Since yesterday's earthquake turned out to be a (mostly) harmless one (there have been cracks at places), people are treating as a welcome distraction of sorts. S is miffed that he slept through it, and I am of course doing my best to mock him; D is pretending he doesn't care, though he is equally miffed. Meanwhile, there are the stories.


G, for instance, went to sleep at 3.30, drunk. When the noise woke him up, he thought they were rats cutting paper (no, don't ask me why). Then he thought they were fighter planes, and maybe [the girls' hostel nearby] had been bombed (please don't ask me why. he was drunk). So he followed everybody outside, where one Great Intellectual said, wiping his brow, "Narrowly escaped death." And that was when he realised it was an earthquake. Afterwards, he went back to sleep, only to be woken up an hour later by a harried senior,

Senior: *bangs on door* WAKE UP! IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE!
G: Actually, that happened an hour ago.

*

G's roomie had fallen asleep in the reading room, his feet up on the table. He was woken up by a friend, only to discover that he couldn't move, because his feet had gone to sleep.

*

A reached half an hour late for his exam, because he was busy playing 'earthquake' with his friends and went to sleep at 5.30, and then got up late.

*

S: But I was asleep! I didn't feel a thing!
D: Neither did I!

*

The Comrade: I was thinking of the Titanic.

*

Queen M: See, the bed was moving. I thought it was an erotic dream. Then I realised it wasn't a dream, because I was awake.

*

M decided she would comb her hair before she went outside. By the time she did finish, the earthquake was over.

D, her roomie, refused to go out of doors, declaring she would rather die of a collapsing building than of cold.

*

S: But no one woke me up!
D: Me neither!

*

The Great Revolutionary did not come out of his room because he was wearing his really short shorts.

*

G's boyfriend called her up, saying, "How is your sense of geography?"
"Pretty good," she said. "Why?"
"Tell me, should I go upstairs, or downstairs?" (he was on the fourth floor)

*

A thought it was a ghost. Since this is A, I completely believe her. Her bed was moving, and she thought it was ghost shaking it. Then an empty bottle of water fell on her head from the bookshelf above, and she was even more convinced that it was a ghost. She ran outside, and there were other people running around. That's when she realised it was an earthquake.

*

Professor Big Mac claims he saw people going out of their windows. I'm not sure I believe him, because people are not snakes. He might have gone himself, though, given his one-dimensional frame.

*

S: I can't believe I missed it. Damn.
D: I don't care for such stupid things anyway...

Hee. I was in bed writing an LJ post during our earthquake this week, but it was over before I had time to get excited...

Hee. This was a *proper* earthquake. Not big enough to be scary, not small enough to be uninteresting. I suspect people are going to talk about it for the next few weeks (we are that boring).

Living in an earthquake zone (and having lived thru a 6.8 a few years ago), I'm just glad yours was small and with no injuries and little damage!

and HEE to your friends' stories. LOLOL

Ack! 6.8 is HUGE! Ours was a fun earthquake, since there was no damage and a lot of panic and insanity. *g*

Maybe he wanted to spare the world the sight of his hairy thighs? After all, he wouldn't want the world to end before the Revolution happens...
