  3. I'm even turning off my computer! I'll feel so naked without it. But it's better than just turning off the lights.

  4. I turned all my light on, opened the refrigerator, turned on the stove, all my electronics were pumping full blast.. etc.

  6. I did this last year, so was happy to do it again. But you shoulda seen me. Pathetic, actually. What do I do if my computer isn't glued to my lap?? I lit candles. That took 45 seconds. I looked around the dark room. That took 30 seconds. I petted the cat, 5 seconds. Walked outside to see if my neighbors were also dark, then smoked 1/4 of a cigarette. Ate some peanuts. Tried to read Riki Tiki Tavi by candlelight. Gave up. Petted the cat. Did some breathing exercises, which reminded me to go smoke another 1/4 of a cigarette. Let my mind wander. Not a good idea. Petted the cat. Somehow or another, I made it through, because when I couldn't stand it any longer, I picked up my laptop and it was 9:29. Whew. Can't wait 'til next year!

  7. @ dizzblnd - I just hope I remember. Not really, this is my second year to participate.

    @ I hear ya. I often have power outages that can last 10-12 hours.

    @ Mr. Cheeseburger - I'm glad the lights are out especially if you are "feeling naked".

    @ John J Savo - Ok, I understand.....spoiled sport.

    @ Fashionista - Yea!!!

    @ OMyWord - Man, Your hour sounds a lot like mine, except I don't have a cat.
