...isn't gonna be fun.
Power is gonna be out for eight hours.
8 until 4.
No TV, No computer, No air conditioning. All I can do is be on the cell phone and run. Our whole subdivision will be power-less as they "improve" the grid. WTH? And on fall break, real smart. The two days I get off and one of those will be spent with nothing to do. It's not like I can head over to a friend's house, because their power will probably be out too. I could go to my girlfriend's house, but my old-fashioned, conservative parents won't let me if an adult's not there. So it looks like I'll be looking for stuff to do... It's gonna be pretty hot tomorrow to, I think in the 90's, so the house is gonna heat up pretty quickly.
Anybody else had this happen? How did you survive? Haha, I hope you picked up on the sarcasm, but it is gonna sorta suck.

I had the power out at my house for 36 hrs once. All I can say is Gameboy and PSP are the only way I survived.

Haha, yeah I forgot about my DS.
I don't think I'd be as P/O'd about it if I wasn't on a break...

Laptop!! Lol. Find something to do outside, that's what I would do. I suffered from those stupid "rolling blackouts" a few summers ago. The power would go off for like 4 hours or something...it wasn't too bad, whenever the power goes out here (which seams like at leased twice a year) I usually just do stuff outside with friends..Be creative!

My DS also helped me survive when I didnt have power for a week because of an ice storm last winter. I also went into the car with lots of blankets and watched movies. But since its going to be hot that wouldnt be to enjoyable!
Are you going to say who got the quiz right befor you cant use the computer?
