march madness

last post i wrote on this blog was in february
so i thought i needed to write another post

today around 4 a.m., i woke up to a very violent shaking
at first i thought it was my mother
but then, it wasn't long after when i realized it was an earthquake
my computer speakers emit this neon blue light to indicate that they are on
so you'd understand how a bit freaky it could be:
4 in the morning, violent shake, dancing neon blue light in the dark... yeah, fun

so i stayed up a little bit 'til 6
my mother, for some damn reason, decided to wake up early and came to my room
she saw me sitting in front of my computer and started yelling, like a good korean mother always would

mom: why are you still up?
me: what do you mean? i was sleeping but then i woke up to that earthquake earlier
mom: what earthquake?
me: uhhh the one that just happened like an hour ago?
mom: i didn't feel anything. neither did your dad
me: but there was an earth...
mom: how many times did i tell you to go to sleep early?
me: what? i went to...
mom: stop giving me excuses! you and your stupid tv shows that you always watch! do something productive!
me: i'm editing the new song me and david just recorded!
mom: oh please. i know you switch screens every time i walk into your room
me: what? switch what screens? i don't switch screens
mom: yes, you do
me: no, i don't
mom: yes, you do
me: i don't!
mom: you do
me: ...
mom: ...
me: ...
mom: earthquake, such nonsense (shakes her head)
me: why the hell would i lie about an earthquake?! what good does that do?
mom: just go to sleep. remember, i'm not gonna wake you up if you don't go to sleep early
me: uhhh when was the last time you woke me up for my work?
mom: i always do
me: no, you don't
mom: yes, i do
me: jesus christ, get out, please
mom: (shuts the door behind her as she exists)

as you can tell, my family is very loving and caring
and my mother loves me so dearly that she doesn't believe a word coming out of my mouth

it just hit me
my dog was barking all night
maybe she was responding to the earthquake
smart dog
