classes are cancelled after noon today. the tta (my bus) is cancelled after 7 p.m. tonight, as well as tomorrow which is fine because then my school is cancelled all together. and i'm a bit freaked.
last night i spent 10 minutes filtering water and filling some empty containers with. just in case... and this afternoon gene is supposed to pick me up so i can try and find some flashlights and batteries and bread to keep around. i just know the bloody power is going to give out, and i hate that state of complete silence.
i know you're probably supposed to be all "o how tranquil, no electricity, this is how it used to be" but heh, i really, really hate it. it drives me up the walls because i don't have any source of light so i can't read or do anything, there's no music, there's no tv, there's not even a stove or fridge. i'm an electricity junky, simply put.
in fact, whenever the electricity is out for more than half an hour and there's no daylight i end up going to sleep, even if it's 7 p.m. i usualy flick one of the lights on so that when the power comes back on it will go on and wake me up. but that's it.
well, this time it's just pissing me off. hence i've decided to take some precautions, and then just plain ignore it. i'm thinking i'll get a bunch of bottles and stay drunk for the night and sleep all day tomorrow. in fact, it sounds extremely tempting right now. i can just see me now, sitting in the dark at 10 p.m. singing alanis songs like mad and playing with the flashlight ("booo!!")
happy birthday indeed.
