we just got slammed with quite the ice storm in iowa and went for a day or more without power. it was the usual downed power lines, broken trees all over, and half an inch of ice on everything. my front door was iced shut and i worried for a bit that i would be trapped inside. yesterday ended up being really sweet. my friends and i all hung out at their house because they had a gas stove so we could still cook. we made a huge brunch, sat around and played music, and explored the dark attic and dressed up in the strange clothes we found up there. i scored knee-high white platform boots. then that night had a candle-lit party where we played twister and charades and got drunk. then we had a group sleepover and hoped that the house wouldn't get too cold. it was a good communal experience.
