there was an earthquake this morning, at 12:22am, measuring a mere 3.6. it jolted me out of sleep, i hate that! :( i couldn’t fall back to sleep which is the worst. and my annoying neighbor downstairs had his stereo on just a tiny bit too loud, but somehow i drowned it out and finally fell asleep. it’s really weird, but i can’t remember what it was like during the loma prieta quake back in 1989, which measured something like 7.1 on the richter. all i remember is that it felt like the shaking would never stop. my coworker and i were talking about how californians are such wimps when it comes to severe weather, like our recent rain storms, but when it comes to earthquakes, we act like it’s just a part of our daily routine. probably cuz we know what to do when there’s an earthquake, but we have no clue what to do during a freak rain storm! heh, stupid californians…

it’s christmas eve and I’m stuck at work…bummer. looks like it’s gonna be a very quiet day.
