(no subject)
oh man do i have a lot to talk about. so first of all, i am still without power. i went over to my friend dominic's house in seattle earlier to charge my laptop and cell phone and now i am leeching off of a close by wireless network. since ive been home the power has come back on twice. the first time it was on for 5 minutes. there was a loud explosiony kind of noise, and it quickly went back out again. then it was on for about 15 minutes, and just recently went out again. so disappointing. for hanukkah, we got a nintendo wii, and all we want to do is play it. and we got to for about 5 minutes. oh well.
so i went to the seahawks game with paige on thursday night. it was a wonderful experience. we left early and walked around the exhibiton center and picked up a bunch of free shit. i got a hat, a blanket, a couple bags and some posters. all for free. i ran into sam adkins (he does the pregame show on the radio) and we talked for a bit. i stood next to warren moon too. paige and i had some pretty good seats. although we were relatively high up, we could see everything perfectly, but we were completely exposed to the pouring rain and powerful wind. i was literally blown back by it a couple times, and my hat flew off too. and even though the seahawks lost, paige and i had a great time....my throat feels like i swallowed glass though. ill post pictures of it somewhere eventually.
so the storm really kicked in as soon as we got home from the game. after an astonishing quick trip home (it only took 2 minutes to get out of the parking garage...a parking garage i have spent hours trying to get out of before...and there was very little traffic) paige and i ordered pizza. when we left to pick it up, the power was still on. when we got home, it was dark. my family, minus miles, paige and i played monopoly for a while. that was a lot of fun. during our game we heard a really loud cracking, crashing noise. it was a tree falling over. when it was time to sleep, my mom made my sister sleep in the living room and miles sleep on the couch just in case a nearby tree fell over. we all thought she was just being paranoid...until we saw the tree. the whole thing was swaying, from the ground up. we knew it was bad news. i had to move my car to the top of the driveway just in case...still, i though, theres no way a tree would fall on my house........i was so wrong. we woke up the next morning and the tree had uprooted completely. but the way it fell was so lucky for us. it missed my brothers and sisters room by inches, and even if i hadnt moved my car, it wouldve been fine. it had gotten halfway caught on my roof and gutter and then kind of propped itself up on the ground. i dont know how to explain it. all i know is that a tree fell on my house. and not a small one. crazy crazy.
i really want the power back. it was really cool though coming home from seattle tonight. driving across the 520 bridge was nuts. it was like i was driving into nothingness. completely dark.
i just want to play my wii.
