Pure Evil’s Best of 2005

Favorite Event of 2005:

It was kind of favourite / least favourite event combined… on the 6th of July London got to host the Olympics and we all went ‘wow something good finally happens’... and then the next day London got bombed and the whole atmosphere switched totally… it was bizarre that so much could happen in 24 hours…and the same day I went to Barcelona which was amazing…

OLYMPICS: old ladies in france are left with a lot of stock…
BOMBINGS: and my street is closed off and this is the view from my window at midnight after the bombs came.
