"The Snow Pit"
Rating: G
Genre: Vignette.
Summary: Part of "The Diary Series". Larry's thoughts on the "Snow Way To Treat A Lady" two-parter.
Distribution: Ask & you shall most likely receive, all I ask is that I know who wants it & where it's going :-)

Well, we got back from the skiing trip tonight. I wasn't used as a ski jump this time, although I did become one with the snow–literally.

All I wanted was a chance to be with Jennifer alone. I figured when we got stuck in the cabin, it would be the perfect opportunity, but...

Ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Anyway, Balki wanted to try skiing and the ladies got a good rate, if we all went. So, I came up with a nice little white lie to... further my relationship with Jennifer. It really didn't work all that well, even thought Balki said that Jen said she thinks I'm cute. I think I'd like to actually hear her say it.

I'm just jumping all around here. So, I wanted to impress Jen (what guy wouldn't want to impress the woman he'd love to spend the rest of his life with? ...Think I've said too much.). So what if I skied down the wrong side of the mountain? I'm pretty sure I would've fallen no matter where I skied. Although, I certainly could have done without meeting that pine tree face to pine needles. Ow. If I really wanted acupuncture...

Balki really had something against my want to impress. He shared his "Great Myposian Pit Theory" & I got to know the snow ball that eventually fell into the pit. While we were stuck in the cabin, I offered to get more fire wood (in actuality, I didn't want to listen to Balki any longer as I could've done without his "Little Goat Herder" story that was a blatant dig at me). I wasn't outside even two minutes when I was met with a huge snow ball, which turned out to be an avalanche that ended up helping me get to the door of the cabin a lot quicker than I would've liked. They opened the door and there I was, pressed into the snow. I was lucky I didn't get hurt, bodily that is.. It did hurt my pride, but that's nothing new.

Then there was our tunnel digging. Words really can't describe the feeling I'd had when I thought that Balki had still been in the tunnel when it collapsed. I was truly scared we'd lost him. It was my fault he'd been in that tunnel alone. I know he's okay (& snoring quite loudly in the living room, currently), but I just feel so guilty that he could've been hurt, or worse, because of me. And, believe me, that is the worst feeling in the world.

Anyway, I'm glad it's over now. Maybe in a year we could try camping...
