My room mate is NUTS!
14 years ago
From the beak of Serif and his human core:
So Sarah was listening to the news yesterday morning on the radio, and heard some wackjob claim that Southern California was to get a 9.something or other earthquake sometime between Friday and Saturday. So she flipped out, as per normal. Sarah has got to be the most paranoid chick on the planet.
Anyway. She wakes me up at buttfuck early 5am, and drags me around to all these different stores to "get ready" for the "big one." We bought flashlights that have radios and are powered by turn cranks, we got glow sticks, we got freeze dried food, we have eight flats of water bottles, the works. She then decides that if anything should happen to the main house, our life was going to end.
So off goes the water, off goes the power, off goes the gas. And into the cat crate go the cats. Her parents are watching all this like it's a joke. God I wish it was. She's running around packing up the car, and begs them to come with her. They tell her kindly to fuck off, and go out to dinner. So Sarah grabs me, puts me in the car, puts the cats in my lap, and we take a three hour drive inland to find a place "safe." Meaning BUTT FUCK NOWHERE!
I have no idea where she took me, but we were out in no-man's land. No trees, no power poles, flat as paper, and not a rock or house in sight. Because "what if something fell in the quake?!" We're also high enough and far enough away from the ocean that we "won't get swept away by the tsunami."
And we sat there. ALL NIGHT! And we sat there ALL MORNING! At two I finally told her I was walking back to the house, and she could sit out here all she wanted. She finally called it a day after that. I think she had to pee or something, to be honest.
I got back about half an hour ago. Friday, seriously?! I wanted to go to the movies with Sin and Eri, to hang out and have a good time. To get some work done and watch My Little Pony. But NOOOO! I had to be in the fucking car all day and night. Blessed be, I'm exhausted. I'm going to check my email and get a nap. I'll be online tomorrow. And watch my show too. I love Sarah to death, but sometimes her crazy feels like it's fiction. Why can't I write this kind of stuff into my books?! Instead, I have to live it.

She's very pissed about this. Even now, a week later. I seriously don't even know.
So, when did you move? I'm not sure you told me you'd moved. Is it going well, aside from the tinfoil hattery? *hugs*
I hope she knows socal isn't capable of that type of quake.. our fault is different
