So, despite the fact that more'n half this corner of the country is out of power... we lost ours for maybe thirty seconds, if that - Daf said their power dimmed, but never went out; our microwave was blinking and my pc'd restarted, but yeah. It's freaky tho cos like, the other side of the *street* hasn't got power, but we do. (This isn't the first time this's happened, tho - we're on a different power company, I think we're on RG&E and the rest're on Niagara-Mohawk, which I know's the one that's out.) merani-chan and I were at mom's, about to eat dinner, and the power went out and it got dim and very very quiet. Called the grandparents and they had no power, but grandpa had a radio and'd learned that it was all over... Mom called matantis whod' gotten home from work fine - the traffic lights were out but he'd come home on the expressway anyway. And we had power at home. So we were like, well, ok then.. *laughs*
But I was mad-worried about Megs cos I knew she'd've been on her way home when the power went out, and we'd heard about people getting stuck in subways and all this dreadfulness and Megs is SICK! and has had a very angsty few days! this shite can't all happen NOW! *grrrr* *hisses*
So I called a few times, finally got hold of her about an hour ago.. she *did* get stuck in the subway, and had to walk, in the dark, and wound up in a strange neighborhood and had to take mad-crowded busses and it wasn't cool. And she couldn't find her boyfriend, so since I have internet and she doesn't, I looked up a number for her and she's trying to figure out where he is... (she knows he's ok tho at least cos she talked to him briefly earlier and he was like lost in the midst of manhatten and it wasn't cool but yeah.)
And merani-chan and matantis are making fun of me cos I was all worried about Megs, but I doubt if *they'd* like it very much beign stuck in the midst of a bigfriggin'hugecity with no power and sketchy ways of getting home and not knowing where your significant other is and-- blah to them anyway. :p

So, am waiting about for awhile to see if Megs calls me back... phone's in my room anyway, s'all good. 'Course, I'm supposed to *sleep* tonight cos the grandparents are taking merani and I to Niagara Falls tomorrow... (great timing, ne? not only's there no power, one of the suspected causes was lightening hitting/a fire at a plant up that way.)
