I experienced my second Earthquake this evening. A very surreal experience as i was sitting with my friend D in the movie theatre at The Grove watching Star Trek. As The Enterprise was about to go Warp Speed the building started to shake and creak. My first thought was that it was part of the cinematic experience! My heart rate elevated and i started to look around me and people had started to run out of their seats. I now think they were tourists as the majority stayed in their seats. I didn't even think to run, i turned to my friend D with wide eyes, who turned to me equally wide eyed and after a 'whoah' and a grip of his arm we burst out laughing. Perhaps nervous laughter. The movie kept playing the whole time so i quickly went back to watching it and people slowing came back to their seats.
Outside, The Grove was buzzing because it was a beautiful day. People sitting outside eating, couples kissing by the fountain. No way would you believe there had just been a 4.7 richter scale earthquake. These Californians are seriously laid back. I like it.
They are also ridiculously good looking and healthy. Everybody looks like a model. Sure some of the girls are overdone with boob jobs and oversized lips but they have great healthy, fit bodies. The men, well, the men are ridiculously athletic looking. Since being here i have been to the gym every single morning, i've swam and ate more fruit this week than in the last 3 months...maybe it's because i've been in a swimsuit most days. Who the hell can be so bold to eat a hamburger and fries while wearing a swimsuit? Not me.
