for many years, I have harboured a longing, hidden deep within the dark recesses of my being. For although I live a mere 40 minutes out of London (depending on the traffic/weather/almighty's mood) I have never attended the Notting Hill Carnival. Until today. Hooray, I hear you all shout !!
I now have a pink crocodile painted on my face, with teeth that nicely coincide with mine. Plenty of compliments/pitying looks have been enjoyed. My lovely friend Heather had her face painted as a butterfly, a rather more classic look, complete with glitter. A man with a megaphone in the tube station preferred hers to mine, but what can you do. Sadly our male friends declined to be painted. There is little doubt in my heart that had Mike been there, I would have been walking accompanied by spiderman. The rest of the carnival was really good too, beer, drum and bass in the middle of the street, nearly naked dancers, yada yada, but.. face painting!
Also, the other day I was contemplating the splendour of life whilst out walking the dog, and got dragged into a patch of stinging nettles whilst she ran through a hedge and chased a chicken. I can't help but feel someone up there was laughing at me. That story should have been set up sooo much better, but I am an engineer, apologies.

that story was fiiine, especially the part where you went "WRRAAAUUUGHH!!?!" on the phone when you were telling it ::nods::
I want to get my face painted. Something tasteful, like a hooker wearing a plaid shirt committing suicide. Also, as an animal science major I am authorized to say that the dog dragged you though the hedge because you aren't providing it with a nurturing enough lifestyle. I recommend buying it some cocaine and twinkies just like mother dogs to for their pups. Nothing beats a diabetic dog with a sweet coke addiction. Trust me.
<--Aminal science major person,
I know these things.
What's really funny is that this is the first time I looked at this blog and literally busted an "LOL" when I read the title. What made me laugh again (with more of a freaky foreshadowing feeling) is the that fact that this was posted last Monday. Weird. RIP Croc-Hunter. Did you know something about Steve that no one else did Christine?
