Um, okay. I am sitting here typing this, as the tv is on and our rubbish is being collected having a little cry. Because of this photo of the High street side of the Link Center (the building I was in,and I went out the Hereford entrance)

Holy shit that building, Jen.

It's sort of starting to sink in for me a bit more now. The first couple of days I could look at pictures of places I knew and not feel much and now it's like a dull thump in the chest. i'm so glad you're on the coast.

Now I have to go poo before we go out! This is the earthquake of TMI! Even Lara's talking about it!

Love you so much!

I was talking to one of the girls from my class and she said her unlce is part of the USAR and he said that the Link Center was one of the best buildings still standing on the street but he is amazed that we got out safely. They apparently couldn't even get to our level.

*bigs hugs* I love you!

Hoped your poo went well! Lolz, wow Lara is even talking about it, that is pretty huge!

I need to do the dishes before we go so I better get onto it. Am listening to Jason and eating odd fellows even tho I want to be eating my weight in chocolate which I will so do once I get to the coast!

Stay Safe!

Safe as houses! Except the houses aren't safe anymore so...

But we're all good. The house is right at the top of the hill ad one wall had completely gone outwards, one part of it two meters away from where it was supposed to be, huge zigzag cracks up the walls. We filled up two cars of stuff and then left. Felt one little aftershock while we were there but not a big one. The view was right out over the city... you could see CBD and the coastline and everything. I had On An Unknown Beach stuck in my head and looking at the city was just weird. It looks normal from up there, almost.

It's so scary hearing that USAR couldn't even get to your level... holy shit, don't really want to think about that.
