So, my very first earthquake today. They claim it was stronger than the usual ones. I was sort of looking forward to it, for two reasons.
1. I hadn’t experienced one ever.
2. I wanted the experience once, so I didn’t panic if a “bad one” happened.
The bad news? I slept right through it. That just sums my life story up, right there. Blah! 
Better luck next time, me.
did you sleep through that!?
uh-oh……
an earthquake might kill you, you know? you better be careful!!
(but I knew that you slept through the earthquake, because you didn’t send me an email/call me. that, or you died.
)
by the way, have you ever seen fireworks?
oh, you saw those tonight!?:O me too!! that was a great experience, wasn’t it?
It must not have been bad at all if you slept right through it! I had co-workers who were driving when the quake hit here last week and they never felt it.
I’d say I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you get to experience a quake someday, but somehow I think that might be a bad idea…
I can’t help that I don’t wake up!
I usually wake up from sounds, even if they’re small, but this time I didn’t. 
(I didn’t die, promise!)
Tonight’s fireworks were great!
I saw them with you, silly. 
Stace: The local folks claim it was stronger than usual, so I guess that means the earthquakes in Kyoto aren’t quite as bad as they can be elsewhere. Good for me.
That explains why all the buildings and such are still standing — a wonder, with earthquake-turf.
And yeah, I am sort of tilting between “wanting one” and “not wanting one”. I guess in a seismologically active country, I’m bound to experience one (in awaken state) sooner or later.
