There is a storm here and the lights keep flickering! Also my computer has shut itself off twice in a row now. I should probably stop playing with the odds and turn it off for the night. Fortunately, I'm about to go to sleep anyway.
What do you do when the power goes out? :eek:
Get on EoFF from my cell phone.
I have done this before.Quote:

Deal with it until the power comes back on because I do not have a smart phone.
Go out and see people :onoes:

It's both hilarious and depressing how helpless I feel during power outages.
That said, I was at a friend's house the last time one happened around my area (at a get-together no less), and we managed to have a bunch of fun figuring out different ways to entertain each other, including trying to come up with original games (didn't work), having each of us try doing stand up comedy (horrifying), and getting drunk as hell (totally worked).
EDIT: I just remembered the power going out while I was writing an essay. This was before Microsoft Word came up with the whole 'recovered files' thing, and I was too stupid to save it. Mood ruined. :(
Try to watch something on my laptop until it dies and then go to bed being freaked the smurf out because electronics help me sleep better.
If it's during the day I could just, you know, go to a coffee shop or something.
It's rarely storming in more than one square mile at a time around here. I go visit friends in another part of town!Quote:

Stand outside and watch the storm LOVE doing that. and or just lay down and listen to the rain/thunder.
Usually if the power goes out for whatever reason I go for a jog. Unless I'm drunk, in which case I go for a leisurely stroll. And end up in some random part of town with no way of knowing how to get home so I have to call a taxi. Almost everyone at YellowCab SA knows me now.
Read a book. Play monopoly. Sleep.
Usually, by this point in the thread, someone has said masturbate.
I don't either. I still go on EoFF from my clunky old phone, because I am just that desperate.Quote:

These days: Laptop/Phone
Old days: sleep
I take the phone bill hit because I am addicted to the internet.Quote:

If it happens now, I probably try and watch something on my laptop until that dies or I'll read a book.
