Most of Monaghan (and probably the rest of Ireland) is being battered by a big bloody storm today.
For two hours earlier on the power went out. I spent the time lying on the couch, in the dark, listening to my iPod.
Whether my sanity would've survived is another matter. Luckily the power came back on just a few minutes ago.
So what do you do when a power cut hits?
Eat.
A whole two hours? :)
We had two power outages this month. One lasted a day and one lasted four days. During the last power outage (and every other power outage), I lit up about 20 candles and sat in front of my natural gas fireplace so that I wouldn't freeze. Thank God for natural gas. I also caught up on my reading while listening to the radio telling me that others probably wouldn't get their power back on for a week. :cat:
Can't see what you are complaining about, honestly. :rolleyes2
Here we have power just about 4 hours a day, so we spend about 20 hours with no power at all, thus we have to use power generators, but still those wont work forever.
So basically at my house (and it is an acception cause we use the generator alot) we have power from 5 PM until 12 AM. that's all. And somedays we have nothing at all if the generator decides to suddenly stop working.
I do that, but I cry, too. ;_;Quote:

Most of the time, I read and eat. xD
Curl up in the foetal position.
Riot.
During a power out, I sit there and think about how bored I am :(
I make youtube videos expressing my anger.
Continue using the internet, unless the phones are also out... Charged laptops ftw! Didn't even notice the last power cut I had until I saw my VCR had reset and my dad appeared with a torch (I sometimes sit in the dark with nothing but my computer or laptop on...) :(
I could possibly live. I live in a subarban town.
My friends are next door, I can walk to work and practices, so Im pretty much ok. Unless I'm talking to someone important, then I sit there and get mad, or I take a bath/shower, then I go outside with my friends and walk to the store in the rain. Theres alot of interesting people to talk to there:)
Read, eat, draw, play with boy and friends. ^^ Sometimes I think a little power outage would be good for me, will take me away from this ebil computer more :3
Showering in the dark = sad panda.Quote:

I can't remember the last power outage I had.
I had a lantern in the dark:eek:Quote:

This huge storm hit the area a couple weeks ago, and we had no power for a week. I ate, read, and slept. Even after our power was back, we had no telephone or internet service until today.
We also ended up tagging along with my dad and heading to Portland, where we stayed at a warm hotel for a day.Quote:

I sleep. I'm like bats or something.
usually, i head outside. there was a longer one in 2003 where my brother and i set up candles around the house.
I read, eat, sit, attempt to do my homework, and one time I played Monopoly. That was a really bad power cut
I look for the candles and a big book. One time, me and my siblings had fights in the dark. That was interesting.
