in the last 3 days there has been three earthquakes. two on sunday and one today. that averages out to an earthquake a day and they are all centered in/near hawthorne.
dude. seriously.
every time one of them happens i feel like everything kicks into slow motion and i am sucked into a scene from a movie. like this earthquake is not really real and any moment now someone is going to turn off the quake machine and yell "cut!"
alas, this is not how it went down. i've got to say the first earthquake and last one are the ones that freaked me out the most. the first time i was standing in the middle of my room in the dark. i was looking for the remote to turn on the lights, but then i heard a loud bang and thought that someone ran into our garage. i thought it was going to explode!
thank goodness it didn't.
the second bigger one i was cooking and then all the glasses in the kitchen started to rumble along with the pots, pans, and any other utensils laying around. in my head i imagined the curry i was cooking flying off the stove and getting all over the place. that would have been very, VERY dangerous.
thank goodness it didn't.
earthquakes are not good for my paranoia. my mind plays out crazy scenarios and plays everything in slow motion when i'd rather it just get it over with.
i've always thought of natural occurrences as signs. figuring out what they signify is the hard part. these earthquakes have come to shake up the routine and rhythm of life that i have gotten accustomed to. its time to recenter myself and figure out and/or remember what's important.
also, let me just say i love my friends and family.
my phone service went MIA for a bit when the earthquake took place. once i got service back all of a sudden my phone is going cray cray because i had just received about 10 text messages and about 4 missed phone calls/voicemails all at once!
thank you, loves, for checking in after finding out that the quake had originated in hawthorne.
also, let me just say "Changeling" is too intense for me. It got me all kinds of riled up to the point where i just wanted to punch every bastard in the face! and then it made me wanna cry. goodness that movie is ridic, but i take from it the same thing i took from Milk :
hope.
