ok, to the story.
You remember the girl from work right? The one I spilled coffee on?
Well, yesterday I called her up to see if she wanted to grab some air and go for a walk. There is a nice park, fairly close to where I live so I asked if she would meet me there.
She said ok.
Strolling down to the park I noticed the glorious weather, the birds singing, and other people in a generally good mood.
Well at the park, we met up and I asked if she wanted an ice cream. Surely she did and I therefore strafed over to the ice cream vendor.
"Two of those please", I stated (rather happy with my upcoming purchase at this time).
As we were walking and consuming the ice cream we talked about various things. Here you, dear reader, should note that we are by the water, in Stockholm we have a lot of water surrounding it. Therefore, this park was also by the water.
Right about when we had finished our ice creams, she exclaims "Look, there's a guy selling bird treats".
Smooth as I am, I immediately get the hint and once more strafe over to do a purchase.
With the bird treats (mostly bread and some seeds I believe) neatly divided between us, we headed closer to the water where there were some swans idling.
By this time, I was rather happy... I mean is this romantic or what. Feeding the birds (me = nice to animals), the sun is shining etc etc.
We both stretched our hand out with some treats and would you know, some swans started to walk to us.
Now, swans are pretty big birds. When they are in the water the don't look that big... but when they are up on dry land, walking, then they are pretty big creatures.
For some reason I got only 1 swan and she got like 2 or 3 swans immediately.
Well... would you actually blame them? I mean you are a swan right and you see this pretty girl and then... well me... so it would be quite obvious where you go first.
However, this preference among the swans had one catch. Now all her treats were finished and I still had left. So naturally, I quickly had all the 3-4 swans rallied up to my hand.
The first swan, which bravely visited me immediately in the beginning, was starting to look kinda full, so I gently moved my hand to the right, to accomodate the newly arrived swans.
Apparently, this was a mistake. The first swan now looked less than pleased if we say so... the swan went like o_O, I thought "wtf" and went o_O back.
Problem is, now the swan morphed into the bat swan from HELL!! (reference to ezzas avatar would be in order here).
The bat.. err excuse me.. swan grabbed my index finger with his beek to like "eyij, get back over here you". However, this was not a gentle manouver.
The swan more or less embedded his beek into my finger. Now, swans doesn't have teeths as we are used to, they have like a jigsaw bone \/\/\/\/ or something. It doesn't perforate the skin, but it sure gives a firm grip. Especially since swans are pretty strong.
So... this swan is getting more and more wound up and by now the other swans are getting excited as well. They might have though the first swan was getting some uber food, hence it's excitement.
Needless to say, I now have 3-4 swans quacking (or what the heck they do) and battering with their wings around me. All obviously try to get a grab of my finger, which the first swan prompty keeps a hold of.
Now what? I don't want to strangle the bird, so I thought maybe if I can get the bird's head under water it will release.
Now imagine me, with 3-4 swans quacking and making one hell of a noise around me, trying to get to the water. I think one swan was more or less in my hair at one point.
Finally (it seemed like an eternity) I reach the water and the swan suddenly released my finger, even before my attempt to get him under water.
If you would think the swan was angry before... well... it was now also "wtf you try to drown me? o_O". What I had to do now is run out of the water with 3 swans after me. Lucky me, they gave up after about 20 metres.
However, I believe the whole park had died from laughter by now anyway...
So I stand there, half my pants all wet. My shoes completely drenched and my hair look like a coocoo's nest.
Great.

It was all fun however, and as I've said before I don't mind making people laugh at my expense... it just seems it all happens to me o_O
