2 hour Blackout

LALALALA.. Hi Mr. Hainstock,
I have a question, If you were to not have electricity in your house for a good 2 hours, how would you deal with it?

A few days ago, during the long weekend, im not quiet sure what day it was, but most of Ambertrails and other areas experienced a blackout. It lasted about 2 hours. OH BOY.. it was weird. In my house, basically once everyone is home, there is always someone on the computer or laptop.. watching television or just cooking. When i got home at around 8:30pm from a friends house, i noticed how most of my area was pitch black out. People were just outside while it was drizzling, just flashing people with their flashlights and trying to find any light source they could find. hahaha. It was pretty funny.
In these sort of conditions, my mom usually store candles and a lighter in one drawer in the kitchen. We placed candles all around the house and set up a big lamp that we use for camping in the middle of the living room. When an hour passed by, all my siblings and my mom would talk about how lucky we are to have electricity and how people that dont have any electricity have to basically spend more time together... just like how we were all just sitting in the living room together and just talking. It was weird to me because I never experience this kind of bonding anymore lol.
Mom was also joking about if our food from the refrigerator gets ruined, she wanted to sue the hydro company LOL. No electricity was boring. I wasted my time using the laptop as a charger for my blackberry. I was desperate. Haha!
Well, thats all i pretty much wanted to say. Just wanted to share (:

So, we just finished the long weekend... Now were back in reality. To be honest, I kind of felt dumb over the weekend because I have been spend my weekened doing nothing. Lol. Im hoping I do well on my history test this Thursday. Mr.Allard is a nice teacher and all..but the people in my class are really boring. They don't really show much respect for him which I feel really bad .. Hahaha. Well I'm done now. Byee
