you don't remember the weirdness of the wtfoctopus? for months I heard it outside my living room window in the lightwell... a sound that I can only describe as suction cuppy tentacles climbing the building. Emily heard it once and made me feel slightly less nuts, because it really does sound like what it might sound like if a GIGANTIC cephalopod were climbing the building!
But it went away... until NOW.

I did not recall the wtfoctopus.
Sounds like you have a clear case of your building having been constructed on an ancient cephalopod burial ground.

it's too late! deep in the alleyways of soma the wtfoctopus lays dreaming. then some chick a block away says 'wtfoctopus!" outloud, giggles cuz it sounds funny, and the wtfoctopus is like "yo, who dat over there?' and then it's all over.

So there was a mini-earthquake last night? How often does that happen?

dude, I THOUGHT I felt an earthquake, but I wasn't sure! I was getting dressed and everything in my room just shifted, once. Like a truck hit my house or something. And then that was it! I was like DO THEY HAVE ONE-SHAKE EARTHQUAKES, IS THAT POSSIBLE?
I HAVE NOW FELT MY FIRST EARTHQUAKE EVERRR

@scurv: Yes. They are all different. Some are one kickers, some are sideshiftys, and some are roller overs. (These are not official geological terms, btw.)
It depends on the distance and depth of the epicenter, and what it has to go through to get to you.

I like the little ones a lot, actually, but not when there are too many at a time. A few years back, we had eensy ones every few days and I was a little bit freakin' out.

I like the rolley ones best. They're actually kind of fun.
4.0 is almost nothing. We were in Oakland and didn't even feel it. Then again, we may have been laughing too hard at the concept of "there is no such thing as poop."
WTFOctopus?
