Losing My Cherry

So Tonight around 10pm I felt my first ever quake. A 5.1 shock with an epicentre some distance away. So before this no quake had ever managed to wake me or be noticed by me so now I have a better idea of my quake threshold. It was still pretty riveting — the room started swaying and the floor was heaving up and down. I am kinda pleased that the moment it happened I lunged under the nearest doorjam. What’s weird is that this great program on Discovery Channel was just ending, about the seven ancient wonders, and except for the odd one destroyed by madmen or pyromanics, most of them were felled by quakes. Sic transit gloria mundi.
