My internet went bleh after a lightning storm last night. Then I woke up this morning and NO POWER. I actually ventured outside. It was... scary, to say the least. I had to come to my sisters house to get interweb.
ANYWHO, what do you guys do when you don't have internet, power, and you don't have to go to school or work?
Raid the fridge.
^ that
or I read a book. Whodathunkit.
BUT power is out, all the cold stuff is getting luke-warm.
Sleep.
It's only ever happened once, I woke up for school and tried to put on the light and nothing happened. Luckily it came back in time for me to straighten my hair :thumb:
I read a book.
Absolutely nothing.
I went outside and BBQ'd it was yummy.
Play DS/PSP. If there's enough light to read, I'll probably do that. My laptop as an hour or so battery life so I could watch a couple of episodes of anime or get work done (yeah right xD)
Quickly raid the fridge.Quote:

At least, that's how every single fridge I have ever had has been.Quote:

A few weeks ago the power in my house went off, but only half of the house. It was weird!
It was late, so I went to bed. Otherwise I would have used the internet elsewhere in the house.
I usually sleep/play DS/eat. :jess:
^Word. I'll sometimes read books and muck about with my rabbits.
I usually keep my laptop plugged in, so it's always at full power. This means I have anywhere from 2 to 4 and a half hours of anime or shmups to keep me entertained. :D
Yeah, I use my laptop's battery to keep me entertained with DVDs. I'm limited to DVDs because my external hard drive requires outlet power :mad:
Otherwise I'll read something or play board games with my parents or something.
Powercuts rarely last longer than 5 minutes here. Though back at easter we had a powercut just when we were going to have breakfast. What was going to be a fryup ended up as bacon sandwiches ;_;
Also, it lasted almost two hours so we had to play boardgames :(
I either read or listen to some music.. or something completely different. It all depends.
umm still go about as normal lol
the outside worl aint scarry
infact interaction with other people is rather fun
Music, board games or read. If none of those are available, or take my fancy, then I start going crazy. I rely on technology way too much, it's not healthy.
Since I live with my boyfriend, I'd probably molest him or something. Or go to sleep. ;o
Either play DS or read comic books on my laptop.
Pssh, i read and played legoes when i was but a wee lad.Quote:
