speaking of turtles....

I saved-ed-ed one today!! i was coming home on the bus, and a couple hundred feet from my house i saw a turtle almost in the street! so as soon as i got off the bus, i dropped my bag and started sprinting to where i saw the turtle from the bus. i got there in time, so i am officially faster than the average turtle! (*silly grin coupled with overly-done anime-victory pose*) turns out, it was not a little turtle. or, for any intents and purposes, a happy turtle. it was also a snapping turtle. so, confronted with an angry snapping turtle that was a little less than a foot long and about six inches wide, i tried to nudge it out of the way with my converse-clad foot. it promptly sank its demonic turtle jaws into the rubber of my shoe. or tried to, at least. i got my foot out of the way and kicked it over, into the grass beside the road. and after it righted itself, the thing came after me! i thought turtles were supposed to be nice! anyway, the turtle, which i named Alfie (short for Alfred) and i basically had a standoff after that. it just sat there and stared at me, and i stood about three or four feet away and stared back. finally, someone from the township came and parked in the parking lot on the other side of the road, after waiting for a sufficient lapse in traffic, he got a shovel out of the back of his pickup truck and came over. after a few minutes of the turtle attacking the shovel and the guy alternately, he scooped it back up and took the satanic reptile away, saying that he'd put it in a nearby creek.

and THAT was my adventure today.
