Caffeine high...must...write.. paper!

[fredericks]

So...I'm in Starbucks frantically working on my paper because I'm supposed to meet Wincze today when I run into a guy I converse with on occasion. I guess all the Diet Coke and coffee I'd consumed made me chattier than usual, and we started up on the blackout. I tell him my brother's home alone and ask him if the power's up yet. He says no, and then starts up with "You know, I bet you it's a terrorist thing". I stare at him blankly, then muster up a polite smile and say "Wow, aren't you cheery". I try to get him to shut the hell up and tell him I was planning on going back down for the weekend (I was, before this happened) and he says "Oh, don't wanna risk it now". Again, blank stare then forced chuckle. He then goes on and on about what might possibly happen.

::deep breath:: You ARSEHOLE!! Way to assuage my fears. Now I know why I avoid you like the plague.


I sure hope Wincze is stuck somewhere without power (pleasepleasepleaseplease). *le sigh*

Antidote.

I, on the other hand, think that everything's going to be fine.

That you had to call it up in the first place says it all.

Thanks though.

Yes- it says that I want to help an upset friend by pointing out that the oddsmakers in Vegas say that your brother is fine and will continue to be so. A large portion of homes now have exclusively cordless phone handsets- these are useful only for crushing insects in a blackout.

And I shall continue to assuage until such point as I am proven right.
