I have no idea if it was just me, but I swear I was woken by a shaking and bouncing of my bed I haven’t felt in years (no comments from all you perverts out there!).
Was it an earthquake or do I really need to stop working so late?
I love the new generation, back in the day people would check news sites, tv, radio to see why their house was rocking like it is 1979, but for over 10 of my friends, changing their facebook status came first. :p
Hope everyone OK 🙂
