Hey, Well it's a bit past midnight and my phone line just went dead, I was talking to my dad in Swizterland and it just cut out, that was like 15 mintues ago, and right after it cut out I grabbed a knife and went out side to check around, nothing suspicious, but now I am sitting in my bonus room waiting for the movie that I rented off of itunes to load, with my painball gun right next to me turned up all the way up.... , listening to every noise that happens out side...

It feels like one of those movies that some one cuts the phone lines then breaks into the house and kills everybody, :| .... and well I can't sleep...

^^No, it' actually pretty quiet were I live, but I a couple of months ago there was a mass break in to every car in my street, they got past alarms and all, but all they took was the change in the cup holders and stuff, not the cars...
But it is about 2:00am now and I have been watching Fool's Gold (really good movie, just so you know) , and since nothing has happened, I guess everything is alright, but still just doesn't fell right... and it appears that I am the only one on the street with this happening, ( i texted some friends that live on my street) and once day breaks I guess I have to go to the Phone box and connect a phone directly to it and see whats up...

But still no dial tone.

A couple of possibilities, Payment not received and turned off, Trouble at the switch station, a telephone pole hit and the line was broken, other work damaging the line.

All of the bills are paid on line, and all of the telephone lines are underground where I live, so they last possibility is a switch station, but my internet is working(I get it through the same carrier AT&T) so I dunno. I just checked the box outside my house and the problem is on their end.... So I just have to wait now....
