Howdy, all. Kelvin checking in. I'm writing this shortly after Casey on Ben's computer, hence the legible keys. I'll give a rundown of the day; while it will be similar to Casey's, it will also be different. I woke up quite early, around noon. No, wait. Casey woke up quite early and then shook me awake because I was out cold. I had leftover peanuts for breakfast while sitting in the kitchen, drinking espresso and talking with Ahyan about life in Stockholm. Jeez, that stuff is strong. I left and jumped on the subway back to Central Station. I wandered around for a while and made my way to a square with a church. Descriptive, I know: a square and a church. Okay, I'll write the names down next time. Afterward, I met Ahyan at home. He left and gave me a key, so I slowly walked across town to the more affluent area. I sat on a bench and discussed the countries I most wanted to live in and visit, then walked through a muddy park toward the city centre. I stopped at a coffee shop, had a small three-dollar coffee, and chatted for a few hours. Casey had an incident in the bathroom, but you'll have to ask him about that. Eventually, I meandered to the T-something-or-other, also known as the subway, and went to a little island south of Stockholm. I had to take that line home anyway. I stopped on the island, where there were some inexpensive bars and a casino that required patrons to be 25. I think they just didn't like me, although I was dressed reasonably well! While looking for the "casino," I badly needed a bathroom. I went into Burger King, but they charged to use it. Being a cheap American, I thought, "I'll find a tree," and left. While walking, I spotted a little courtyard below street level and jumped down. My apologies to any Stockholmers reading this, but I found a very dirty corner and relieved myself. I'm generally respectful, and this was as appropriate a place to be inappropriate as I could find. Eventually, I looked up just in time to see Ben and Casey taking pictures of me. Great, there goes my political career. Anyway, as I was walking out of the casino, a woman with an English accent said, "Cheers, this is some cheap wine," while holding a bottle. I replied, "Cheers. This is some cheap beer!" and held up my grocery bag. They then invited me to the bar they were visiting, which Ahyan had also recommended. When I walked in, Casey and Ben sat down. Ben was talking to Eilan, whose name I have probably misspelled, and Casey was talking to Anna K, whose last name I couldn't pronounce. Regarding the aforementioned fountain comment, I was thinking I should toss in nine coins, based on what the number of coins in that fountain is supposed to mean. People who have visited that fountain and know basic maths might find that amusing. Shoot, it is already around 4:00 a.m. as I write this. So what was I to do? I walked to the other side of the table and asked about drinking songs, since learning them was one of my missions. Unfortunately, Swedish is a little complicated, but I got the gist of a few. I ended up talking for the rest of the night with Layla, a nurse; Stirling, like the silver, a kindergarten teacher; and Billi, who worked with older people like the rest of the group. Stirling's boyfriend eventually arrived, and since they had to work at 7:00 a.m., the two of them left. We traded plenty of compliments, and Billi and I shared a few good laughs. Eilian eventually came over and sat down, and the three of us talked. We particularly enjoyed analysing body language and explaining it to Billi. At around 12:30, I realised I had to leave because my train was departing shortly, so I ran to the station and had to pull Ben away. I boarded the train, where Eilian, Billi, and two other people joined us, lo and behold. We finally made it home, debriefed on the night, and have been talking, mostly Ben and me, ever since. He is petting what we unanimously voted the coolest cat ever. Well, bedtime calls, since I am getting up in five hours. I am trying to be as quiet as possible because Ahyan and his housemate have graciously let me stay in their apartment, and she, Malin, is asleep and wakes early. That concludes the evening! Tonight is my night on the couch. Tomorrow promises moose hunting, attempts to kiss under a bridge, and, hopefully, another meeting with this group. Until next time, adios.
