We ended up, RMJ and I, walking in the rain, through our favorite city, four hours after midnight, talking. It's hard to put it in order of anykind, but before we did that, we were talking and walking in the not rain, from minquan. And then before that, we were talking with a Canadian on a trip, at the old stoop, and previously, a well dressed Taiwanese gentleman, and his Thai friend, who was sober, and his Afrikaaner friend, who was Afrikaner drunk. She wanted to try skating, but the surface was already wet and she was also already more than a few drinks in. She tried to knee me in the balls and hugged everyone around. I told her, "dit is a plaisur, om yo te unt mut', but I have no idea how to spell that. Thanks Eddie. I saw tehm at the corner, dacning, so I tap danced on the ground, and they came over, but lord knows why. Before that, IS left in a taxi. It was already really, really late when he left. I took a photo of the smiley face sticker I put in the beer aisle of the fami four years ago. I couldn't belive it's still there. before that, IS and RMJ and I stooped up on the old stoop. In the preceeding moments, we talked and drank our way across Taipei, skateboards under arm, because of the sprinkling rain. The session had been very very good. we had been kicked out of several spots, including a long pink marble curbed ledge, and a tall balck stone one. Miraculously , we didn't get kicked out of the low black stone long curb/ledge at the place we always get kicked out of in 5 seconds. we also skated the pink dolpin bumps. Before that, we were at the bronze steps, and skated the shit out of them. I had no plan. Time isn't really going forwards or backwards. None of this means much, except for the time we've spent together.
Edit:
The hiccups were back, and I was in agony, for a long time. It made me very ornery.
