i was on the phone…

… at work today using my headset.  just chatting w/ a colleague in NYC when all of a sudden it felt like there was construction or something upstairs – nope.  two seconds later i say “are we having an earthquake!?” the guy on the phone was like “woah – what?” i have no idea what to do, i look over and see the guy at the next desk hang up his phone and get under his desk.  i am laughing to the guy on the phone saying “i think i’m supposed to get on the ground.”  so i slowly sit down while laughing & talking on the phone still.  he could hear the people and the blinds hitting the window.  it was crazy.

the thing is that it wasn’t a “shaking” earthquake.  it basically felt as though our office building was put on a boat and then another boat went by wicked fast leaving us all wavy on their wake.

i saw that a friend wrote on her facebook that she wished i would move back from earthquake-land and i told her that essentially i could.  i’ve met paul walker & nick hexum, i’ve dated a surfer, and now experienced an earthquake – isn’t that all LA’s got offer?
