Starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane...

Twenty minutes ago I heard a giant jet engine that sounded like it was a couple hundred feet off the ground and way too close to our house.  I spent about two seconds flipping out about airplane terrorism before I ran to the window and saw that it was a formation of fighter jets flying very low along the river.  Weird.  They've only flown near our house once or twice in my lifetime.  I turn on the news, nothing relevant, then five minutes later another group comes flying by and nearly breaks my eardrums.

What the shit.  Are they training or something?  And if so, why are they out here?  I don't remember them coming that near our house, ever.

Hello, paranoia.

At any rate, a poll before I trot off to class, because I've been reading Waterloo and it makes me a happy little fangirl.

[Poll #843223]

No seriously.  I'm torn.

I live by an airport, and thanks to bitchy neighbors making a fit, our whole neighborhood got soundproof windows and doors, and central air/heating (since the soundproof windows don't open) on the airport's dime. I couldn't sleep for weeks, cos it was too eerily quiet. The paradigm of my childhood was random periods where everyone stands around silent, cos a giant jet is ROARRRRing overhead. :D
