Often, I wish that I were skilled in photography, that I knew what I was doing with a camera so I could capture the awe and the amazement of the epic snow late Saturday night.
The beautiful snow fall caught us all by surprise, and a great surprise it was. After a hazardous and adventurous trip to Wal-Mart on the snowy and iced roads, my friends and I bundled up and charged the midnight snow as if we were kids again. We basically were kids the last time it snowed like this. This area of Middle Tennessee really only gets a good snow fall once every few years. I've heard at least 4 inches came down in some areas or Rutherford county, and I can agree. Heck, in the hour in a half we were in Wal-Mart, 1-2 inches of the white stuff landed on my car. We were all pretty shocked and immediately knew it was going to be a long night of play.

It was Thanatos, Kyoji, Matticus, Elliot, Dom, Phil and I out in the courtyard area behind our apartments just past midnight. We built three different snowmen, the kind only MTSUAC members could build. We built a snow throne for all of us to take turns sitting in. Matticus built a tiny snow empire to rule over. Elliot built a giant snow ball half his size, and he's 6 foot something. After finally demolishing that ball with several sword swipes and a double council rider kick, we called it a night. That was at 3 a.m. Three hours in the snow with a short tea break in between, sponsored by Matticus.
My apartment was filled with friends all weekend. Friday was the Star Wars RP, followed by
Gangs of New York. Prior to the Saturday night snow, we had a
GaoGaiGar marathon. Many stayed over the night because of the ice on the roads. Sunday, Thanatos and I watched a bunch of
Kamen Rider Agito before more people got off work to join us for
American History X.
It was a weekend of friends and fun. It was one I won't soon forget. I'm sore and tired and loved every minute of it.
