so there was an earthquake this morning... and i didn't wake up during it. when ever there's an earthquake i always wake up and have some what of a panic attack and run under the door frame. it's my first instinct. it was taught to me in preschool and every year thereafter. southern california hs some of the most frequent earthquakes, yep we used to live on a fault line.
but the trauma is another story. i was 3 or 4 and there was a 7.something quake and i ran to my parents room. but to get out of my room i'd have to pass in front of my white dresser with huge drawers, the rollers from the drawers had always been loose [that's what you get when you badly assemble ikea furniture], so the drawers were rolled out and the whole thing hit me hard and almost fell on me. but the whole house started swaying the other way and so did the furniture. and since then i've been freaked out by earthquakes.
