Szia @ Sziget
I’m leaving for Hungary tomorrow! The first stop is the Sziget Festival in Hungary. Which is a week full of music, beer and fun. And then I will visit my parents in Bukkszentmarton for 2 weeks of relaxation.
Szia does not mean see you btw. It means ‘hello’ or ‘bye’. It’s one of the few words I know in Magyar. It’s such a difficult language! I know Sör is beer and Bor is wine. Köszönöm means thank you. And my favorite ‘nem te dom’ which means I don’t know.
Anyway. It should be an experience. I never went camping before. I mean.. never real camping.. with a tent. I hope I even know how to putt it up gheh. Here’s a map of the festival ground.
It’s pretty huge. Apparently sziget is the biggest outdoor festival of Europe. If you’re curious you can find more info at www.szigetfestival.com.
The only thing i’m really worried about is the toilets and showers. 7 Days is too long to go without sanitary visits, but I’m afraid it will be a nasty experience. Gheh. Good thing they also have a pool 
.
The thing I’m really looking forward to (besides all the concerts of course) is visiting Budapest. Sziget is an island in the middle of the Donau seperating Buda from Pest. Since the activities of the festival start at 5pm every day there’s plenty of time to do some sightseeing/shopping in Budapest during the day (if I’m not in a coma that is).
Oki, I should really finish cleaing up the house right now. Cause I have to get up eaarrrrrly to catch my flight.
See ya in 3 weeks!
Szia!
Weirdest Dream
Tonight I had the weirdest dream ever. It was like a nightmare, except I wasn’t in it, neither was anyone I know. It was like watching a movie. I had a dream nobody I knew was in one time earlier, but that one wasn’t as weird is this one.
I dreamt about a little kid that kills his own parents and keeps wanting to stab people. After he stabs both his parents with a knife his sister finds out after he tries to stab her at well. She locks him up in the living room closet and calls the police. About 5 policemen show up and they’re discussing how it was probably an accident. When they go to the closet to take a look at the little guy he’s escaped and starts stabbing policemen. He does it in the horror movie way.. creeping up behind people and stuff. The policemen flee te house and run away with their ponies (yes ponies, my mind is a mysterious thing). After that I dreamt about the lil kid going with his parents (who weren’t killed, only wounded as it appears) and sister to the theatre. His parents are convinced he wouldn’t hurt them again, but his siter is not. She keeps holding his hands so he can’t grab for a knife and keeps warning him and is not comfortable at all. They leave the theatre and he stabs his sister with a tiny knife. It’s not lethal but she’s hurt. She locks him up in some kind of locker (it’s really tiny) and keeps yelling at him that she can’t live like this and that he will be locked up or whatever. But the police can’t lock him up cause he’s a kid. Plus he would only hurt the other ones in his cell. He’s too young to be put in a 1-person-cell or whatever. In the end his sister is doomed to live with him to control him, cause she’s the only one he would never kill. Unfortunately for her he has no problem hurting her.
I think that’s about it. When I woke up I actually felt like I watched a horror movie. I was afraid some little kid holding a knife would be behind the shower curtain.
I think I dreamt about this because I read the cover of American Psycho. My brain is twisted like that. I wanted to bring that book on holiday. Maybe I won’t…. If I already have dreams about it now, it can’t go well if I actually read the book 
.
Chipmunk’s pics
Chipmunk aka Shini finally posted her photos of when we had a fabulous lunch on the golf court near Arnhem a couple of weeks ago. And these two pictures, when putt together, cracked me up.
Go check out her blog to read about how much she loves me

Post-y-post
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just slept for about 2 hours. In the middle of the day! And now I feel cranky as hell.
I only went to lie down on the bed for a little bit to cuddle with Murphy. He just looked so comfortable and I thought it was cosy to join him. He thought otherwise ’cause he woke me up 2 hours later only to get me out of bed so he could snore the rest of the day alone.
So here I am being cranky with no reason. I have good reason to be happy actually. I bought the iPhone this week . I went with my friend to Amsterdam last week to get her ass ankle tattood and unluckily for her the tattoo-girl was delayed so much that she didn’t have time for my poor friend anymore. Soo.. instead of her being in excruciating pain and me watching her being in excruciating pain we got to do some shopping.
Good for me. Not so good for her. I found everything I wanted! I bought a cool new bikini by my favorite brand ‘Billabong’ and the IIIIIIPHOOOONE. I’ve been trying to order it through the internet since it’s been released here (July 11th) with no luck. We walked into 4 stores in Amsterdam. The first three were all sold out and told me it would take ages to get one because there are waitinglists. But the fourth one, the fabulastic Belcompany decided not to work with waitinglists and they had 1 left for my lucky ass. (I can’t believe how fast they sell btw, they got a new shipment (6 phones) on wednesday and I bought the last one on thursday evening.)
So. I have one friend less because she hates me for being so lucky on her dreaded day. But one very nice gadget richer. I think it’s worth the price. (Just kidding Renee :p.)
Of course, me being me, I almost turned my fantastical new iPhone into a useless brick within the first 24 hours. I tried to ‘jailbreak’ it. As that supposedly is the cool thing to do. If you jailbreak it you can install any application on it, instead of just the applications apple approves of. The thing is. You have to do it right. Or your iPhone is lost forever. I didn’t do it right. Thank god the reset button worked or I’d have died of shock over my own dumbness.
In the meantime I’ve also watched some movies, read some books and bought some more. I read The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. It’s a children’s book, but it’s really cool. Well, not cool. But a good read. Horrible ending. I definitely recommend reading it if you want to enjoy a short, easy readable book about a horrible and serious topic that is WW2.
I just realized I didn’t even write what I thought about Batman! I loved it!! I watched it in the cinema last week. I watched Batman Begins the day before, cause I hadn’t seen it yet. I didn’t like it that much at all, so I was beginning to get a bit skeptical about the Dark Knight one. But I LOVED it. And I immediately knew why I didn’t like Batman Begins: it has no good enemy! The bad guy totally makes the movie in these kind of films. And the joker definitely is the best bad guy ever!! Loved it .
