when darkness falls....
we had a blackout yesterday...i dunno how many pple are affected...i'm sure not the whole kanata was hit...since we went out to eat and there was electricity...hrm...~ anyway, went to a new chinese resturant in kanata~ it's soooooooooo clean! i wonder how long that's going to keep up ^^ there are so many new places in kanata~ man...i don't recognize the place anymore! :P
so anyway~ at nite, I started burning candles~ and i pulled out all my candles once again ^^ i ran around the house with a flash light and oh, what a weird feeling! cuz normally when i have a flashlight i'm outside...at camps ;P and now i'm walking on carpeted floor and walking by a dot of light...kinda feels like a theif when i started going through my drawers to find the candles...haha~ the joy of using a flash light...hee hee~
it was fun at first, but then i realize how horribly reliant i am on electricity and how much i took light for granted ;P i keep going around the room flipping on the light switches without thinking, then realizing what a stupid thing that is to do when there's no electricity…flip it back~
i sat in the kitchen with four candles burning, and kinda just stared at the flam for a while...then i decided that i'm gonna play piano ;P hahaah~ and that i did~ i brought the candles into the piano room and set them around the room then i sat down and played ;P and oh my goodness, it was AWESOME! i guess it kinda got something to do with the piece that i was practicing at the time….
....it sounded a little morbid...a little sad...very mysterious…like a thunder cloud creeping over the earth ready to curse the land with a thunder storm...the black notes, seeminly dancing on the pages with the help of the flickering candle light...the dim ray from the candles faintly cast a shadow of my fingers onto the music and the piano...making my fingers look really long....and they danced...not elegantly like dragonfly dipping the water...but like a spider...like a spider wrapping its prey...with my imagination, came a thunder storm outside with the wind and rain rapping against the window pane~ along with the storm, there came beethoven in his later years writing music with candle lights...writing the sonata…the sonata that i myself was playing....the music travelled thru the empty house and ended with a bang on a magnificent chord ....then silence and stillness...except for the flickering of the candles lights.….
*breath*
i got so facinated, i stopped playing and got my camera ;P and took a few pictures ;P i don't know how it'll turn out....even tho it is on a digi cam...but i had no way of checking it since there was no electricity so no computer ;P hee hee~ anyway, after playing with that for a lil while, i went to take a shower...and since it's really DARK, i took out my candles from my birthday (there are sooo many of them!) and since i never use them, i thought i'd have some fun ;P i lit 7 candles and lined them in front of the mirrors~ and with the reflections, it's like having 14 candles lit! ;P hahah~ then something caught my eyes ;P Q-tip cotton swabs ^O^ hahahah~ so i took one and lit it on fire ;P it burned and burned and burned, and then sloooooowly dies out~ it dies out in the coolest way! and then i dipped the burnt q-tip into the wax ;P and ooooooooooh man, cotton swabs makes really good torches ;P hee hee hee hee hee~ anyway ;P i did this over the sink with water readily availble ;P so no harm of a fire :P
went to bed really early~ at around 9:15ish~ cuz it was so dark and there seems nothing to do expect sleep (or play with fire)...and the latter doesn't seem to safe ;P haha~ so i went to bed~ sitting in bed and blowing out the candles entering into complete darkness....that was definitely something new ^^ makes me think about little women...i dunno why ;P
ok, I seriously did not meant for this entry to be this long ;P I better stop ^^…~
