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 :D

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 :lol:

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 :roll:

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! :evil:

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. :lol:

Yeah, I was being sarcastic.
