The alley behind my house is the city hall of stray cat politics. My bedroom window faces that alley, so I hear whatever goes on sadly. Whenever male cats encounter each other, they're always fighting. One night I was in the middle of a Qarn run when suddenly two males start "crying" at eachother. (the sound they make before they fight)

At the time, (before I googled what crying cats meant) I thought it was two cats having sex so I told my party "brb cats having sex". I was gone for 20minutes, shooing away the stubborn cats. They weren't very scared at me and for a mean while the three of us just looked at each other waiting for a response from one another. Eventually I got the broom and started sweeping at them.

When I returned to my desk and told my party I was sorry for afking they said "what--did you join them?". xD

Well depends from where one comes from. I live in area that never has earthquakes (well I have experienced only 2 in the 24 years I've lived here anyway, and they were VERY small), so for some people it could be considered odd. I know I would find it to be odd since it has never really been something part of my life.

I come from an area that never has any earthquakes as well. Same as you, one or two in 25 years.
But I am currently living somewhere where there are a lot of earthquakes. Personally I got used to them pretty fast. Most of the time it is just your chair/bed/the cups in your cupboard shaking a little bit. Still, if it is goes on longer than that or the shocks are heavier than normal I pause to pay attention. Fortunately, I have yet to experience a heavy earthquake (>.<)

I always see people go afk saying, My kids woke up or I have to go pick my kids up. I mean tbh if I had kids I would not be spending tons of time on a game, I would spend it with my kids.

Try saying that again when you actually have kids! I have a 12 year old Autistic son and believe me at the end of the day I look forward to relaxing on FFXIV and having some ME time
