Hang out w/ friends? Prepare code fir the next time you… code? Contemplate ways to get electricity back without the government realizing it?

Buy a new laptop so you can kill some of that time? (could get somewhat expensive...)
But seriously, I don't really know. Personally I would Jelvin's advise and hang out with some friends, maybe play a game of poker or something.

I watched two films on my laptop and then one episode of Mad Men on my mums, and then it came back on
Also all of my IRL friends live a 3 hour drive away

So… do you "hang out" with us more than your real life friends?

When I am home and no at uni and if you count replying to stuff on the forum as hanging out then yes

One of my friends lives next door!
Most of my friends live in different places though. Luckily that's what we have instant messengers and cellphones for

Speaking of next door... this one girl that I hate just moved to the floor above me. I'm fairly certain her bedroom is right above mine too
And it sucks even more because every time I go to school she goes too, so I have to go after her, 8:27 and I start 8:30 so I'm always 1-2 minutes late just because of that.....that...COW!

Well sucks to be you in this case then...
Though you could also try leaving before her.

But ... but sleep is evil!
Also we had a power cut last week for 2 days let's just say I watched a LOT of films and read a lot.
Also made a list called:
13 and a half reasons electricity is good
It was originally 101 but when I started reading back over it I realised I could not understand what I had written so ate a sandwich.
Well that's a strange post!

When i have no electricity I also watch a lot of films on my pc ofc. That's just plain obvious!
No, i'm not being sarcastic. And i love elephant trunk sandwiches.

Then it's even more a fail. I guess the tiny text wasn't just refering to the electricity part of the message.
Off topic - are we really going to get into a facepalm battle? That's kind of pointless.
Yeah, I was being sarcastic.
