I was already mildly awake, but it felt like somebody grabbed my bed and shook it, and I can't settle down.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

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

The status is NOT quo.
Ditto. I envy Drew his ability to wake up, mutter "earthquake," and fall back asleep. Also, I apparently cricked my neck when the bed jumped, and it hurts. And I have to get up in 90 minutes. And yes, I would like some cheese with my whine. Being woken up on little sleep makes me 3.

Ugh. I woke up three or four times last night, but not for as good a reason.

I was thrilled when I turned 30, because I figured any lectures my mother chose to deliver were because of her issues, because I was 30, dammit, and that meant I was a grown-up (for purposes of not having to listen to maternal lectures).

My mother will lecture my corpse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Earthquake? Yikes!

I totally want to do this now, just on principle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Eeep, sorry about the earthquake. My cats started nonsense at 4:15!! NOT ON, cats!
Also, the movers cancelled and rescheduled for Thursday at 2pm, not nearly as convenient.
oh well, I have voted in our special election and now I can be on time for work. Maybe before Thursday I can get some more crap cleared out of the house.

Our wings are not tired.
Planet! Stop shaking people trying to sleep!
Grateful that I married a designated driver. Don't have to worry so much about breathalyzer tests and such. Will remember the stay fled advice though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm very glad that nobody was hurt in the earthquake. I'm also very amused that there's a whole cluster of posts saying "earthquake? you too? dammit, trying to sleep."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm also very amused that there's a whole cluster of posts saying "earthquake? you too? dammit, trying to sleep."
Yes. As someone who has spent my entire life in the Northeast, I do not understand this casual attitude towards PIECES OF THE EARTH'S CRUST BANGING TOGETHER HARD ENOUGH TO SHAKE BUILDINGS.
(See, I was thinking I'd get to the end of the thread and post something about how living in New York means I never have to worry about driving drunk. Now I can add "also no earthquakes*" to that list.)
*Except for that one in 1884 and the next one we're long overdue for that will probably sink the entire East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean. If global warming doesn't get us first.
