The guy from Spacing is such a ****ing dork. He was a guest lecturer for my magazine class last year. I mean, he's a great businessman but still.

It wasn't very long, Justin. I think the building shook for about a minute? Just funny, though, apparently all the US helicopters had to land (I dont know why an earthquake would make them land but still) since they were scouting around for the G20 when it happened.

Was it strong enough to seriously damage anything?

I don't think so, no. Nothing fell off shelves where I'm working.

It was mongrelmen tunneling too close to ur foundation.

It did kinda make my adrenaline go up but its only real lasting effect was it really made me have to poop.

haha

not much of a 'lasting' effect if you ask me

ahahaah xplisit your so funi mor fun posts HAHA

Anyhow, I've only ever experienced really minor earthquakes like that, stuffs p interesting.

Would that just be considered a tremor?

I've never felt an earthquake :(
Is it fun?

I guess. It was more, "what the **** is this" and then going, "oh I guess that's an earthquake".

thats exactly what went through my head hahaha

I want the fissures to be so powerful that I feel like I'm in outer space!

you never know dude, i mean toronto isn't exactly a hotbed for tectonic activity (or whatever the **** earthquakes are. honestly, i dont know or care).

Nah man nothing like that'll ever happen here.

Most exciting thing to do with nature or anything naturalistic like that (idk) is when we get snow and the whole country goes apeshit, it suddenly becomes front page news with ****ing abysmal lazy journalists trying to play up this ****, then the whole country goes into lockdown leaving all reasonable reaching for the facepalm.

I was reading my Lovecraft book when my room suddenly started shaking haha

Which story?

any time theres a storm the internet doesnt work :angry:

Over the course of the year we probably get a bit more rain than sunshine, but overall weather in Britain is just really really overcast and cloudy and holy **** gloomy. People have problems grasping this fact and constantly bitch and moan and smother themselves in fake tan as a consequence.

I wish it ****ing rained more tbh, gimme a torrential downpour so I can then go splishy splashy in the puddles over baking heat, where every mongoloid in a 2 yard radius suddenly digs out there flip flops and garish summer clothes any ****ing day.

Either The Silver Key or The Music of Erich Zann, don't remember which of the two I was at.

Good ones. I'm partial to the first Lovecraft story I ever read; [I]The rats in the walls.[/I]

Yeah, that was a good one. I enjoyed Pickman's Model, too. I've read 6-7 stories of his by now and there's only one or two I found rather average.

I'm at The Call of Cthulhu now.
