Benjamin Franklin Style

Things To Do When Without Electricity:
-Light candles
-Tell scary stories
-Have a (pseudo-)seance
-Go to bed early
-Go somewhere else
-Notice that people tend to look creepy instead of pretty when holding candles lower than eye-level
-Panic
-Realize that you don't have lives outside of electronic devices (TV, radio, computer)
-Play games in the dark
-Theorize about life pre-electricity
-Be grateful for other modern conveniences that haven't suddenly disappeared (plumbing, cars, battery-powered devices)
-Plan what to do when electricity returns
-Try to get over phobia of lighting matches
-Eat all the ice cream in the freezer

Things Which Cannot Be Done Without Electricity:
-Work (in my case, at least-- all my work is done on a computer)
-Homework
-Read once it's dark (candle light isn't sufficient)
-Keeping the house's temperature controlled (no AC or heat)
-Packing (once it's dark, at least)
-Staying up late
