If there's a storm I'll go watch it. Other than that I light candles and read.

I don't like blackouts... I was in the big one back a few years ago...
It was 90 degrees out and humid for the 5 days that the power was out!!!
I usually play my DS and light some candles nowadays...
And chat with my mom. That always helps. ^^

This is kind of weird to say but what if you had a rave at your house during power outage? xD

You had a stereo/boombox/CD player that also ran on batteries, a bunch of fancy glow stick items, and funky techno music. 8D That would be epic.

That would be AMAZING!!! Party at your house!!! XD

When I was a kid, power outages were really fun, because we'd be in our pajammas and we'd gather up all of our board games and toys and some snacks and blankets, and our family would sit in the living room with kerosene laterns till the lights came back on. It was always really fun cause it was like a treat for us, we'd get snacks and we'd sit around with our grandparents and our dog, cats and parrot just playing games. Sweet times. Not long ago, even though I had moved out of my grandparents house about a year before, there was a power outage for a few days in my town, so I went over to their house with my games and music, and we all hung out in their RV in the front yard of their house. It was actually really fun.

Sleep or go out.
Sleeping during the outage makes everyone leave you alone. Going out is also good to do too to get them to go away.

Light some candles and curl up under a blanket.

I have a flashlight next to my bed, sturdy little thing. Plus a dozen more located throughout the place close enough to grab at a moments notice. Mainly if its a storm I'm outside in the rain watching it, if not I just sit around. Maybe light a few candles. Really whatever, it doesn't effect my evening to much. Usually a groan of annoyance and I do something else.

thankfully, the power rarely goes out where i live.
BUT, a month ago it went out for the first time ever since i lived on my own.
it rlly sucked cuz we didnt have any candles and me and my bf just sat in the dark for a while, WAAAAITING for it to go back on.
we ended up givin up though and went on a drive to get basken robbens. 8D

RobbyTheReaper 08-12-2009 01:31 AM

i like to play with fire :P or go for a drive and see my friends :) or best one of all find someone with power :P

The Bebe Girl 08-12-2009 01:37 AM

I just play the computer or sleep! (i have a laptop)

Noyzee 08-12-2009 03:53 AM

Scare people...hehehe...
But other than that I would probably read a book or cuddle into my blanket. Something that will calm me down. lol. =3

Secret Agent Matt 08-12-2009 04:05 AM

I'll watch movies on my laptop till the battery dies, or I'll watch movies or listen to music on my iPod

Kawaii Lai 08-12-2009 05:39 AM

PANIC.
xD

silverkittyempress 08-12-2009 05:33 PM

I scream at the top of my lungs first. Then I wander the hallways with a flashlight and pretend there are ghosts everywhere and I'm hunting them.

just-being-me131 08-12-2009 06:10 PM

If the power went out for me I would probably get into bed and try to sleep or sit in my room and daydream until the power came back on.

Tsubasa Rose 08-12-2009 10:03 PM

Sleep- everything i like to do requires electricity of some kind lol

Darkness_Embraced 08-12-2009 10:10 PM

It depends, if it a lighting stormand its pouring and its nightime, ill go for a walk with or without an umbrella (ill do the same if its snowing) if its just a black out, ill just sit somewhere in my house and keep my snake warm =P..
or i scare family/friends

KittyKatastrophe 08-13-2009 03:53 AM

oooo
if i have friends over we like to run around.
one time the power went out and me and my best friend
ran around the house and we were home alone so we used my cell phone to call
these two guys and we played tag in the dark.
sadly the walls wanted to play too....oww.

maglomanic 08-13-2009 04:00 AM

We live in the sticks so the power goes out a lot x-x It was out for over a week once. It was freezing. That time I entertained myself by annoying our puppy by throwing blankets over its head. I was a jerk face watching her trying to get out.
Otherwise I'll try to find the last electronic I managed to charge up. Laptop, DS, music player. I like to read too. Or play Yu-gi-oh cars by myself o-o Lots of options x-x

xxrandom-momentsxx 08-13-2009 04:15 AM

Hm... when ever the power goes out here, usually, the rest of my family and I sit on the floor, in my living room and play a board game or cards.

Flowery Pit 08-13-2009 04:18 AM

I tend to freak out since I really don't enjoy darkness. I'll search for a flashlight desperately and then stay by my mom the entire time. I don't like that eerie-ness of being alone in the dark. o_o
