Dual
RIP Karl 1991-2014
I spent it at Trajan's Forum, there was some Italian band with the most repetitive melody playing for a few years. Some idiots kept throwing m80s on the crowded fucking street and at the archaeological sites, and the rain poured down in a torrential deluge. I spent about an hour trying to work up the courage to hit on a cute American girl standing next to me in the crowd (we'd shared a few eye contact/smile combinations, should've said something), only for some brutish Italian guys to walk up and directly ask her for sex. Dual = failure; I shouldn't ever even try.
The last words I heard in 2009 were a heavily accented voice screaming in English, "We are il Alemanno, and we have come to rape and pillage!" The champagne was awful, somewhere between juice and alcohol. I didn't actually buy a bottle (red ftw), but I took a swig out of one I found abandoned on the ground, and it was disgusting as hell. Happy 2010!
