My New Embarrassing Moment.

So we all have embarrassing moments, ones that we wonder why did I do that? Or, am I ever going to live this one down? Well, normally I wouldn't be sharing this with everyone, except for this has never happened to me before and I do have to admit, looking back it was freaking hilarious.
For those of you that don't know, I now take public transportation to school. Its actually really nice not having to drive everyday and I'm meeting interesting people on the bus. (Plus its saving Daryl a lot of money and we all know how he loves to save money.) Anyways, I have to take my car about a mile down the road to a church where the bus I need stops to pick me up. Let me just give you a picture of where I wait.
Its in a really nice neighborhood, on a very busy street. Of course, in Utah we live right up against the mountains, so those are directly behind the houses I wait by. There is a streetlight, not yet hooked up, right above the stop, but right now its still kind of light at six thirty in the morning when I'm waiting for my bus. Directly behind me is a house that sits up on a hill and this house has seven foot bushes right behind me. Its kind of their fence, but you can't see anything through it.
So this morning, I was doing my thing, waiting for the bus at my stop, thinking about all that I needed to get done today. When I noticed that the cars just about thirty feet down the road were coming to a quick stop. I saw a little movement out of the corner of my eye but assumed (remember what happens when we assume people), that it was just the joggers heading my way. So I went back to thinking about what I needed to do after school and all the upcoming assignments due. Then I happen to hear a noise, not a usual noise like a dog barking or a car, or a person. But I wasn't quite sure what the noise was, but I quickly found out.
Remember those seven foot bushes behind me. Well all of a sudden, something HUGE came bursting out of them. It took me a second to realize that it was a GIANT Deer, a male with GIANT Antlers to be more exact. Without thought, I screamed like a girl,(because I am one thank you very much), and ran as fast as I could. And if I'm not mistaken, I think the deer did the exact same thing, only he went in the opposite direction.
The whole time I'm running, (I've left my backpack behind, by the way), I'm thinking of a video I once saw on Animal Planet. I'm sure some of you have seen this before, where a man is getting attacked by a male deer. Yeah, I thought for sure that was going to be me. With every passing step I was waiting to get attacked from behind. So, picture if you will, as I'm sure you're already doing, this in slow motion. I'm sure I scared the deer as much if not more than he scared me. He wasn't expecting anyone on the other side of the bushes and for that matter, I wasn't expecting anyone to come through the bushes. I'm sure for a split second, a nano of a second, we stopped looked at each other and thought, HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!!!! Then we ran.
And remeber those joggers I was telling you about. Well they stopped to see if I was okay, but didn't ask until the laugher had subsided. The one said it was the funniest thing she'd ever seen and wished she had her video camera, because we would probably be winning America's Funniest Home Videos. Then she continued to laugh along with her companion. I was soooooooo embarrassed, but I'm glad I made someone's day. Then they went on the merry way, laughing of course and I climbed on the bus that had just pulled up. THANKFULLY no one on the bus had seen what happened to me.
I tell you what, I have been close to deer before, but never this close. You think scary movies are scary. OH NO!!! Why don't you go stand, in the half dark, in front of seven foot bushes, have a GIANT deer come through, scare you s*** less(excuse the language but I feel it is appropriate), and then you tell me what's scary!
Yeah, maybe I exaggerated a little bit about it being a GIANT deer, but he wasn't little. Because if it had been Bambi before adulthood, I may not have run.
I hope that I have given you all something to laugh about and I'm sure you are all rolling on the floor with laughter right now. YOUR WELCOME!!!!!!!!

He looked a lot scarier and bigger than this!
