041: Snow?

[livingmyths]

I saw snowflakes today! Not a lot, not enough to coat the ground, but snowflakes!

They feathered down out of the sky, floating and drifting on the breeze, dusting the trees here and there with just the tiniest bit of powdered white.

I watched until it was too dark to see anymore, but oh, was it beautiful while it lasted!

I missed the snow? Darn. It doesn't snow in California. Well, at least not in LA. Big Bear is a different story.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Just the tiniest bit, but oh, it was beautiful!

Don't worry. I think you'll see lots more snow.

[tofuinthesky.livejournal.com]

Then I should go snow boot shopping and get a pair of skis too.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Do you think we'll have that much snow? I've only ever seen tiny bits like this before!

[tofuinthesky.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It feels cold enough for it though.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

That would be nice. I'd like to see what it's like when there's a lot of snow!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

The place I lived before here? Snowed all the time. I never thought I'd miss it, but I have.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I've never seen more than a tiny tiny bit of snow that disappeared almost at once. Is it nice?

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

It's like anything else: it's beautiful until there's too much of it. Then it's just commonplace and irrelevant. But if you can forget about how normal it gets, yes, it's still really, really nice. Like a blanket of sparkling white covering everything, especially when it's fresh.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh...

That sounds wonderful!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

You weren't here this summer when it snowed, then?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I was here, but... I don't remember it snowing.

How odd.

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

It didn't last very long. Just another City curse. But a friend who used to be here told me it snows plenty in the wintertime, so we're bound to see blankets of snow eventually.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh, that should be fun! I wonder what it will be like here at my house. The roof is transparent, you know!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

I didn't know. Where do you live? If you don't mind me asking.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

In the woods. My friends helped make a sort of house for me so I'd have some protection from the weather.

I... get scared if I'm inside a real place without enough doors. In case bad people come, you know.

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

I know all about bad people and fear.

In the woods? That's got to be really nice. You're a friend of Abby's, aren't you? Or did I get you confused with someone else?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is. I love it here!

And yes, I am. Abby's a wonderful friend!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. I didn't get it wrong.

She's one of my closest friends here. We haven't met, I don't think. I'm Gren.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Gren! yes, she's talked about you.

Hi. I'm Rain.

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

Hi, Rain. It's good to finally meet you - sorry it took so long.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, that's okay. I don't get out much. Pretty much I'm here or at the Library.

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

Do you work there?

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Yes! And I love it there.

It's kind of alive, you know? And it likes me. Sometimes if I'm there late by myself? It sings to me. Or whispers stories.

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty beautiful way of describing it. I feel the same way about music. So if you ever stop by Lux on a Saturday, say hello, okay? I'll play a song for you.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Would you really?

Oh, I'd like that!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

I sure would. The first and last songs of the night are always planned, but everything else is up for grabs.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd like that very much.

I'll definitely have to go some Saturday nigh!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

I hope you do. I'll look forward to it.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Maybe Abby will come with me!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

She's always there on Saturdays. She's even got a regular table there. Right up by the front.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

I'll see if she'll bring me along sometime then!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan! I'll look for the two of you, then, instead of just Abby.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay! I can't wait to hear you play!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Abby has some of my stuff on her computer if you're that curious. Not that it won't keep until Saturday night.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

We'll see. Sometimes the anticipation is wonderful in itself!

[notapreacher.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it is.

Take care, Rain. I'll see you one of these Saturdays.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

You too, Gren! It is good to have finally met you!

[premiumedheart.livejournal.com]

It snowed a little in the city? That's a rather nice thought - it's been getting chilly enough for it to start coming down.

I'm sort of sad I missed it.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Well, it snowed a little in the forest at least.

I really liked it. And I'm sorry you missed it, but I'm sure there will be more!

[premiumedheart.livejournal.com]

That must have been some sight, then, to watch it snow there.

It's all right! Like you said, there just might be more and next time I'll be sure not to miss it.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Oh, it was! I curled up on my bed and watched it through the roof. It was amazing!
