So these last few days have not been fun.

Allow me to elaborate.

Yesterday, the motherfudgeing lights got shut off, due to a minor blunder of my father's. No electricity, no AC, no lights, no nothing.

I figured, whatever, I'll just light a candle and read Order of the Phoenix again.

Happily ensconced in the world of Harry Potter, I at first fail to notice the brushing sensations against my left cheek, and my hand. It isn't until I actually see the DADDY LONGLEGS scampering across the pages of my book that I realize there's another spider on my hand, and yup, you guessed it, on my FACE. Except it had progressed to my mouth.

Apparently, my house is so old that an unknown number of creepy crawlies reside in its walls, and choose to emerge only when the structure is submerged in complete darkness, when the only light emitted is that of a candle, while a seventeen-year-old girl is trying to read -_-

Naturally, I panic. I screech, fling the things off of me, and actually rip off half my clothes in the search for more long-leggedy beasties. Once assured that I am free of harm, I charge out of the living room, into the shed where my father and Lenny are (the good news is, mum's in New York for the weekend) and sob, HYSTERICALLY, that I can't do this. I babble that I'm leaving for the night, and take off.

I figured I'd go to Will's. So, I walked ACROSS TOWN to where he lives, dismayed to find out that his house is dark and there aren't any cars in the driveway. At this point, I'm like "FUDGE IT!" so I decide to go to Jen's place, because she lives right by, and there isn't anyone on her porch for once. So, I go to the lake. I sit in the grass, and cry some more. After awhile, I calm myself, (because the lake looks like the Inferi lake)but then I hear motherfudgeing GROWLING from the bushes, so I run like a ho.

After ten minutes of debate, I knock on Jen's door. Her parents let me in without question (they were actually REALLY cool about it) but Jen, Paul, Joe, and Sarah were all passed out in her room and just kind of blinked at me when I arrived.

At this point, I'm cold, frustrated, and exhausted, so I just plop down on her floor and watch the news for awhile until more people showed up. (thank god) We all hung out for awhile, went to T-spa when Jen's parents booted us, and Moussa drove me home. He was really nice to me. ^_^ (even though I was sort of drunk. Lol.)

Today, I exhausted my bank account to buy cell phone minutes, and after that came home and read in the dark for a very long while. When my father got home, the electricity got turned back on, and we both sort of did the happy dance and bought BK for dinner. YAAAAAAAY.

And I'm going with Kristin to the cape house, apparently. Double yay, even though I REALLY ought not to be drinking anymore for awhile ^_^
