Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I felt it too!

Lennox and Hawthorne are getting slammed! [link] scroll down for list

Lennox is actually the site (or was 10 years ago) of a tiny little school district that still has a really good dual immersion bilingual program. No secondary schools though. On edit, they do have a charter HS now an a middle school. Oh lord I feel old.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Every time people mention quakes, I start humming the Animaniacs Quake song. [link]

First off, my cats are pointless at either predicting quakes or noticing them. Useless cats. Second I searched twitter as soon as I felt it, got no results, left it alone for five minutes and this was the message:

Realtime results for "earthquake"

2859 more results since you started searching. Refresh to see them.

Which is cool!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe we're all gonna die. My net connection has gone super-slow. That's like a harbinger, innit?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I do not like being at work during an earthquake. I don't want to get stuck with these fools!

Trust my rage

Poor Kat and poor Noah! And Grace! I hope you all get well soon.

(I also seem to remember Raq and Mallory having HFM. )

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Quakes happening in the same place is to be expected after a big quake. It's things (and by "things," I mean The Earth) settling down.

Poor sick plaguehouses!
