    A few hours ago. I like power outages at night! I like walking around with a candle. It thrills me.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D

    few years ago. the lights went out in the summertime thanks to the forest fires. well, it happened just before it got dark. was fun, since i got to light candles and put them in different places. feels like dark castle or dungeon...

    My power went out a couple days ago. That sucked a lot of smurfing butt. I remember the worst power outage I had, was the famous one of 2003 when like millions of people on the east coast lost their power. It lasted a day for me. It was like living in the middle ages for smurfing sake.

    I think the power was out for a few seconds this morning, but I'm not sure because I wasn't exactly awake at the time. XD

    I remember a few years ago, we had to have classes in the dark because California was going through the whole rolling blackouts thing. That wasn't pleasent.

    If the power went off this week, I would just lay down the ground and die. Because it's so hot here that if the AC wasn't working, you might as well just DIE.

    Power outages are actually kinda neat, especially if there's a thunderstorm outside. Creates a cool atmosphere. We haven't had those in years though.
    When it comes to brownout and outages lasting just a few seconds, they're annoying. Not as annoying as they used to be though, because I have a laptop now. :]

    we had a brown out (or whatever) a few weeks ago. I woke up, went downstairs and went online.

    Boom, everything goes out. I stare at my brother, and we go upstairs. I check the fridge....ZOMG POWER BACK.

    I play video games for the rest of the day.

    It blinks alot around here. I'll just wake up about a few times a month and the clocks will all be blinking.

    We had one power out during the last super bowl (but I hate football, so who cares?) and another while my brother got past this hard part on his game...he was pretty upset.
