Oh, lord, the glory of power.

Not that I have it yet, mind you. We finally gave up and drove to Orlando because living without power is ridiculous. I'm at my dad's friend Larry's house, and he is without AIM or AOL or any other form of communication, and his computer EATS AIM express, so maybe I'll catch some of you later at my uncle's house. Or something.

The power went out at like, 6 on Tuesday morning, and right now they've only gotten 1/3 of my county back with power, so we figure by next wednesday i'll definitely have power. But if I wait that long I might just commit suicide.

It's miserable.

I spent Tuesday night at Tata's- they have two crazy big generators and we had light and we watched American Pie on her DVD player, and we had a good time, but back home it's just boring. Luckily not hot, though.

I've told most people about my encounter with the scary green lights on the morning of the hurricane, but that's the only good hurricane story I've got. Other than that, we saw about twelve electrical van things going down in the direction of home on our way up, come crazy fallen trees, and some overturned trucks.

I want power. I miss it so much. There are only so many novels I can read by flashlight. There are only so many times my mom, sister and I can read in a circle. (We're currently reading The Da Vinci Code aloud. It's not as fun as you would think.)

I'm grateful that we did so well during the storm- no damage to the house or anything- but I am so depressed without power. And I miss things being normal. I even want to go back to school, which has been cancelled until at least next week.

I was thinking today about how much it must suck to still not have power. We lost power Tuesday night from like, 8pm to 2am, and I was going insane (mostly because I'd been working on a paper when it died, and I got trapped in the office in the dark and nearly had to be crawling!Tessie again).

I'm glad to hear you're okay, and your house/yard and stuff are okay.

Also, the DaVinci Code seems like it would be an awkward book to read aloud with your mom. :P

Oh Madi!! I got mine back last night, but I didn't get home until this morning! I hope you get yours back soon! It's miserable without electricity!!

Madi! Yay! *hugs*

I called and I left a message on your machine (your home machine) -- I guess that's why you weren't there to answer it. :D

Hope all is well and you get power at home again soon!

This is Jess. LJ keeps logging me out. Pisses me off, it does.

I'm so happy to hear from you! I hope your power comes back on ASAP. And I don't blame you, I'd really kind of miss school.

Yay! Proof that Madi is alive and well!

I'm glad to hear that you went through the storm sans anything too disasterous. . . but no power is the suck. -crosses fingers- I hope they hurry and make things right again!

You wound up not being Crawling!Tessie again? That's good.

And it IS an awkward book to read, but mostly because Mom and I know what's coming and we're just hoping we get the awkward chapters and not my poor sister.

That's not FAIR! I hate you!

*cries* My sister has a friend that NEVER lost power. I absolutely loathe, abominate and despise her.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you actually got through to leave a message. Hate. Haaaaaaaate.

If you call and get my dad's voice, make sure to call me ASAP. Because that means power is back.

I miss you too, Hanny. You like, all but hung up on me on the phone. :-P

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

I so miss school. I miss routine. I MISS POWER.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

I live!

And thank you for the good wishes. I need all the karma sent in that direction that I can get.

*gasps* I did not! I was distracted because I was in the living room and people were talking around and to me! I thought you had to go and call other people and conserve phone battery and stuff. I so would've talked longer.

My mom was upstairs when the power went off, watching TV, and I called for help and she eventually came down with candles and saved me. :P

I think I would die laughing if my mom read that one pagan ritual chapter aloud. :P

[snapplesons.livejournal.com]

Well! Then I hate you too! :P Guess who's not going to be stocking that FPL guy now?

[snapplesons.livejournal.com]

Yep, I definitely meant stalking.. hehe ;)
