    Well, I'm still here but that's not surprising seeing as I'm a godless heathen.  ;-P  I guess I'll just have to wait an see if J (a good Christian) comes home from his trip.  I've gotten texts from him since midnight but who knows, maybe heaven is keeping up with the technology and they have cell service up there?  ;-) 

    Any one out there feeling floaty?

    All's well on the West coast at 12:19am.

     

    In a few hours we're gonna go out and place clothes and shoes on the sidewalks.

    I really am curious as to whether or not people are going to react around PDX 6:00pm today.

    @caitlanc: I hope to stay out long enough to catch someone finding some and going WTF??. If I can record it, it's totally going up on YouTube. There's a busy intersection and a diner right up the street from me, I want to sit in the diner with my camera but I don't think they'll let me do that.

    @miss sparkly cat:  Absolutely no idea if there's a set time or not.  Maybe Tunacupcakes knows something we don't?!

    @futuremrshc:  That would be amazing.  I can't wait!  :-D 

    Added a poll because they always make things more fun, yes?

    this guy is like 89 (I think thats what they said on the news today) so what if all he is doing is predicting his own death at that age he cant be too far off in his guess

    7:55 a.m. here on the east coast and I don't see anyone floating up to the heavens. Then again, it's possible that no good Christians live in this neighborhood. ;)

    @caitlanc: 6pm in each time zone. He said starting with New Zealand there would be catastrophic earthquakes at 6pm local time for everyone in the world. Except I think that 6pm New Zealand time was like 7 hours ago or something and I haven't heard anything.... weird...... :)

    For the record the real "rapture" isn't supposed to happen until next year. Some guy made it up that it was this year and managed to get the media attention. Also, everything is good here and will be next year as well! lol

    How many End of the World parties do you think we will see at New Years?

    It's not a time zone thing. It's just when every country, city, town has it's sun set, they are suppose to feel earthquakes, and then after every place has experienced the earthquakes we are suppose to be taken up. The quakes are suppose to follow the sun's roatation around the world. New Zealand was suppose to feel the quake first, but there have been not quakes reported yet, and it's way pass sunset there for them. So I think we are all okay. Wink

    Its currently 11:46pm May 21st Japan time. There wasn't a single shake today. Nothing out of the ordinary. I think the ripple effect of the rapture has officially been discredited.

    Yeah, the day isn't over yet.  Wait for 6 pm.  Not sure what time zone, but just wait.  Actually I just read that Camping predicted that New Zealand would be struck first.  So, their time zone?! IDK.  I'm so confused!! Hahaha.

    Check in with you guys tomorrow. ;)

    Today has been crazayzy!

    We went and put some clothes out at 4am and came back home. At 7 I went into the diner I talked about and sat down for some coffee. I was there for about 20 minutes when I pulled my camera out, bus-riders were trekking up the street towards some of my clothes. Within a minute or two a waitress was at my table telling me I had to put my camera away, or leave.

    Cry

    A few people walked by the clothes and laughed.

    But this one lady....wow.

    She was a bit older, probably in her 50's or so. She's walking to the bus stop really steadily. All of a sudden she breaks into a sprint, then a full on run. She stops at this pair of jeans, tanktop and flipfloppies and starts yelling "This precious young girl! Why have you taken her Jesus?! Take me! TAKE ME! TAKE ME!".

    At this point she's yelling at the sky with raised fists. Other people in the diner are coming over to look out at her. She starts crying and her makeup is running. Then she looks over at the diner window and sees me laughing. We're about 15 feet apart. She glares at me and comes running into the diner. A few waitresses follow her to my table with wide eyes, not knowing WTF is going on.

    Then she starts shouting in French. The waitresses start laughing and she shoots them glares, but still shouting the whole time. She's waving her hands over me, then at the sky, then in my face. Then she clapped her hands and walked out.

    I think I'm cursed now.

    I will say that I am a bit disappointed that you would laugh at someone's pain like that. Yes, she was a little crazy for thinking that the rapture is going to happen today, but that doesn't mean that her beliefs in general were crazy. She was clearly distraught at the idea, and I would be too if I thought that the world had really been raptured and I had been left behind. Making someone feel pain like that just to get a laugh is disappointing. I'm not meaning for this to be snarky or anything, but I feel like someone needed to stand up for the woman, since she was clearly very upset.

    @SoonToBeeMrsD: I'm a bad person for laughing at someone crazy enough to think that some guy who's falsely predicted the rapture numerous times finally got it right? oookay.

    Her religious beliefs were not why I laughed. I laughed at her gullibility that Harold Camping accurately predicted the rapture when he's been wrong every other time.

    I happen to be marrying a very devout Christian, and he thought it was funny as hell.

    To each their own.
