earthquaaaaaake!! :D
We had an earthquake last night about half an hour past midnight, which measured 3.8 on the Richter scale. It was nothing scary, nothing shocking, just a shake which we all felt and that was it.
Am I weird to think it was awesome? O_o
Because according to my mother I am a terrible human being who laughs at the tragedy of others (because somewhere in the world someone died as an effect of this earthquake -or maybe not, it doesn't matter much-) and so my glee at the earth barely shaking for like 3 seconds is considered completely rude and inhumane.
Uh-huuuuh. Ok.
I mean granted, I keep having these thoughts all the time that right now when I'm typing this entry, or when I hit the update button, or when people read this on their friends' pages or otherwise, a person somewhere on earth is dying. Probably more than one too. What am I supposed to do about that, feel terrible and stop enjoying every minute of my life? Isn't that unfair?
On the other hand, someone is being born right now. Should I be delighted every second of the day because a baby is being born? In essence, we're all little and insignificant and there are a bunch of events happening right now which could-should-would affect our lives and feelings - does that make us terrible people? O_o
I don't know. There's something for y'all to think about.
I'm fine, everyone's fine, it was so small that I can't even find an international news citation to prove it even happened, all I found was greek blog posts (much like this one). And I feel so retched for even thinking it was cool, but that was my first reaction.
Ugh, bollocks. :P
