Black Out

I swear, it was scary. Around 10 pm last night all of the sudden all lights and everything else electronic went out. Rhiannon and I both do not like the dark so we were holding hands in complete darkness trying to find some light. We found a lighter, that didn't work and some candles that were burned out. We got to light one candle and use that to find some more. So one big thing on the shopping list is, candles... We found 5 candles in total and made due with that. All you can really do is sit around and wait for the lights to come back on. We were so bored after a while, that we played I spy... seriously...

Rhiannon was going to pick up Cale from work around 11.30 so we waited around till then and I told her I was coming with her. No way was I going to sit around in a darkened house with nothing to do all by myself. They say that the crime rate is highest during a blackout... So we drove to the harbor and picked up Cale and when we got back the lights were on again, thank god. I hate blackouts. Not being able to just put a light on whenever you want to see. You couldn't even see your hand when holding it up in front of your face, it was so dark...

It makes you miss a lot of things too. No wonder people went to bed so early in the olden days. You can't watch TV, because there's no power. You can't read, cause there isn't enough light. All you can do is sit and talk and play stupid things like I spy which wasn't a big success for two reasons. One, it's a lame game. Two, you couldn't even tell the colors apart because of the darkness. Seriously....

Rhiannon just left for one of her last days of work at Harbor Excursions. She's cruise-directing this one and then she works tomorrow morning for the last time before starting her new job on Tuesday...

We had gone to Sea World two days ago and I got to see Shamu... The famous killer wale. It was nice... The weather was great. As it is today. But seriously, yesterday it came poring down like there was no tomorrow. It only happens a couple of days a year here that it rains and storms so much. So I guess people here appreciate the bad weather more than we would back in Holland.

Later that night (on Thursday) I went to a Mexican club called Dolce with Dave. A good friend of Rhi's with whom I can really get along great with. It was an Okay club I guess. I'm more the bar kind of girl and not really a club goer. But it was sort of both. They had some live-bands and after that they played techno. I was just lucky to be able to get in seeing as in I am underage here. But a friend of Dave, named Dave (go figure) got me in. Apparently he goes there every weekend and knows the guys that work there, so he can get anyone in. The people there were so slutty though. Seriously... The girls wore dresses that didn't even cover there asses and the guys... let's just say if we were in a comic-strip and there were thought balloons. All the guys would be thinking, 'I'm the man'.

We were planning on going to TJ on Friday, but there was some big shoot-out near the area where we wanted to go and two cops were killed, so we decided to take a rain check. Not a good plan to be going there when all kind of shit is going down... So I don't know when we are going now. Will have to set a new date, because we're only going with Dave seeing as in he's Mexican and all and knows Spanish. That would help a lot. TJ isn't the safest place for two girls alone. Or any number of girls as a matter of fact. But still, I want to see it.
