Made a snow angel

    I went Christmas shopping tonight and the whole time the dark sky was dumping snow on the city at an unbelieveable rate. I live in an apartment building with a HUGE front lawn, it's not a nice lawn, it seems to be a lawn that was created when a building was knocked down or something, it's about the size of 1/2 a soccer field but anyway when i got home

    THE WHOLE LAWN WAS COVERED IN A COMPLETELY UNTOUCHED VIRGIN CARPET OF FLUFFY, CLUMPY, PERFECT WHITE SNOW AND ALL SOUND WAS MUTED

    My roommate is studying reluctantly so it wasn't hard to convince her to go outside with me and tarnish the perfection with a snow angel.

    Now I'm dripping all over the apartment as the snow that is stuck to my hair, my pants, and the part of my socks where the upper sock meets the leg melts.

    I got that really cold feeling on the inside of my wrist when snow accidentally gets inside your mitten.

    I've never made a snow angel before.

    one time, on hallucinogens, this guy & i made snow angels. it was in the midwest during a blizzard. we went bounding nude out into the snow & leaped into a gigantic snowdrift. we made a couple of quick angels. the wind was cold & vicious. after making the angels, there was this weird, brief moment where we just stood there, our bodies being pelted w/ relentless snow. the only sound that could be heard at all was a very distant metal highway sign wobbling back & forth in the high wind. it was one of the most desolate sounds i've ever heard. i looked straight up at the sharp, clear, fantastic winter sky. the stars began whirling & spinning. it was so incredibly beautiful...nearly a religious experience. we ran back inside, but stood there in an open doorway, still nude, watching the driving wind & snow reshaping & finally obliterating our angels, our footprints, & any traces of our ever having been there at all.
