Ah, California, How I Missed Thee.

There have only been a couple of earthquakes where I live and they've always been really faint (we're nowhere near a fault line) and I slept through them both

The only earthquake I've ever experienced was when I lived in Tokyo.  I don't count it though because it didn't actually hit us.  We only got like a shiver. 

It was the Kobe earthquake of 1995 if anyone has heard of it.  Was horrible. One of the worst earthquakes in Japan.

I was too young at the time.  I would have been more interested in the power rangers than international troubles.

Aww, isn't that lovely? ;p
I miss CA like crazy
Even the little earthquakes, it'll all be amusing when you remember it later ;p

You obviously aren't from CA, Cry *smartie*
Wonder where you're from

Yeah I was young too, like five or six.  I was watching TV at the time (Little Audrey, is it sad that I remember this?) and I felt the house shudder for a second.  My family didn't pay it any attention so I thought nobody else had felt it.  I never mentioned it because I thought I was crazy.  It's only recently I learned that was real and was part of the Kobe earthquake.

It's not sad to remember random details from an event, at all.  I remember the most random things from big events in my childhood, too.  Like spilling my m&m's when my mother announced that I won money at the horse races.

I experienced several light ones when I was in Tokyo, but they were so delicate it was rather funny then scary.

I plan to move back to Texas as soon as I finish schooling here.  If I'm under 149 pounds at that time, I also plan to join the military.  So I doubt I'll get stability any time soon.


Miley, I'd offer to trade you places, but I don't know where you are or if I'd want to be there.

I have never in my life experienced an earth quake, or any other natural disaster really. Where I live is pretty good and not many things happen

I'm glad nothing bad happened, and that you're okay.

Oh, and does California experience earthquakes on a daily basis?

If they did, I probably wouldn't have assumed that the earthquake was someone shaking my trailer.

No, they don't.  Or if they do, they're really mild and much closer to the San Andreas Faultline.  >.>  This is the first one I've felt since I moved here last August.

We spent a whole term studying the Kobe earthquake when I was in about year 8 in school. (Would have only been about five years after it happened.)

If I recall correctly there's also an exhibition about it at the Natural History Museum in London. You can stand in a replica Japanese kitchen which shakes as you watch footage of the quake. Tasteful!

I know how you feel, but I do think it's better to have more experience to draw on. I've only had one major move, from the south of England to the northwest when I was 7. Not even 200 miles but with the attitude Northerners and Southerners have to each other it often feels like I don't fit in with either of them. Still I'm glad *I* don't have any of their prejudices, because of being "from" both.

However, because of my frequent moving, think about what I am lacking.  I have never lived anywhere for more than three years.  I have never attended the same school for more than three years.  All my friendships either change into long-distance or end quickly, which means I have no real experience in maintaining close ties.
