It's like being jell-o

XD We had an earthquake last night and some aftershocks this morning. It was really cool!
There wasn't any damage around here, it wasn't very big. We're supposed to have huge quakes around here, but I've only ever been in one other one that I can think of, and I slept through it.
It woke me up last night, but I was too tired to do anything about it. I was just kind of like, "What? Uhh... should I be hiding under a table or something? Hmm.... Nah, I'll just go back to sleep... if it's dangerous, someone will wake me up...."
Anyway, it was just like someone flipped a switch and turned the world on vibrate. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't have even felt it.
So, does anyone else believe that animals can predict earthquakes? I believe in it sort of. No one can prove that animals have supernatural abilities or sixth senses, but you'd be stupid not to believe that animals do often act weird before earthquakes. Ironically, I was just thinking yesterday, "Hmm... my cat's acting weird. I wonder if there's going to be some crazy weather soon."
Yeah, he started being cranky a few days ago. Normally he'll sit all day happily being petted, but he didn't seem too happy about it. Also, he seemed to avoid his two favorite places in the house (where he always is at any point in they day if he's not hiding from strangers or taking a dump in the basement). He also started biting.
Has anyone else ever had pets go crazy before big weather? It would be cool to hear about.

I never once insulted you or your art. All I did was give you my two cents on commissioning, told you that I had been rather annoyed with you lately, did a little well-needed complaining, stated clearly and simply that I did not want a commission and did not enjoy the badgering, and apologized more than once for any possible baseless offense.
In addition to that, did I criticize you for wanting money? No. I want and need money as well. I just don't take it upon myself to beg people to donate to the cause. And did I state this rudely, too? No. I said that begging, even to do people a service for cash, is neither enjoyable to those being begged to or good for business. And that is all I stated. Did I ever once say "Don't beg, you stupid beggar. You don't really need the money. There are plenty of other people doing art out there for free who are starving and still don't care that they're not being paid?" The answer to that question is "no." And, to avoid further offense, I did not mean the previous statement in any way. I know you need the money, and I didn't once doubt how important it was. I just said that begging is inconvenient and inefficient, and said nothing negative about you in the process.
I avoided mentioning my annoyance in the past because I thought you would either ignore it or overreact to it. I would have stated it more simply if I thought I were just able to leave it at that, but I believe I must explain myself perfectly clearly in this sort of situation, hence the long-windedness, which increases the chance that you think I'm bitching at you by 50% by how much it looks like I'm ranting like a chicken with its head cut off.
Having said that, I will say that some parts of the comment could be taken differently than I intended them to be taken. If read in a different light, it could be extremely offensive. That is why I clarified and stated that I had no intention of insulting or offending you in any way, and meant everything I said in the most positive of ways, and said that I was also sorry for anything that you might have taken offense to, due to the hard-to-guage meanings behind many of my words.
And I hope that this is the case, and not that you have taken great offense from something from which there clearly was none to take, and are, in the process, showing yourself off as ignorant, arrogant, and immature (ie namecalling), and who I can easily judge as someone who needs to wake up and smell the coffee and learn to take people more seriously.
But you can never assume that sort of thing. So I am not stating that about you- I am just stating that that description would fit someone who does not take people seriously, does not look into the clear meaning of their words, and gets childishly angry when there's even a suggestion that they might not be perfect (which was not ACTUALLY the case, as I never clearly stated so, but how it might have been taken). It would be like saying "Even though I know you didn't steal that toast, someone who stole that toast would deserve a beating." So I am not comparing you to aforementioned individual in this case in any way.
Before posting my comment, I looked over it many times, and made uncountable changes to it. I wanted to say exactly what I meant, without displeasing the reciever of the comment. I have not done a perfect job of this. At first, I was clearly saying simply what I wanted to say, and what I thought was reasonable. Although there might have been a hint (a lot) of sarcasm in those first few statements, I did not mean any of them insultingly, and some of them were not presented in the way that they were meant, much to my fault. I also clearly apologized once I had gotten my head for the things I had said in the moment, and said that I would then proceed to announce my rational thoughts on the matter.
I can easily see statements like "Damn, I'm pissed" being seen as highly offensive. I'm sorry that my intentions in that particular statement were unclear. I did not mean "Damn, I'm so pissed at you, and I just hate you right now." I intended to get across the idea of "Damn, I'm so pissed today... I'm sorry that my unusually on-edge mood today is causing me to act this way. I'm not just angry at you- I'm angry at a lot of things right now." I thought that statement would greatly soften up the preceeding and proceeding statements, but looking back, it probably just made me look like I was being an asshole. I am very sorry for this, as well as many other statements I made that seemed improper and uncalled for.
I'm not steamingly mad at you. I'm just a little annoyed. And it's annoyed like you get with everybody sometimes, not annoyed like "God, I hate that Taggz, he's so annoying..." My "smidgen annoyed" probably sounded sarcastic and seemed to mean something more like "I am so pissed at you right now," but I just meant to say that I'm reasonably irritated, and that it was not as big a deal as I made it out to be, and that I'm not going to be unreasonably angry at you for a long time.
The things I said were things I felt I need to say. Partially to be comfortable around you, and partially because I had been irritated by it for a long time. I had not mentioned it in the past because I thought you would ignore my comment or get unreasonably angry with me, and so it came to be like "God, I've been putting up with this forever, and I'm so tired of it" over time. I should have mentioned it earlier or politely alerted you that I found it a little annoying. For my "You keep doing this and I hate it" additude, I apologize. It seemed the way that things were at the time, so I think it was inevitable, but I am nonetheless sorry for the attitude I built up after a while, and for not having confidence that you would deal with the situation in a way that I would be pleased with.
In addition to that, I hoped my bolded statement would be held as firm and matter-of-fact rather than yelling angrily and immaturely. That was another statement I considered changing, but did not, because I meant it and thought that trying to explain further that I meant you no offense by it would only sound as if I were coming up with excuses, and left it as it was.
The first few statements I made, I realize, probably sound extremely bitchy. They seemed fine after I had been sitting with them in front of me for half an hour, but I can really see how immature, arrogant, and flat-out insulting I sounded. I mostly meant what I said, but absolutely not in the context that was implied. I did my best to try and make it not look insulting (not as in sugarcoating, but as in making it look exactly how I meant it), but looking back, I didn't do a good job at all, and I am extremely apologetic.
Being blocked and getting that comment from you made me really, really pissed at you... especially since you sunk to namecalling and other childish arguing methods, and seemed to pull a lot of ideas that I had thrown at you out of thin air. But, in thinking of some way to argue it out, I realize that I sounded even more stupid with what I said, so if that was your reasoning, it's... well... reasonable. XD
So, as I was saying, having hopefully cleared up my opinion on both of our comments, I hope that you understand how little I meant to insult you, and I shouldn't be pissed at you for being rude to me, because I looked to be even worse from the outside. I take back few of the words I said, but I absolutely take back the implied meaning behind those words and the offense you took to them. I'm not trying to be a bitch, I'm not really BEING a bitch, but it sure as hell seems like it. So, it works out. Either you can understand well my meaning and intentions and that I would be on perfectly good terms with you if you can understand that, or you *can* be the arrogant little bastard who doesn't listen to people, doesn't trust them, has a short fuse, resorts to mocking and namecalling, and assumes things that weren't even suggested. Cause if you still think I'm bitchy after all that, then you are. XD *snort*
But who knows. I'd be willing to dispute any other arguments with you, but all I'm asking is that you understand what I intended and believe my words, not for you to forgive me for looking like an asshole. Whether or not you care to ever speak to me again, if you at least went far enough to reply saying you sort of understand in some way, I'll know you aren't an arrogant bastard. :) Otherwise, that means... you hold grudges just because you like to be angry, and you're too sensitive, and too stupid to believe what perfectly good people put time and effort into telling you.
Again, not asking for forgiveness, just understanding. <3 I don't like you any less (well... unless you DON'T understand, in which case we go down the arrogant bastard path again), whether or not I'm annoyed at you for stuff. Shit happens... People get annoyed at each other all the time, whether or not it's anybody's fault. I'm not personally targetting you to insult, or anything. I just happened to have a LOT of bad wording that I didn't fix so well. x___x I'm not particularly pissed at you for anything (since I got THAT out of the way), except for the rude comment, which is excusable if you were retaliating because of the way I spoke, not out of immaturity, and the possible not-understanding. Then you'd be an immature, not-understanding arrogant bastard!
And by understanding, I don't care if you're still offended. You have a bit of a right to be, but I just want you to believe that I meant what I said, was not trying to insult you, and am not looking to piss you off cause I dislike you or something. Whether or not you're still mad at me when you know what I meant when I said that stuff, as long as you know I'm not just some retarded bitchy girl who came on DA to **** up your life, that's all I need.
I made no mistakes in what I said, only how I said it. That's my disclaimer, there. I really thought hard about what I said, but that wasn't enough, and I'm sorry for that much. I would never flat-out insult somebody, cause that's just stupid. So I can only hope that, based on the fact that you might not think I'm a bitch all the time, that you know that I mean what I said, and I'm pissed that... well... you're pissed. Cause I didn't INTEND to do that. So that's all, I suppose. My final word, for now.
(PS It's not that time of the month, anyway)
