i'd like to call everyone's attention to the photo of the culprit. on or about 13h30 EST on june 21st, someone matching this photo did willfully and without regard for the fact that i was lost in my own world, as is my wont, fly into my hair, his claws becoming momentarily entangled therein and frightening me enough that i made an awkward and very silly squawking noise. if seen, this suspect should be approached with caution. it is suspected that his eyesight isn't too good, since i really don't look very much like a tree.
