Electricity
April 08, 2006 08:40:21 PM
     For those of you who do not live in the blacksburg/christiansburg area, there was a god awfull electrical storm last night. So much lightening that it looked like the 4th of july. And complimenting this light show, the storm itself acted like a monsoon. It was raining buckets while blowing what seemed like gail-force winds! Well for the first time in a while, we lost power last night. It was terrible! I had no idea what to do, and I felt so lost. What they say is true, you dont realize how much you take things for granted untill they are gone.
     At first I think i was going a little nutty. I played dress-up and started pretending like we were in Jurasic Park and if we didnt restore the complex's power, the rapters would eat us. My hysteria was not left to run rampid alone, however, some of the other guys got out their survival and paintball gear and joined in. We failed to retake the compound, but we did get out with our lives!
     Much later that night, more guys came over, and one of the brothers dad came by to visit from new jersey. He was pretty cool, he even brought 2 big cases of beer. Nice guy. We were all going to tell ghost stories, but that idea died off pretty quickly, so instead we played a game of trivial pursuit. Not bragging or anything but... yup, my team won. Between the 3 of us on my team, I dont think we missed a single nature/science question, it was sweeeeeet.
     So power was brought back online at 5:30am this morning. I know this because i was violentlty thrown from my slumber by the sudden surge of devices powering back up. I love you electricity, Im sorry I took you for granted, never leave me again :-)
