Allow me to explain my title.
No one likes the dark. It's depressing and incredibly boring. Light always brings happiness and fun in our lives. So, I imagine for those who do like the darkness, they may also LOVE power outages. But I am definitely not one of them. I HATE power outages. But I hate something even more. The cause of power outages. In this case, that deadly Hurricane Irene! When I was little, I was used to having the power out for maybe a few hours at the most but never for days! Ever since that tropical storm in March 2010, I have accepted the fact that power outages are something to get used to. It has been three days and I am so fed up with it! There is still 19% in my city without power! School has been canceled which is frankly, NOT COOL! Things are falling apart as we speak and those electricians are not helping!
Now, you may be wondering how I am working on a computer if the power is out. Well, I have the privilege to go to my mother's dental office and use her personal computer (thank god!).
And what bugs me even more are those portable generators. I am not talking about those wonderful built in ones but the portable ones that give off carbon monoxide! Now, everyone says that there is nothing to worry about since the generator is kept outside but I am not entirely convinced. I mean I still don't understand how people walk around streets with cars blowing that filthy gas everywhere! Now, I don't know about you, but I don't want to die. So I make sure my brother turns that thing off before we go to sleep or it gets to late. I am definitely investing in a proper generator when I get my own place. One of my neighbors had their generator running all night! Aren't they scared that it may start a fire or break down?!
So, as you can see I really love power outages, NOT! You may think I am a freak and that's okay because I think I am a freak, too!
Wish me luck!
