"Blackout"

"I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. "

-David Bowie

This was my status this morning on Facebook and trust me, it was more than accurate. Let me note that I was utterly irritated when the power went zap, especially because I was applying eyeliner in the dark, and a Groucho Marx mustache is not exactly pleasant to have in the morning and it's horrible to try and get rid of in the dark. I later discovered school got canceled so I carried my good looking, dressed for nothing self back to bed and got a call from my aunt who picked me up from my dorm with no power (but running water, which was odd, seeing as I had to pee in the dark) and thus, 3 hours later, my aunt's nanny came to get me

So now I'm eating mozzarella cheese after having been sprawled in my aunt's house with a complaining cousin who was apparently sick but has done nothing but gripe (and not look sick) for the last few hours.

There are rumors of potential snowfall but where I live, I have more chances of running into Elton John singing Miley Cyrus songs in front of City Hall than even seeing a flake of snow so I'm not holding out.

Life goes on and maybe I was a bit irked that I had to wake up early but I may as well enjoy it.

Pretty soon, it's gonna be back to flip flops and shorts and ponytails. Right now I'm getting good use of my boots and my beret and my famous purple sweater. When I get back to my room, hot chocolate is calling me... and Mark will be here today!

This is a great start to February. The groundhog predicted an early spring and yet class got canceled because South Texas can't handle cold weather. I get up and put my girly nature to good use (only to have my next door neighbor see me with a roller in my hair) and to be seen more by my sick baby cousin.

When it all comes down to it, it's unorthodox and clearly not working out but either way, it's perfect.
