when there was a power outage on my birthday

Boy, today was… kinda sad.

First, I found out Na and Kristie couldn’t come to my dinner tonight. 🙁
Dropped my film off at walgreen’s before going to work, and told them I wanted next day instead of one hour. Then I got to the car and thought, well, why couldn’t I pick it up before heading to dinner? I’d have time, that walgreen’s is pretty much right next door to The Melting Pot. So we called up there and had it changed to one hour and that made me happy, ’cause I’d get to look at some of my DCon pics over dinner.
Work wasn’t bad.

Headed off to school. School wasn’t bad except that my Anthropology teacher insists on going until the LAST POSSIBLE second. geez.
Got out of class and it was “raining crazy.” I had to drive all the way down Summer traffic in rain… I’m not good at driving on summer, I’m not good at driving in rain, and I’m not good at driving in the dark. It was rough. A drive that usually only takes about 20 took 40. So I got to walgreen’s only 10 mins before I was supposed to meet everybody at The Melting Pot. And there I discovered that most of the power in the Wolfchase area was out. So I couldn’t pick up my film!! D: Plus I got soaked running up to the door. My poor little leather sandals are all icky and damp now.

Went on over to the restaurant then, now cold and wet and disappointed. Well – the restaurant had already sent all their employees home ’cause of the power outage. We didn’t get to eat. It was just one thing on top of the other. I had to eat lousy McDonald’s for dinner instead, and that is horrible after getting my taste buds all set for melting pot.

My parents drove me back over to my aunt’s (I’m still staying with my cousin). They dropped me off and I realised I had no pajamas and I didn’t have my fav blanket. No book to read, no movie to watch. AND the internet was out.

I called my parents on their cellphone and told them I was coming home. Screw it, today has been crappy, I want to go home and curl up in my chair with my blanket.
I guess I could… no, I can’t scan my daily sketches in, the other computer is doing that stupid hard drive thing again and my scanner hasn’t worked in a while.
