Today was very cold. There was strong wind and I lost power for a fair deal of time.
I played Lord Shaddox Mode in chess and he won a tight victory. He begged to stop being called ``that", but the people spoke. Jevin, meanwhile, lost utterly on the board while whispering claims of an alleged "plan"; the existence of this "plan" has yet to be confirmed.
Me and Wooly played Smash Bros. Wooly likes the big, round, pink characters and a strange Mii fighter. I won a good few matches as Little Mac, Ness, and Samus.
Only about 10-12 people were on. Some people cammed. Morning was active. Indigo did some pretty swell karaoke, allegedly.
I changed my phone number yesterday. My stalker somehow found my new number. I wrote a lot of legalese emails and also bought some ice cream.
A strange thing happened: I bought some ice cream. Even though I haven't ate it or craved it for years, I woke up wanting it.
Managed to make it to a store and back before the lights went out. The shopkeeper (who is also a neighborhood bartender) told me I was silly for saying the power would go out. About 20 minutes after I returned with two ice cream bars, two of my favorite alcoholic drinks, two energy drinks, and two Hostess orange cream pies, the lights went out. I enjoyed listening to my FM radio wrapped up in blankets while I heard all my stay-at-home neighbors respond to losing power. Things were comfortable. I had plenty of food, my phone was fully charged, and to prepare, multiple layers of clothing had already been put on.
Gemini -- the twins -- suitable day to buy all those things. My cell network dropped below 2g, though, due to the power outage. My phone and radio kept screaming emergency alerts, sothe phone was shut off. The radio stayed on and is charging now. The radio's music added a great sense of emotional input to the space.
