☁ I woke up this afternoon... to an earthquake. No lie. It was a baby one, so everything's fine, it was just very strange. So basically, when I woke up, it was with that annoying alarm that your body gives off when it senses you're about to fall off from somewhere. I looked around, confused, then realized that my bed was swaying. Now... this actually happened to me the other day, so my first thought was "Ugh, not again, what the fuck?" I basically put both incidents down to "Ver is losing her mind, yay!" .....then my mom called and went "Did you feel that?" and I instantly felt better for not being totally crazy, and worse because then I really didn't know what the hell was going on. I guess it was a 5.9 that hit Washington D.C. that we felt up here (today, anyway, I don't know what the deal was with the other day.). I know some of you are probably like, "Pssh, that's so not a big deal." I live in upstate NY. This doesn't happen here. As a matter of fact, I don't recall anything like this happening ever. It's just. O_o Not to mention upsetting when you don't understand why your apartment is shaking, because you live in New York for god sakes and earthquakes don't even cross your mind as a possibility. Because they don't happen here. You just think you've totally lost it.
On the upside, I can officially say that I've survived an earthquake! :D
☁ 5 Reasons The Greatest Movie Villain Ever is a 'Good' Witch.' I promise you will never watch The Wizard of Oz the same way again. Unless, of course, you'd already thought of all that, in which case: exactly how twisted are you? XD Related: 6 Beloved Characters That Had Undiagnosed Mental Illnesses. (Glinda is #2, and it actually makes some really good points.) Also, as a note, Sherlock Holmes made it on the list with Asperger's, which was also interesting to read, even if Asperger's isn't a mental illness.)
☁ More religion: 10 Things Christians and Atheist Can (And Must) Agree On. Interesting read. Should probably be required reading. That being said, Cracked is EVIL and is right up there with TVTropes in the "Can't.... Stop..... Clicking" syndrome. Seriously, I lost a good two hours Saturday night. Evil.
☁ I was reminded of a meme that was going around some time ago- the "show us what's in your bag" thing. It's been a while, so I thought I'd do it again. Like before, this is the bag I haul to and from work. I don't haul all this crap around with me everywhere. Also note that I'm a Virgo and this apparently comes with an "always be prepared" mentality. XD
