Karnivale on 2/12/06

Yesterday, i was at Bad Saekingen at Karnivale. Karnivale is an annual tradition held in the middle of winter. In the old days people thought that winter was brought on by some ghosts, and so in response to these threatening ghosts, the people of the village decided to dress up as scary or as outrageous as possible in order to scare the ghosts of winter away. So, now to keep the tradition alive people hold parades around this time of year to remember. It was so much fun!!! It's like Halloween in the February. Also, if you are not wearing a charm around your neck, the witches and all the gobblings will attack. Of course, i didn't buy a charm so i was thrown confetti, hit about 3 times, my scarf was taken away, and this huge monster threw me on his back and I was like that for a couple of minutes. Hahaha!!! it was so much fun, and if i return to that again, i still won't buy a charm. Its much more fun being harrassed by these creatures!!!



You left too early
Didn't even say goodbye
You wrote rudely
"Don't call"
Didn't even say
"ich liebe dich"
the last 2 times
I am going overboard with this
just ignore it
I wish you best
Don't know when we will
talk again
