There are many ways to look at life, and one of these ways is to see them as rolls of film, where moments you treasure are recorded on fragile strips of plastic and stored away in the dark recesses of your memory, to be kept safe until the time comes when you will tenderly lift one out and dust away the years to play it for old time's sake. For old time's sake.
This is a particularly difficult roll, one that I would dearly love to remember but one that disintegrates very quickly. So I shall put it here.

It was not a cold and stormy night, and I was in my room talking nonsense with Amy while trying to position myself on the coolest spot on the floor.
The fluorescent light flickered.
And went out.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!
...
Finally! I can use my torchlight! Now where did I put them...
*fumble fumble*
...
Ahah! There you are! Hey, is the whole Akasia out?
*looks out window*
I think so..
*looks out window*
Yeah! They're all out! Behold, people! I have a torch! Look, I have a torch!
*rolls eyes in the dark*
Muahahahaha! Go on, dear housemates. Walk around. I shall light your way. I have a torch. Go on, go on.
*swt* *rolls eyes*
*walks over to window and starts flashing torch at other darkened windows*
I feel like I have the light of Earendil or something... Okay, now I'm bored. What do you do when you have no electricity?
Let's tell ghost stories :D
*sits down on bed*
*gets bored*
*stands on bed to look out window*
Hey... Only Akasia is out lah. The streetlamps are still on. Damn. Not fair.
*looks at temptingly empty and dark surroundings*
*seized by irrational temptation*
TIME TO GO BACK TO NATURE, EVERYONE.
THE MOON SHOULD BE YOUR ONLY LIGHT. oh, wait there's no moon. NEVER MIND.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF TERRY PRATCHETT!
*looks around furtively*
IT'S MISTER h----n's FAULT!
GROPE AROUND!
MY MY, I NEVER KNEW NIGHT WAS THIS DARK!
IN YOUR FACE, YOU AIRCOND-SEEKING STUDY-ROOM PEOPLE!
I'M THE ELECTRICITY FAIRY, AND I QUIT!
The fluorescent light flickered.
And the world was bright again.
*laughs at roommate*
What the... Right after I...
*looks at stupid fluorescent light*
Well, nice timing, you evil sucker! Way to go to boost my credibility! Now I'm retrenched :(
Haih... *rolls eyes*
You think I can work as the Tooth Fairy?

What a way to spend ten minutes of darkness. Gosh I hope it happens again! Oh, and Amy, whenever you want to roll your eyes, make sure I'm there. I want to catch them when they pop outta their sockets. Then I can sell them :D
