worked 2.07 hours tonight. fantastic. i don’t even want to bother going in tomorrow, it’s going to be the same thing.

so the power went out around 1:30 this afternoon while i was in the middle of conversing with carolyn and eric. sorry guys. it flicked on and off 2 more times, then on again for a minute. so i turned my comp back on, only to have the power go out again once windows was loaded….i went to work at 3:30 and the power was still out. it’s weird when you don’t have electricity. it’s not the same as just like, going to a cabin in the woods for a weekend either. i had no computer, so that took away most of what i do all the time. mom couldn’t do laundry, had to cook dinner for me on the grill, couldn’t do internet shopping…couldn’t use the bathroom cuz there’s no window haha. mom mentioned how hard it would be if terrorists knocked out american power supplies…it’d be rough. and i don’t mean the whole lack of tv thing, cuz i could totally easily live without tv… and i could live without my computer and the internet…but it’d be so hard to go back to relying on real mail to get information and communicate with people. and even that would be effected, because we rely so much on automation, without power we’d be completely helpless. snail mail would hardly even work anymore, they’re so automated now. it’s kinda scary to think how much we rely on machines instead of humans…

anyway. nate called sometime between when i went to work and when i got home, but called him back and he’d just left with his mom. the note left for me said he wants to do something tomorrow. since i’ve been getting out of work at 6, that’s before his family is even done with dinner, so i’d have to go home first before we did anything. haha. i think it’s funny how as soon as i walk in the door mom tells me nate calls, but for anyone else, it’s hours before she remembers that someone called for me. i got out of working on saturday. i was going to call in but i figured i’d at least offer it to kristen first, and she took it. so saturday night will be out with eric and tiffany…friday i might torture myself, and me and nate could go to work for band night – dave matthews tribute band – so we can hang out with mike and kristen before nate leaves. there just isn’t any time left for the 4 of us to do much of anything else. kristen works on the days i don’t, even tho that hardly matters since we get out so early. one of the retail girls is having a girls night out thing for her birthday dec 7th. she’s trying to get a limo and everything, so that’ll be fun. i think saturday i’m going to make go break and enter with me. he keeps…dodging it every time i bring it up. i asked my mom if she knew where it was today, and she’s like yeah, it’s a bad neighborhood. don’t go down there, you can’t get inside anyway. i didn’t even tell her what i wanted to do, just asked where it was. yeah, i’m so going, and i’m so totally making nate come even if i have to trick him and not tell him what we’re doing. of course, if i wimp out, fishy wants to go and explore before/after our cleveland roadtrip in the spring.

i’m friggen freezing. mom made me take the gallon of water off the roof, so now it’s blah room temperature. i might put it back on the roof for a while. i’m starving, need food. oh yeah, that reminds me. mom’s latest decision about diseases i have is that i have diabetes.
