i need those to see!

So! The power went out last night, and the Wee Sister and I had to haul out the candles this morning. It felt like we were back in Trinidad again, where the blackouts were plentiful. Fortunately, the hot water didn't give out. I just hope the power's back on when we get home this evening, after dinner and karaoke with the Vancouver Posse.

Oh, and the crazed thicket in my icon? That's my hair. I wanted those streaks to be a brighter red, but the initial bleach didn't strip enough color out. Arrrrgh. Anyhow, the icon goes well with the Lance-hair icon, so, yeah.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] chootoy for the picture!

Gah! No power = no good. *wraps Maggie in a blanket* I hope your power comes back on soon.

Thank you, sweetie! The candles have a certain charm, but having hot water and heat is even more charming. *g*

Candles are nice

Hmm... It looked more like part of a painting to me. Must be the way the resolution isn't that high. Looks good, anyway! =)

Iiiiiinteresting. I wouldn't object to being part of a painting. It's nothing like how fascinating Lance's hair is, though. Thank you so much for the icon--I'm slightly obsessed with it and other people keep commenting on it. Whoo-hoo!

Do you want to know what's funny? I SAW the power go out. Richmond suddenly went BLACK and 20 minutes later, all these Hydro trucks went screaming up Knight Street there were cops and firetrucks and I said "gee, I hope the girls have candles". It was cool. Not as cool as escalators, but cool nonetheless :D

That is pretty cool. Cool like planes landing, maybe. *g*

That must've been so trippy, seeing everything go black! It's a good things I have candles of every color stockpiled from my pagan-ish high school days. No vanilla candles, though. Justin would be disappointed.

You go get that hydrolic power thingy, girl! Yeah! I'm right behind you with a baseball bat to back you up!
