HOLY FUCKING SHIT?!? WHAT THE HELL?!? *Sighs* I am out of power for one day and THIS happens? What the freaking holy shit? I mean, we are a team here guys, couldnt we have made this desicion together? You are looking at junking... MONTHS worth of work and friendships made... because of lack of members? o-O Seriously, that er... pisses me off a bit. I would have at least liked to have been told, you guys knew I would be back online. *Takes a deep breath*
Deep cleansing breaths, deep cleansing breaths...
Its been one Hell of a day... literally. I dont know how many of you heard about Tropical Storm Gaston... not many Im betting. Anyways. High level tropical storm with category one force hurricane winds. I know. Doesnt sound like anything special... but it was! Now I kinda understand how Floridal felt...
Our power went out at about 930 AM yesterday morning. Let me just say you do not know what you have until you dont have it. No weather channel, no radio... no nothing! Just the eyes and the ears. We looke4d out the window to find the rain coming down in sheets, and trees being pressed almost to the ground! And when it finally cleared, debris COVERED our yard. One of our larger trees lost half of its branches. It looked like nature upchucked in our front yard.
And still no power. I called Dreakun to let her know I was all right, before going back in and sitting in my "Thinking Chair." I fell asleep for five hours, was told a bit of Cid's story, and then woke up. No power... and fastly becoming no lights at all. Well, cept for a flashlight. So we all made it an early night... or tried to.
I woke up, feeling flushed and dizzy. See, my room is what used to be a garage. And with no power... there was no fan, no air conditioning. So I got up and literally STAGGERED into the front room. But it was hot there too. I wasnt the only one there either. So was Tresh, who because of the storm didnt get to go back to college yet. Later my youngest sister, now called Rayne, came in. And somehow... we all ended up in nothing but our undies. Three girls... naked. My Dad walked in on us once and I believe the term he used was scarred for life.
The couch tried to eat me, so sleep came in fits and starts. But by some miracle morning came... and still no power. As we discovered, we were just one out of 50,000 homes w/o power! So after dressing in the dark, washing hair in the sink, we all went on the oh so magical eight hour road trip. *Sighs* I do so like seeing Tresh off, but it makes me think upon days gone past and missed opportunities...
And then I come home to this shit. Oh fucking joy. Shoot me. Shoot me now.
