Those noisy birds!

Okay, I was at home this evening, and as I'll sometimes do, I threw an rpg into the computer and was wandering around a town as the famous swordsman Sarbonn the Little. Anyway, I wasn't really intently playing, so I was kind of away from my computer for a bit taking care of some paperwork when I started hearing birds on my roof making serious noise. I've never heard them like this before. There is a huge tree right above my roof, so I figured they were up there. I stepped out of my building and tried to shine a light on the roof, at the bushes, but I couldn't see anything. But they were making a lot of noise. I mean, a lot.

So I went back into my apartment and took a stick that is the end of a broom, and I started hitting the ceiling, trying to see if I could get the birds to just shut up. I realized there was no way in the world I was going to be able to sleep with this racket.

My next door neighbor came out of his apartment and was kind of staring at me, as I guess I was kind of a crazy man with a stick chasing after invisible birds. So I went back into my apartment and decided I was going to have to live with the noisy birds.

Then I decided I was no longer in the mood to play the computer game, so I saved my character and turned off the game. Then the birds went silent. Dead silent.

I then realized the birds weren't on my roof. They were in the game.

So, I put my stick away slowly and then decided to read a book. A quiet one.
