i'm like a robot

...in that I need electricity to live. I didn't realize I was so urbanized! The power went out for an hour, and I was in pieces. I was desperately trying to heat my take-out curry over a few tealights and a fruit bowl (it was made of metallic wire). At first, I thought I was an urban girl scout, but after that didn't work in the first two minutes, I got impatient and decided that living without a microwave was inconceivable. How can I be expected to wait more than five minutes to reheat food?

I hope this is the closest I come to camping in a while.
