being followed/hunted

[steampunk42]

OK internet i need your help. for some reason all day I've been being followed by a largish black bird (i cannot identify it). when i enter a building it just sits in the tree and as i walk around my college campus it just hops from tree to tree following me. i don't feed birds and I've never had a pet one that escaped. so can i hear any reasons for why this is happening, and just saying this, its not cause im crazy, i asked a bunch of random passerby also saw it. also as a speak it is sitting in a tree outside my apartment. this must be what going crazy feels like.

You've got worms in your hair. The bird wants them.

 

[DefunctTheory]

Two possibilities.

1. You are high, and hallucinating/being paranoid. Stop it.

2. You are damned. Sorry.

 

[Kortney]

It wants to have its way with you. Obviously.

...That's awesome!
Maybe you're like that kid from The Omen...didn't he have a blackbird follow him around?
Seriously though, do you smell like bread or have any food on you? Because then it might just want what you have...

 

[Mariner]

... yeah I think it is following you as the devil's messenger.
Just don't try to kill it or throw stuff at it.
Just ignore

 

[steampunk42]

A) im not high
B)if it was an evil spirit wouldn't only i see it?
and 3) i wash every day i don't smell like food!!!!

it is the raven, and your life is a poem by Edgar Allan Poe

and just to lift your spirits, a quote

"And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!"

 

[Sassafrass]

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door."

[sup]Ah, Wikiquotes. Is there nothing you can't do? [sup]For the record, I've never read "The Raven", I remember the quote from watching way too much Simpsons reruns. >>[/sup][/sup]

OT: Try going to another room. If it follows you and stares through the window at you then, I would proceed to freak the fuck out. And if it sits upon a bust, well...good bye.

Maybe you did something in it's presence and established yourself as an Alpha Male?

A crow, raven, or blackbird? A crow just symbolizes bad luck, a raven is death, and blackbird means that your crops will be eaten.

 

[Hisshiss]

Birds are assholes. Unless it attempts to maul you I recommend you let it slide and just be happy that something is interested enough in you to stalk.

im not a bird expert....whats the physical difference?

 

[steampunk42]

it doesent look through windows at me like when im in class, it just sits in a tree outside, waiting.

 

[smearyllama]

You must defeat the bird in close combat to master it.
When you master it, it will grow to 20x it's size and you may ride it like a mount.
Think badass chocobo.

like what?!?!?!

 

[witness51]

I'm being followed by a large black man! Any connections?

 

[Shade184]

Maybe it's a benvolent spirit or somethin'. Or a malevolent one.

It wants to have its way with you. Obviously.

Or this.

Whatever it is, just don't piss it off.
