I went to the nottinghill carnival for the first time last year. Most people has warned me and said it was vioelent, people get killed all the time and I would be better of staying indoors. I saw a pattern emerging with the kind of people who were saying these things. I thought, if the people in Rio survived every year, in one of the most chaotic cities in the workld then there was nothing wrong with nottinghill.
It was great, I went with some work colleagues, from eaurope, australia and the far east and so it was a bunch of people from diffrent cultures. we had fun. The deceiever offered us free booze, and they seemed paralysed by the offer. I thought to myself, what am I doing with these people here? the aussie girl was game ofcourse and we had our steady stream of alcohol throughout the day. I saw the float, danced a bit, did some reggae moves, danced on stage at one corner with some performer and had a great time. It rained a bit but it was nothing we couldnt handle.
This year I am not so sure about it. I am not particularly excited, dont know who i am going with yet and the worst thing would be going by myself and having nobody to hang around with. Hopefully that will not happen. It only ends at 7pm which is boring but in theis weather, i am thankful. winter is here in ful force. whoever says we are in autumn is deluding themselves.
So have a great one, i am sure I will survive it. the best thing is all those gorgeous hunks out there. Last year I was deluded myself into thinking the deceiever was my hunk and I his princess. I know better now of course,so i will be out there on the prowl. I hope a miracle occurs, it getds hot ant and i can wear my mini and high sandals.
NOW NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO RESISTS THAT...GUARANTEED
