okay, i'm not gonna wait for xanga to come back on.... i'll just blog on this. this is history. 8/14 blackout of 2003. and i survived it! hahaha... although i didn't nearly walk half as much as others... mr.sweaty walked from manhattan all the way to queens center in 3.5hrs!! craziness! my mom's worker's husband walked 5hrs back to glendale... and missmamacita's dad walked a record 7hrs back to jamaica estates!!!!! that is the most crazy thing i've heard!!! since i don't have my journal... it's packed away somewhere... i must write this down somewhere...
so this was my story: blacked out while i was working... didn't have lunch that day cuz i was crazy busy... maybe God wanted me to take a break? but anyways... so i started walking with my coworkers to a phone booth... and went to check if ruthie was still around... thank goodness i saw her coworkers... ruthie went to look for me... and then we finally found each other and walked down to gina's place by 7pm... then had a candle light dinner... vienna sausages, rice, and tuna! yah! hahhaha.... then ruth's crazy high energy friends wanted to go out and walk around in the dark... i just wanted to stay in the apt, but i went anyways... meanwhile my joints were all swollen... walked from 18th and park all the way to 34th and 9th... then passed out at someone's place... i have no clue who they were... but i just passed out... while the rest of the group went to times square to party it up some more... then went back to gina's and passed out... next morning after breakfast, we started walking again... to chinatown to find those lil chinese buses... $2! sooo cheap! and we found gentle bastard at the bus stop also! God is soooo great!!! cuz gentle bastard lives in flushing and then drove us home! so nice!! after i got home, first thing i did was brush my teeth. sooo gross!! and then took a shower in the dark... and in the middle of my great cold shower... screaming outside the bathroom... everyone was cheering cuz the power came back on... whole block was clapping for joy. AH! I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!!!!! I can't live without it! I wonder if this is a sin? We're so dependent on it!!! I'm soooooo thankful for technology. THANK GOD we're all okay. yes, we've survived it. and now, i'm ready to tell my kids I walked the whole manhattan island. barefoot. in the dark. and no food.
