Earthquake!
Tonight while brewing beer I experienced my very first earthquake. Seeing that I've loved Earth Sciences my whole life and nearly majored in Geology/Environmental Studies in college, earthquakes have been something I've read about and studied for years. I regularly check the USGS Earthquake Hazard Program website (it's bookmarked and everything), big dork that I am.
The earthquake was a 5.2 and centered just about twenty miles from me.
Honestly, I feel like I popped my cherry. :-X I mean, I was scared shitless as it was occuring since I had no frame of reference for what was happening (I thought a furnace was blowing up or something and bolted outside), but it was definitely an adreneline producing experience. It was nearly three hours ago and I'm still pretty pumped from it.
