How did the Boxing Day TSunami start?
An undersea earthquake caused by the Earth's tectonic plates shifting. Many miles offshore of Thailand is what is known as a Subduction Zone, where one of the plates is slowly shifting underneath another one. When this happens, and the subducting plate makes an unexpected shift, it can have massive geographical disruptive consequences.
The plates are moving very slowly, but even if there is just a shift of a few inches, it can cause earthquakes, tidal waves and even volcanic eruptions.

== == Sounds like you had "lots" of sex indeed. Your vagina might just be freaked out from all the activity and it's highly irritated. Though the itching and discharge may also be signs of a yeast infection. Best thing to do is see your gyno. Good luck! I think that you should go to the obgyn as soon as possible ASAP Sounds familiar to me. Too much friction. Irritated skin susceptible to yeast infection. Will go away after a week. Take a break... this totally sounds like a yeast infection to me. you might want to see a doctor, but don't freak out. try eating a lot of unsweetened unpasturized yogurt, and putting some in side of you. take a break from sugar. i get them from lots of sex too-- usually my period helps them go away because they don't like the p.h. of it. if it really bugs you you can get a kit at the pharmacy, but i would make sure to get a diagnosis from a doctor first.
