Let me tell you, this has NOT been a fun few months. I'm very into WWE wrestling, but you probably knew that if you're reading this. I make no secret of it. So a while back, Jeff Hardy was released from WWE, and he's the main character in my fanfiction. (P.S. I am WAAAAY behind on updating now.)
And this lovely blackout was no help either. Picture a gazillion people trying to escape Manhattan while the rest of us are just trying to get back home! The mob mentality was definitely a factor, don't let that Mayor Bloomberg fool you. There may have been some helpful people running around out there but I didn't encounter any! I slept on my fire escape. (I know you're not supposed to do that, but it was hotter than Hades in my apartment, okay? Thankfully, I had frozen some bottles of water the week before for the gym, so I had some cool hydration when I needed it. But it took FOREVER to get the lights back on and I had to exist on rice cakes and peanut butter until they did.
Let's just say I was one pissed off woman for all of Thursday and most of Friday. The damned things are running off 100-year-old technology! How the hell is that technology supposed to keep up with modern electronic devices!?!
I'm still griping. Grrr!
Until next time,
