So...I know it's late. But now that my computer is in the basement, there's a big set of french doors behind me. I have to say, I'm not too weirded out by the idea of people being able to see me from outside, but every once in awhile I get the urge to turn around and make sure no one is standing like, RIGHT THERE. (Don't worry, this isn't a creepy stalker story.)
So all evening, I've been hearing funny noises in our backyard. We have a lot of wildlife here though, so I've learned to kind of tune it out. I actually like having all the animals around. Except the coyotes. And if I ever see a bear, I'll probably pee my pants and cry like a baby.
But tonight I was just finishing up Frogs on Hulu (which is a movie about various flora & fauna ganging up on a family and killing them), when I heard a sort of...knock, I guess, at the door behind me. What did I see when I turned around? A big fat raccoon with its face pressed right up against the glass, staring at me. Or the movie. Either way, it seemed a little too interested, and a little too unafraid. As soon as I moved to grab my camera it turned and walked away, but I have no idea how long it was there before I saw it. Hopefully it didn't get any ideas from the movie. :/

I adore this story!! Creepy racoon...I wonder if he was trying to hear your thoughts like the crazy killer bears in your nighmare!!?? =)
That's what I'm thinking.
A few days later, I had a nightmare that a large, oddly round raccoon, roughly the size of a small bear, was clawing at the basement doors trying to get into the house. When I woke up the next morning I announced to Brett that I am now scared of raccoons as well as bears.
