I'm sure y'all have been hearing way too much about this from all over, and even from me, but... well, there's obviously a hurricane a-comin'. The sky's a flat, solid shade of gray, and even though it's a light gray... it looks ominous. Quite. The wind's kind of varying, from nearly still to high enough to whip around even the decent-sized trees. ...Well, most of the trees in the area are pretty young, and not all that big, but still--it's odd to see even the plants near the ground thrashing from the wind.
It's near-still right now. I wonder how much longer I'll be able to keep my dear system up? I really don't want Spirit-of-Fire to go down. We have a surge protector, and nothing's plugged into the computer that's not also hooked up to the surge protector, but still.... hm. There aren't any potentially system-damaging dangers from having a cable modem, right? The power is plugged into the surge protector, and... well, the cable itself can't fuck anything up, can it? Bwuh.
This is gonna sound a little sad--yesterday, I went up to Mobil with a bit more money than normal, so I could stock up on Sour Skittles and Snapple. XD Only one bag of SS left, though... Bah! I'll have to make it last! /sob
(SS makes me think "Soldier Skeleton"... XD I want an SS card... /sob but those matters are strictly RO-related, so I shall hush up, eh? eh?)
Uhm, uhm... let's see...
if the power goes out, I've been ordered to consume as much ice cream as I can. XD (We bought a lot... RIGHT before we heard there was gonna be a hurricane. /sob If the power goes out, then the poor ice cream...! /omg)
...Yeah.
No one's really on at noon... harruuum~
I think I'll go play video games, and pray the power doesn't go out while I do it. e.e; Because that would suck. ... If/when the power goes out, I think I'm going to turn off the strip and unplug my baby from the wall, to keep it safe-er. I do NOT want my comp fried, you know? Safety, safety~
...I'm hungry... so yeah, gonna play games, and get food, too. ^^
(our over in gas, thankfully--this means, if we want, we can boil pasta during the storm! XD ...of course, wasting our water supply like that might be dumb, depending on how things go. e.e We have a couple gallon jugs full of water, and... just... generally 'some more'? ^^;
I hope school is closed tomorrow, too. XD ...YESSSSS. My prayers have been answered!

Howard County public schools and offices are closed Friday, September 19 due to weather conditions associated with hurricane Isabel. All evening activities are canceled through Friday.



huzzah. Fufufuuuu. =x=
I don't know what else~ I had a weird dream last night, involving the Ban vs Raitei fight. Don't remember much... but it was weird. o__o; I really wish I could remember it better... /sob
Yeee-es.
ok!
