Heh, clearly I slept through that one. I didn't realize it even WAS an earthquake until the guy across the hall said it, and I was like, "OHHHH so THAT'S why the building is shaking." Everything seems to be fine around here, though.
COME VISIT MEEEEE!!! Seriously, we have a guest room and everything. Do you like Steinbeck? We could visit all of Steinbeck's old haunts and the National Steinbeck Center. We could go to the aquarium, or we could go to Pebble Beach and watch rich people. Or we could go to San Francisco and visit my bff and her husband and ride in a cable car. Or we could drive for six to eight hours and go to Disneyland. Haven't you always wanted to go to Disneyland? Or we could drive five hours and visit Yosemite. It's really really prettyful. Or we could just stay at my house and watch Buffy and The Vampire Diaries.
You know, I had planned a trip to San Francisco a couple years ago, and I had to cancel it because I was moving and starting a new job right around then. BUT I STILL WANT TO GOOOOO!
Once I find out whether I am getting the promotion/raise I am hoping for (*fingers crossed*), I'm gonna start seriously planning a vacation. Expect me on your doorstep sometime this fall! lol
I was at camp, and got a text from Seamus saying they just had an earthquake. I thought it was weird. Then my dad called and said the house shook, and I was confused because I thought I missed it. Turns out it happened while we were outside with the kids- they were swimming in the river. Then I realized I did feel dizzy at one point and had a weird thought that it was like I could feel the Earth moving. I mentioned that later to the girl I work with who realized that she had felt dizzy too, but dismissed it like I did.
Ugh. I have the tv on and they had a little news teaser about the earthquake. Some guy just said it "reminded him of 9/11". Um, does not compare, guy.
The guy probably wasn't comparing the two, more like "when it happened, the first thing I thought of was 9/11." In fairness, terrorist attacks are more expected here than earthquakes, so I'm not surprised that most people's first reaction was "omg it's a bomb!"
