M6.6

how about that... so far, i would say the most exciting thing that happened in the last few days was the tremor that just happened about an hour ago. chiLLing out on the sofa, all of a sudden everything started to shake. it took a few moments to realise what was going on, and once that was out of the way (the realisation that an earthquake was occurring) wasn't as much a 'chiLLing out' on the sofa but more a freaking out on the sofa.

it was quite an interesting feeling, i must say. when you see videos of earthquakes, it seems to be more rigid, but in this case it was rather wobbly... almost soft. a rollercoaster feels more violent. nonetheless, everything started to fall apart; the TV (which is about the size of a small table) danced about like a drunken and there were noises of things falling down. once it was over, the 'freaking out' on the sofa had passed and the 'being frozen' on the sofa started. let's say we were expecting an aftershock, which hasn't come... yet. 

oddly enough, i only processed what had happened about 10 minutes after it was over. only then did i really start to feel the earthquake. something like a photograph, you only see the image some time after you sink the paper in the developer. in honesty, i cannot say i didn't enjoy the experience of being in an earthquake... again.

apart from this exciting news, the only other thing that happened was my staying awake for nearly 48 hours. consequence of not having keys to lock the flat and coffee overdose.

more to come after the next natural phenomenon...
