Earthquakes! Oh my!

So last night after spending quite an excessive amount of time on Facebook and YouTube.  I finally forced myself to turn off the light, turn off my lab top and slip underneath the covers to go to sleep.  I was just getting adjusted in bed when all of a sudden I heard a strange noise coming from my closet! Almost as if someone was in there! It totally freaked me out so I turned on the light and was preparing to get up and investigate this noise when I heard a rumbling sound that sounded like a train. I immediately thought, " oh crap, it must be a tornado. I should take cover."But then realized that was completely irrational and that I would not be alive if that were the case.  So I proceeded onto the next thought associated with the noise. This time the bathroom next to my room started shaking violently, and I ran out of my room and as I was running, I could feel the ground moving beneath me.  I cried out to my mom and dad, "Mom, Dad, It's an earthquake. I'm scared." Then ran downstairs and woke up my mom, which I later felt bad for and told her that there was an earthquake.  By this point, I realized that I would have a hard time falling asleep so I got on Facebook, the ever present help in trouble, and saw that two of my friends had also felt it and that I wasn't just imagining things.  I decided I could go to sleep now and attempted to fall asleep, but kept on imagining it happening again. Then I felt the ground moving and my calendar moved on its own and I realized there was another earthquake but this time I was too exhausted to move.  So I  finally turned on some praise and worship music which helped my discomfort and then finally classical music and drifted into sleep.  It was a fitful night so needless to say I will not be going to bed late tonight because I don't want to feel another earthquake!
