So last night around 7:30 we lost all power in the neighborhood. I was in the middle of playing WoW, we were doing a raid, and I'd gotten maybe an hour of sleep in the last 24, and I was praying to God that it would just end already so I could go to sleep. Who knew God was listening and ready to answer my prayers so readily? He never does that when I ask for a million dollars.
I called both
sarea_okelani and
akscully in an attempt to explain my abrupt absense from the raid, but one was out of her house, and the other ignoring her phone. So I sat alone in my house in the dark like a dog until
ropo came over and we took a dip in the pool.
Seriously, I'm not meant to live without electricty. I'm not one of those women who should have been born in another time -- I was in the middle of an Alias fic for the
Dearly Departed Ficathon and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't get to it to finish it up, and I couldn't check LiveJournal, or look over my work in progress novel, or play WoW, or waste time on Yahoo Games, or obsessively check my email, or my guild's forums, or read fic, or, or, or.
*holds you all tightly*
*goes back to polishing up fic*
