Okay, today has been an exceptionally weird day... Here's why...

At about 8:30, I got out of the house. My mom and I drove my two sisters to camp, and then we went to the supermarket. We stayed there for a while, to get things for our trip to the shore this coming week... And somehow, we managed to spend about $300. That was creepy enough...

It gets weirder.

When we got home, I noticed that my room had been semi-destroyed. You see, we have two people who clean the house... They're Polish, and understand little to no English. My mom had originally instructed them to clean my sisters' rooms... And they did just the opposite. Instead of cleaning their rooms, they "cleaned" my room... And put it in various states of disarray. My bedside table was all messed up; everything had been put into weird little piles... My dresser... ew. They took everything on it... and pushed it into my top two drawers. You have to understand, however, this is even worse than it sounds. You see, I collect Magic cards. I must have at least a thousand of them, piled up on my dresser... And they were all pushed, carelessly, into my drawer. I still haven't fixed 'em. Also, my computer table, LEGO shelf (When I was smaller, I made tons of LEGO creations by myself, without any instructions. It's pretty cool.), and my trophy shelf were... killed, let's put it that way.

It took me the better part of an hour to get everything mainly cleaned up, and the Magic cards are still messed up.

Of course, that wasn't enough. Later on, my mom went out to lunch with some friends. Obviously, I opted not to come, so I went about business at home. 12:45pm... the power goes out. On a bright, sunny day. What. The. Crap. That was really weird... but I figured that the power company might've been doing routine maintenance, or maybe a squirrel fried itself...

Still not over.

About ten minutes later, I started to hear a loud, beeping noise. The beeps came about every couple of seconds. It was actually kind of creepy... It took me 5-10 minutes to trace it to the source... the carbon monoxide monitor in my parents' room. It was beeping, and on the LED display, it had in red letters, "GAS".

Naturally, I ran downstairs, got the dog, and ran out of the house.

I went to a neighbor's house, told them my story, and went in. Called my parents a few times, and, eventually, I got through to them. Apparently, it had been triggered by the blackout, somehow. Still, apparently, I did the right thing.

A few other things happened during the day... but nothing so weird. But, man! What a day it's been...

And it's not even over yet!

[CongressJon]

Incredibly enough... it got weirder. Maybe about... half an hour or less after I wrote this message, a sever thunderstorm warning very suddenly came onto my ForecastFox thing. And man, did it storm. Then the power went out for yet another five hours and... well, you get the idea.

Yesterday = One of weirdest days EVER.

I was at jeff's house, i got there when the power was out. We did nothing for like an hour, then it came back on and we went to the basement and played guitar/bass. Then it went out. Dayumn. Then Owen came and we played monopoly, then we went to my house where a huge tree had fallen like 100 yards away (Well, two trees), and watched adult swim on demand. Woo.

[Pendragon205]

yeah, one wierd blackout, but still, it was cool.

[Spikeout]

Wow interesting and wierd O_o. Tell us more

Only wierd thing I did yesterday was Yoga... Friend made me it was quite good actually lol.

[Hax the Cook]

Hehe... nice
Blackouts are actually kinda fun. Sometimes

The Monoxide thing would have scared the hell out of me...

[Darkness]

Gas, you mean like someone farted? Actually, that would be insanely freaky. Lucky, you only have a dog. I'd have to run and find my three cats who like to be in different places and never do the same thing 5 minutes, find some way to carry them all at the same time, and also carry a hamster cage I'd like die before I got out of the house >.<

[CongressJon]

Yeah... I finally traced it to that thing, and I saw it beeping. Saw the word, "GAS". All of a sudden, something just clicked in my mind. Basically, it screamed, "GET OUT OF LE HOUSE!" So, I listened to it.

[Pendragon205]

your mind screamed in 7/8ths english 1/8th forgien? what is "le house"?

[CongressJon]

...

The house.

...

No, not really.

[Pendragon205]

lol, i was wondering why you would be speaking forgien

[Star Jedi]

Lol, we used to have a maid for our house. I got really annoyed at her because she always completely disarranged my room for absolutely no reason.. it was pretty clean before she even got there, really What's even stranger, is she thought my parrot would be better off living in the closet, so I freaked out when my bird wasn't right beside my bedroom window when I came back from school Advice: Make sure you tell maids *exactly* what to do on a stickypad (and *just* those things, nothing more ) before you leave the house for work or school.

*nods* I would have freaked out too, seeing as the day seemed like a series of unfortunate events.. A beeping alarm saying 'Gas' is something to take notice too, lol; You did the right thing. Let's just say that was a Gas Drill, and you passed with an A+

[Pendragon205]

meanie, he always gets straight a's

Certainly an odd day to say the least . I'm glad the carbon monoxide threat was just a false alarm .

[Serenarocks]

Me too

I woulda freaked out trying to get my dog and 2 cats out of the house. Plus the cats would run away if i didnt put them in carriers, so that would take like 1/2 an hour... Yah. Plus Id get my sister and grandma out of the house too. Geez.
