I went with some friends to another friend's place for lunch, since she had moved recently and my friends hadn't seen the new place yet. It was pretty nice; we ate sandwichs and admired the way she had decorated (it was definitely a girl's apartment! ^_~). After eating, I decided I'd follow my friend (whose place we had visited) to her workplace and drop by and say hi to another friend who worked there. As we were waiting for a light at Front and John, I felt something and heard a big dripping/plopping sound. A big spatter of bird poop appeared in front of us!
It was kind of freaky and I was worried that it had gotten me right in the head, so I bent my head down and asked my friend if it had gotten me. She said I was fine, so we crossed the street and continued on. I knew I had felt something, though, so I decided I'd take off my backpack to be sure that it hadn't gotten me. Lo and behold, there were some big splotches of bird droppings on my bag! I asked my friend to take a look, and there was also some on the back of my head (hair) and my back. (@_@) It was absolutely disgusting, but rather amusing too.
So we went straight to the bathroom at her workplace and she washed my hair for me in the sink and we cleaned off my bag and jacket as best as possible. Thank goodness my Roots scarf was totally untouched, or I would've been really upset. Anyway, after about half an hour we managed to get me cleaned up as much as was possible. My friend mentioned that in some cultures getting pooped on by a bird is considered good luck, so I figured I might as well test that theory by buying some lottery tickets.
I got both the 6/49 and Super 7, as well as a Bingo scratch card. I expected the double triangles, but I actually got two lines, which is $6, or twice what I paid. Not bad. Maybe there's something to it after all. Then again, maybe I shouldn't have gotten the scratch card since I probably used up all my luck for a measly $6. =Þ Just kidding, it's not like I actually believe this stuff!
Anyway, if you're wondering, the first thing I did when I got back to res was put my jacket and bag into the laundry. I actually brought two of my suitemates down with me, and they took pictures too, since it was the first time in TWO years in res that I've actually done laundry here. It was a good thing that I got them to come with me too, as I probably would've wasted quite a bit of time trying to figure out the machines since they're pay machines and therefore not quite the same as the type you'd have at home. Oh, and while my stuff was in the washing machine I took a nice long shower. So now I can relax and feel bird poop free again! ^_~
