second half (taiwanese people know how to receive gifts, pt II)

I went back out to deliver presents and I'm happy I did. tk made me feel like I gave him the best gift of all time, even though it's not. we skated together and chatted under the almost empty bridge, and called it quits about 2330. I had second wind went west, through the old old hood ,and the old hood, and then eventually back down. I "skated" two dozen spots (fatigue and tb kept me from doing much: at the police jaws bank I could only roll up and then back down. nevermind, the consequences were still pretty big there). flashes of memory from the cruise are the sudden realization from the tiles and cracks taht I'm back hwere I learned how to ***** up curbs and skating past a security in the window who looked up in a flash wit hteh sort of terror that a imagine a gazelle has when it's about to be consumed by a lion and a very very old woman dragging a huge sack of trash behind her with a huge conical hat on, to whom I offered some cash but she refused and then got angry when i insisted and i tried to say "i want to help you" in mandarin but she launched into a stream of invectives taht i'm pretty sure ancient old women shouldn't say to me. I honestly dont know how to help her.
I went by the old old hood's manny pad ( a perfectly smooth granite couryard with an even smoother 3m black onyx circle pad) and hit as many steps with metal angles and tiny banks and two stairs and curbs and a few 3 stairs and loose tiles that I avoided at the last second from 24 month old memory, and more natural kickers tahn you can shake a douche at. I went by the viking helmet roof spot, but i didnt climb up there. If any spot can described as gnarly without sounding like I'm from california, then it's this one. I'm not from california, so i actually prefer to calling a terrifuckingfying spot. I wandered back home without real incidence. Some taxis tried to kill me, but that is normal in taipei after midnight and I was too fast for them. I hit up some of the old 7s and famis and so on, because i wanted to talk to the 3rd shift clerks, but they had all changed.
tk told me there's a skateparty in kaoshiung this weekend. i'm going to miss it bc it's lzyk's birthday. but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't mention that ot her.
