I was hit too. Considering I'm in the New York area and all, and we were without power for sixteen hours or so over by me. Luckily for me I have a Walkman and a steady supply of batteries and burned J-Rock CD's, so I was able to wait it out a lot better than my other family members. XD They were sitting on the couches whining about being bored once it got dark, while I just had my headphones on and ignored them the whole time.
Thankfully I've also got a big box of candles in my closet, including two of those ridiculously large ones with like...five wicks on it. Thus, we had fairly decent lighting, and watching my mom trying to boil a kettle of water for tea over one of those big ol' candles was amusing. Since we couldn't cook, we ended up eating the ice cream that was in the freezer before it completely melted for dinner. In bed by 10:30 and since I wasn't tired at all, I spent the next two hours staring mindlessly at the ceiling. <p><div style="text-align:center">"Hey mother look at me,
I made my connection
As I'm steppin' into heaven
Hey, don't you pity me
I'll put on perfection
As I'm steppin' into heaven"
- Zilch,"Into Heaven"</div></p>
