Pay no mind. It's just God's wrath against the Tea Party!

Holy shit! Well, why visit his/her/its wrath on NYC??? Though I guess it started in Virgina...

Alternately, it might be some Deity's advisory that we should all be having more sex

That was some craziness. I'm in the office on the 24th floor and our lights were swinging.

Word! I'm at home, and at first I thought the kid upstairs was just being unusually frolicsome -- for about a half second. Then I was all, WTF EARTH MOVING am I losing my mind? And then a couple of precarious books fell off the shelf, and I was all HOLY SHIT. Weird!

Watching the people boil out onto the street going, "OMG EARTHQUAKE" was pretty crazy too.

I think it's God's way of telling me to get my lazy arse out of bed.

But seriously that was a bit unreal. I didn't even realise it was an earthquake until my mum called.

Yeah, I called my parents, being all, DID YOU FEEL THAT???

Tell me that wasn't your first.

Biggest/longest one I've felt. Scary.

Also, my ex fucking pages me with, "was that an earthquake, because it sure wasn't an orgasm."

THE HELL?

It's my first that I didn't sleep through. There was an Ithaca one, but it was in the middle of the night. D. woke up, and I was all, "go back to sleep, idiot california boy, we don't have earthquakes here." Then I made fun of him the next day... and we found out there really was one. SADFACE.

This is the first one I actually felt. CRAAAAZY.
