I haven’t really properly started learning how to skate so obviously i still don’t really know how to stop.

As I glided across the rink amongst the better skaters who whizzed by and the little kids tottering unsteadily with wheels on their feet, I was halfway between having fun and feeling mortified at the thought of colliding with whoever was in front of me if they didn’t move out my way at the snail’s speed that I was at.

Toe stop schmoe stop.

Whatever.

I haven’t quite figured out how those things work so until then, I’ma slide along with everyone else like a grandma doing 40 on a freeway.

I actually didn’t plan on going to the skating rink. What was supposed to be Raven’s friend’s birthday party last weekend turned out to be a little reunion on the side with Jeff’s cousins that I didn’t even know about until Krisfaye rang me up to ask if I was already there as she was coming in a bit late.

I asked if she could pick me up on the way, dusted off my Moxis and that was that.
