Status Report: Eating Ice Cream

Cryogenesis-created ice cream is perfect. It's exactly soft enough to scoop out with ease, with a slightly crisp surface, and it never melts. I went very slowly, so I could gauge the appropriate solidity instead of creating some freezerburn monstrosity. Not even I want to eat freezerburn.
I'm getting good at freezing specific objects. That seems to be my strong point. I can generate baseball sized lumps of hail (and I could go larger, except they wouldn't fit into the tiny cooler under my bed, and would be harder to dispose of properly), and I can cool something in my hand very easily, but I still can't figure out how to make snowdrifts properly. All I'm getting is a floor slick with ice, and my bruises still hurt, so I'm wary of walking on it. I should either buy ice skates or rent myself out to an ice skating rink. On that note, I need to find myself some secret headquarters where I can practice this crap properly, because I really don't want my bedroom turning into a fetid swamp. I'm neat enough that the floor is free of debris and my laundry hampers can be moved away from my practice area, but the room is far from spacious, and I have bookshelves that need more protection than a plastic sheet. Also, I think I need better dehumidifiers or more outlets, because my room is a little ... humid. Humid is a better word than choking wet miasma. I'm running my space heater pretty much constantly to keep my family from noticing the haunted house chill in my room, but my sister still whines that my air conditioning vents work better than hers.
