The other night I woke up in the middle of the night after having some nightmare about body snatchers or something. I got up for some water and realized that the power went out on our block. I decided it might be good idea to unplug a few things since the last time this happened, the surge of the power coming back on blew out my xbox's power cord. Anyways, I’m stumbling around in the darkness, feeling unusually anxious about the whole thing when I realize I’m still not over the nightmare and I’m half expecting body-snatchers hiding in the darkness to come out and attack me. I’d have used a flashlight, but I didn’t know where it was… Which leads into last night.
Earthquake. Don’t know where my flashlight is. The quake just barely woke me up, but I do remember thinking, ‘I don’t know where my flashlight is’.
Do you? Do you have an earthquake ‘survival’ kit? I’ve had a list printed out of the things I need buy… for like 3 years now, but I never go buy them. It’s only like $25 worth of stuff, but still I keep putting it off. Good idea? Bad idea? Am I just feeding into hype, or do you think the big one will DESTROY us?
