RE: Last Night's Letter

Dear World,

An earthquake was not what I had in mind. At all. (Other than the fact that it's really amusing. I guess that helps.)

What?

In other news... walking around aimlessly makes me feel better. Also, I am a great big superstitious fluffball. Because a ladybug hopped onto me somewhere during my walk around downtown today, and got on the Grand bus with me. I let it crawl around and watched it, because ladybugs are good luck. And it fell off of me onto a lady's fancy tacky purse and she... she swatted it. So after she got off I caught it off the back of her seat and held onto it until I could take it to the park across from my apartment, because I kind of felt responsible for it being transported into a dangerous environment. And in the end, I deposited it on a fuzzy tree, and I hope it'll be happy, even if it is miles from its original home. (And I took pictures, er, because I'm a nerd.)

And why would you, anyway! They're harmless, and rather cute as far as bugs go! (Says the girl whose heart can be captured by a yawning tiny snake.)

Lol, but it was for us! 5.2, I mean, it could be felt in Tennessee! Everyone at work was all "It woke me up! My ceramic chickens were knocking together! We need earthquake insurance! I hate curry!" and I just kind of sat there and went... "This has happened before, you know? It's... kind of really amusing."

By rights I should have felt it too. Kansas people felt it!!! Hell, I had a raging case of insomnia during the night and10 to 1 I was staring at my eyelids when it happened.

Curse you, KC area, for having such amazing bedrock.

Clearly our earthquakes just need to try harder. We should import some California and Japan quakes to tutor ours, so they know what they're doing. I mean... what did this one manage? I think it destroyed a few awnings. Such an underachiever-quake.
