flyboy_foxWhy is it that the power never once went out in the two years Jei and I have lived here, but less than 5 days into her being gone for two months it decides to go out for a whole night?
D: So... I'm just talking with her online and stuff, and then VROOOoooooooo.... (my impression of stuff powering down). Lights go out, everything dies, plunged into pitch blackness at somewhere a little past midnight? At this point I should mention, since this all seems rather mundane and inconsequential, that Jai is absolutely SHIT TERRIFIED of the dark. Yay. So... Jai freaks out, grabs flashlight, attempts to find source of problem. Power comes back on about two minutes later, only to die about 45 minutes later and... stay dead. Jai freaks big time. No light, no internet, no kettle (no tea!), completely cut off and ALONE. Jai phones power company, who say they can't send an electrician out 'til morning. Jai texts Jei, Jei helps Jai to calm down a little and call her, Jei stays on phone with Jai until 4:30am Jai's time (11pm hers) when the sun finally starts to come up. As soon as it's daylight, what happens? Power comes back on of course. Jai flails and runs online to type up this horrific ordeal onto LiveJournal.
Well fuck.
I'm a pussy. :( The only thing I fear more than the dark is thunderstorms. And maybe spiders. And balloons. Yeah. Balloons. JAI BE HARDCORE.
FFFFFF 5:10am. CURSE YOU, POWERCUT!! This is why I can't have nice things. Like sanity and a calm mind.
NB: Amy, Matty - I'm so sorry for disappearing mid-conversation on AIM. I was really enjoying our chats :(
