Lawl...my first and olny earthquake was super small, but the glass on my windows started making a shaking noise and the fan started to twirl, i was scared like stuff cause i had no idea what was going on XD

So you live a couple hundred miles from the fault.
What if you lived in California?

Death toll? Graphic images of destroyed buildings? A brief anecdote about having to go out to get water because basic infrastructure has been destroyed?
No?
I am downgrading your story from "earthquake" to "minor seismic event".

that part of the earth shook. maybe it wasn't so large of one, but it's still an earthquake.

Semantics aside...
By my measure a wave that does not kill is not a tsunami, a plane losing a wheel on landing but still coming to a safe stop is not a crash and a tremor that does not have a news broad cast featuring grieving families recounting what they were doing when "the fissure swallowed grandma" is not an earthquake.
