The Adventures of the Bored Club

What did we do today? Not much...

Well, that's not entirely true... we just didn't really do anything productive...

I had pretty much no idea what time it was until around 4 pm today... I had no idea what time I woke up, what time the power went out, what time I ate lunch, or even how I managed to kill enough time for it to be nearly 8 pm at night...

I think I woke up sometime around 8:30... maybe 9... but it's hard to tell... I found that everyone else was up and my dad had long since gone into work... Not too much was getting done... My mom was doing a little cleaning and my sister was doing an art project or something along those lines...

I got on the computer (still stealing internet from our neighbors, which I'm starting to feel very guilty about) and logged on to AQ... I had nothing else to do so I stayed on for a few hours......

Then, (no idea what time it was... I think around noon)... the lights turned off... and everything stopped... The power was out.... There goes the entertainment... I knew it was going to be a LONG day...

So, probably 3 hours later, my sister and I had nothing to do... We'd eaten lunch, played all games we had and decided we'd lay on the ground... We don't get along well, but today we shared a common trait... Boredom... Here's how the conversation went:

Me: Caroline, I'm bored...
Caroline: Me too...
(4 seconds later)
Me: Caroline, I'm bored...
Caroline: Yeah, me too...
(a little longer)
Me: Caroline, I'm bored...
Caroline: I know...
(40 times of this being repeated later)
Me: On a scale of 1 to 10..... I'm bored
Caroline: *laughs*
(few seconds later)
Me: *groan*
Caroline: I know...
(a minute later)
Me: Caroline? ...
Caroline: I know, Chris, you're bored...
Me: I was just going to say that I don't know what time it is...
*laughing*

We then proceeded to go upstairs with the dog to Caroline's room because we were so bored and established the Bored Club and had ironically a Board meeting for the club ;)

The whole thing was a total joke and we decided we were going to boredly (is that a word?) chase the dog around downstairs in the dark basement... As we were about to go down to the basement, Caroline noticed her fan was moving.... which meant.......... WE HAD POWER!!! Woooohoooo

Well, we ran back downstairs and jumped up and down celebrating!!! And then, I opened the laptop only to find that I had to wait 5 minutes until the neighbor's wireless router rebooted... *sigh*... So, we went and chased the dog around in the basement anyway and got... you guessed it: bored! I ran back upstairs to find that I had internet... web access... civilization... You don't know how good it felt ;D

*phew*... Only to find out that not much had changed on AQ in four or so hours.... So, I goofed around on AQ for a while until I FINALLY looked at the clock and discovered that it was past 4 pm...

The rest of the day went quickly... (THANK YOU GOD!!!)

And now it turns out that our phone number that we've been giving out to a TON of people is not really our phone number... and we still don't have phone service or our own internet... #^$@* How does that happen? We confirmed it this morning at noon and we've known that was to be our phone number for almost a month.... only to find out it isn't... My mom is pretty heated right now... I feel sorry for the lady on the phone... Cell phone that is... =P

So, anyways... sorry to vent about how bored I was today or all the confusion with the phone....

Moving isn't fun at all =(

Isn't it funny how it takes something like total boredom to have a pleasant memory to share with your sister? ;)
