The One With The Asteroids and Earthquakes

There was another freaking earthquake today. I was sitting in my room when it hit, and I actually threw my laptop down and ran out to the hallway. To do what, I don't know. All I know is I was shaking for a good 30 minutes after it hit. If there is one thing I'm scared of more than anything else in this world, it's an earthquake. I think if I was ever at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I came across a stray boggart in a wardrobe or something, the floor would start shaking uncontrollably.*

* this would only make sense you've read Harry Potter.

In other scary ass news, an asteroid might hit earth in 2014. March 21, 2014, to be exact. Yep, yep, this asteroid is said to "have the effect of 20 million Hiroshima atomic bombs" on impact. Bad news is, everyone would die. Good news is, I probably don't have to finish school or get a job! Would a college degree and a six figure salary be important by 2012? I think not! In fact, I think the most important thing would be lots and lots of alcohol. Who wouldn't want to be completely wasted/passed out at the sight of a giant rock falling down on top of them from the sky? Oh no, and by 2012, our supply of liquor will have diminished due to everyone wanting to be wasted. Time to quit school, stock up on the vodka and learn to become an alcoholic - right now!

Ah, leave it up to me to see the brighter side of things :)
