Me and my friend Anna are such survivors that despite that we live 1 hour away from SZIGET and the unbearable weather ( 38 degrees hot!), we decided to move in at day -1, so 2 days before the real concerts start.
On this years first SZIGET-day, this is what I noticed
Atmosphere
Either I change or the festival, but it's never the same as the previous year. It's growing, offering more opportunities, getting more modern and convenient. It has a pulse.
International peopleAt the camping area we haven't heard a single word in Hungarian, and everywhere else English was the main language too. It's like an outside place where people come from every corner of the world and they are really happy when they find some natives. Our camping neighbours are from Germany and Holland, and they are also 17-18 years olds, and we had some interesting conversations with Finnish and British weirdos as well.
Wheelchairs
I've seen disabled people on festivals before but I've always thought that they are coming for the concert they are dying to see and then they go home safely. No, these people live in the festival. They sleep in a tent just like every other people. It's amazing I think, I was deeply touched and sometimes close to tears. Can you imagine how much sacrifice and responsibility their friends take? Cause honestly I can't. But this way at 3 a m you can see some drunk disabled people racing round and round with their wheelchairs shouting 'whooho!'. So happy moments.
Pictures later!

i wanna live in a music festival forever
Due to my personality, I naturally love music festivals and get enthusiastic really fast. So far this summer I've visited 2 of them; but the biggest, the longest, the most popular, the most visited, the one I love the most and have been waiting for all year, the splendid SZIGET FESTIVAL starts now!
And I'm going to be one of that huge mass of people who gather together to have the time of their life. Around 400 000 visitors! (which means that if SZIGET was a city, it would be the 2nd biggest in Hungary)
Just some of the incredible bands who play this year
the stone roses
the killers
the xx
two door cinema club
noah and the whale
the vaccines
viza
the pogues
etc
Amaaaazing!

a bittersweet birthday post
This day has come just like every other day. It's funny that how elusive time seems on these 'special occasions', like an 18th birthday.
I've always hated my birthdays, because it's a kind of borderline you have to cross but cannot go back. It reminds me that I should get more and more responsible, and I have to admit I'm not really a grown-up material. So I woke up this morning with a bittersweet taste in my mouth
For my birthday, my family got me a real DSLR camera (!!) and a bunch of old videos of me being 3 or 4 years old. It's really weird to watch, little me having a bath, little me playing computer games with little brother and everyone has ridiculous hair and clothes.
There's one particular video in which I'm crying because my brother and father made me believe that all my VCR tapes are destroyed and all we can watch from now on are football and basketball matches. Isn't it cute?
After lunch a friend of mine came over. He's had a crush on me for a long time and it was something we had both knew but none of us talked about, so this way we could be good friends. But today the doorbell rang so I opened a door and he was standing there with a bouquet of 18 red roses. I dried up completely.. Shocked and embarassed, I was searching for some words to say other than 'thank you'. And I felt terrible down to the core that it was not a film, in which I would love him back and kiss him; the camera would zoom out after this scene, and little birds would write 'the end' on the blue sky.
But it's not a film, and sometimes you have to be the heartbreaker even though you really don't want to.
Other than that, so far i've got 2 texts, 9 private messages, 66 facebook posts and 3 phone calls of saying happy bithday, and a mysterious question about what colours are my favourite, so I'm counting on more birthday presents.
And I'm going to a concert tonight with my closest friends and gonna buy my first and last pack of cigarettes.
so I guess that's it. I'm 18 now.

SUBMARINE
submarine is the kind of movie you just dont forget. it's a love story of the socially awkwards with weird humour and lots of Alex Turner songs. Sweeet.
"My mother is worried that I have mental problems.
I found a book about teenage paranoid delusions during a routine search of my parents' bedroom. After that, I started slipping choice phrases into our conversation.
My mother is naturally neurotic and in her youth even dreamed of being an actress, until she was told by a speech therapist that her tongue was too big for her mouth. Now she works for the council's Legal and Democratic Services department.
One of the rules in her office is that if it's your birthday, you are held responsible
for bringing your own cake to work. "
- It's rude to leave a film before it's finished.
- Who to?
- The film-makers.
- How do they know?
- They just do.
- How?
- They do.
I watched it 3 times in a row.
