I'm back, and yes, I'm alive.

Ok, this has been the crappiest 5 days ever.

It started last thursday, and I was coming home with my girlfriend in a bad snow/wind storm. First of the season. We get to my house and I walk in, the phone works in my room, and the light works in my room. All the electricity in the house is going to my room alone. I flick the switch on and my light is like the high beams on a car. Bam, light blows. I call the electric company, and low n' behold, they won't come and fix the problem, because the problem in question is a tree (a whole tree) fell on a power line that connects a pole outside my house to another pole that connects to the road. So the power company said it wasn't their problem. So we had to call an electrician, and 5 days and 600 bucks later I have power back. But guess what?

Two Computers, a DVD player, a VCR, 2 Alarm clocks, and some other junk all got fried. And I know what you're thinking "Should have had a surge protector, dumbass!" But I did. Everything was hooked into a surge protector, and when we found the surge protectors, they weresizzled tightly to the carpet. Fun, right? Least my Gamecube is ok....

I'm sick of typing on a crappy little computer at my crappy little friends crappy little house on his crappy little dial up modem....So ok, I'm gone until my DSL gets fixed, and I hook another PC up.

Jeezum...

I hope everything'll be all right for you, Brodie. Thankfully, all that electricity didn't cause a fire. Glad to know you're safe.

Jesus, dude. That sucks the biggest donkey ever. Although Azure has a point about there not being an electrical fire as a result. Bummer though.
