what is the deal?


I don't know what it is about North London, mainly UWO area, that has been plagued by skunks lately. I have had four run-ins with these disgusting animals, and am wondering when their population quadrupled in the Western area!
These are my run-ins:
1) O-week: this was my first one so I calmly crossed the road and continued walking (I saw a racoon three blocks later)
2) Stoned out of my tree the following week: I heard a rustle, stopped, looked to my right and five feet away was the ugly animal moseying along...trippy...
3) Walking in our "subdivision" after work: again, walking along like normal and hearing a rustle...realising what it was and dashing across the road
4) Finally, tonight, with Jenn: rooting through her neighbour's garbage and this one was at least the size of a back pack

My ultimate fear is being sprayed by a skunk which would result in my withdrawal from school... yes, I am that vain that I would pull myself from all social aspects in my life until the smell was gone. Vanity, it's a terrible thing.

hahahahaha! omg, "the size of a backback".. a large backpack? like, a small suitcase? that's pretty threatening.

skunks are like bees. don't bother them, they won't bother you.. no?

the ultimate question is though, would you rather get sprayed by a skunk, or bitten by thousands of mosquitoes (allll at once)? cos, in my opinion, skunks don't make you insanely itchy and irritated.. and the spray just kinda smells like really strong erasers...

hm. thoughts to ponder.
