Suprise Birthday Party

Last night was the birthday party my step mom and I planned for my dad. It started out terrible and ended up being one of the funnest nights ever.
I woke up early to clean at my grandma's house for some cash and on my way home my step mom called and said that half the people that were invited couldn't come to the apartment before only the to the restaraunt. Then I said that I will be over at my step mom's apartment at 3, but I never made it there because I had to go home and change and be at the restaraunt at 8:45, so it would have been pointless to go to the other side of the city only to turn back around and go downtown again. So she was disappointed because she wanted to get ready together and stuff. But meanwhile my friend Eva called and wanted to meet for a drink at a bar right next to the restaraunt I was supposed to go to so that was very convenient. Also, at the bar I ran into one of the waiter/bartenders that I made buddy buddy with a few nights earlier (!!!) so I got 3 free drinks there :D The whole time we were at the bar though I kept getting phone calls from my step mom saying that my dad didn't wanna go out tonight and that he was yelling at her to stop inviting him to these places, so finally my step mom had to spoil the suprise and my dad called me then all embarrassed that he just yelled at her when she was trying to suprise him. So we all agreed (5 phone calls later) that my dad is going to pretend that he didn't know about it.
At 8:45 I realized I had to be at the restaraunt so I rushed out of the bar and told Eva to stop by before she goes home to see how the party is. On the way somehow I got lost and all of a sudden I see Gyuri, one of the people that was invited to the party, coming and he and his boyfriend knew where it was so I walked with them. When we got there it wasn't awkward at all even though I thought it would be because some of the people didn't know each other and a homophobe was ironicly sitting across from the gay couple ha.. But then we got the 15 minute call from my step mom that they were on their way and so we all ordered shots so that we could drink right away when they got there.
Fast forward 2 hours everyone is drunk, I am talking to everybody, busy bee, and I made best friends with the Gyuri's boyfriend, we went dancing when Eva came there with her boyfriend. Then the bill came (582 dollars for 13 people!!!!!) and my dad's friend and I looked and realized we had 14 glasses of wine each lol, and his girlfriend and I bonded some which I always thought she didn't really like me because in Prague her boyfriend and I were drinking buddies the whole trip, but last night we were like attached at the hip and everyone was like where are Zsuzsi and Illona?! Because we kept disappearing together haha.
Then around 1 we ordered a taxi home with like 5 boxes of leftovers and flowers and gifts and on the way out some tourist asked me where a good place to party is and I drunkenly explained a few places and my dad and step mom were just laughing at me. Then we got in the taxi and my step mom told me today that I was a joke box in the taxi, talking talking and being funny and the driver was laughing at me and at one point an ambulance drove by and I asked him if he ever raced with them haha, and all morning my step mom and I have been talking about last night and she just told me that on the way out one of the waiters that I was obsessing over with my new gay friend (SO sexy and nice everytime I ordered a drink he was like yes honey? or what would you like gorgeous :D ahhh I wanna go back just to flirt with him) thanked my step mom for coming to the restaraunt and leaving so much money, can he buy a drink for her on the house, but my step mom said no, and I was like, "Why didn't you accept the drink??"
"Because... I don't know, I didn't want it..........Oh! I forgot you would have drank it :)"
"I would have drank it WITH him."
"You would have drank it OFF him." :D
Then this morning I woke up around noon and I thought my dad would be mad that I slept in so late and hungover and stuff but I wake up and go into the living room and they're just as hungover as me, lounging in pajamas and under blankets with bottles of water, the living room and kitchen's a MESS it looked like a tornado went through, I guess we were all a little rough coming home last night :D There were dirty plates everywhere, leftovers half eaten, birthday cake from the restaraunt, beer bottles etc. Just great. :p
And then tonight there's a college prom, which isn't even about the dance you wear like cocktail dresses, nothing too fancy and get really drunk, open bar, bands playing, like famous ones, and there's a beauty contest 8 guys and 8 girls and they pick out king and queen of the college. I don't go to this college but they let outsiders come too and all my friends go to this college so they invited me. It's gonna be weird not having a date but oh well. It's more of just a big party than a dance. I'm wearing 4 inch heels though, so I am praying I don't fall... Only into the arms of one of the beauty contestants ;)

Senial and paranoia

Today was really scary on the metro, it stopped in place for a really long time (like 5 minutes) and the lights went out and a lady on the loudspeaker said "Please be patient, we are having technical difficulties."
I was so afraid! Then finally it started again but at the next stop she came on again and said "Please board and leave the metro quickly!!" Then I thought oh shit, what if there's a metro coming behind us that will crash into us!! I about shit my pants. But we made it safely, and on my way into the building I saw my grandpa in front of me and I yelled, "Papa!" He looked back at me but kept walking so I figured he must not have seen me. But then by the door I tapped his shoulder and said hi! And he said, "Good evening, I mean, Good day." and walked inside. He could be:
a. Drunk because he's an alcoholic and he confused broad daylight with night.
b. Loosing it/Senial or dementia because he didn't recognize me.
c. Didn't recognize me.
I hope its c, but it might be all of the above :S

Palm Reading

I went to a palm reading and a fortune telling today. The fortune telling wasn't that exciting because my aunt is a fortune teller/tarot card reader so she always reads my cards for me, but the palm reading was very interesting. She told me to write down some highlights so that I can look back and see if she was right. So, here they are:
She said that one of my parents is going to outlive the other by a long shot, which isn't as bad as it could be, they are divorced so it's not like they have to live long without each other, they don't even live in the same country! (Way to look on the bright side ;))
I'll have 3 kids, 2 of the same sex.
I'll marry in my late 20's early 30's.
I should be careful, I can get depressed easily. I'm an emotional rollercoaster, always really happy or really sad.
If something doesn't work out the way I imagined I get in a bad mood.
I talk myself in and out of a lot of things! (So true..)
I won't ever have weight problems. (Fuck yeah ;)) But I should be careful with eating enough nutrients.
My current long distance boyfriend and I aren't going to be very into the relationship when I come home because of different priorities and the physical distance between us. I feared that, but I guess deep down I knew that 6 months apart won't be good for us. He hasn't been writing either, so when I did finally talk to him last night I didn't wanna bring it up, why have both of us doubt our relationship?

Lies

It was my dad's birthday today and my step mom and sister came over for dinner and to celebrate and they slept over. At night my sister and I were talking and goofing off when the conversation turned serious.
"By the way, I was gonna tell you this, but I didn't know how you were gonna take it..." She started.
"What do you mean?" I asked, very intrigued. I love when a sentance starts out like that..
"Well before you came home this summer we went to the cabin to clean it up, and on the beach [my step mom] started telling us all these things, which I'm assuming are lies."
"Like what?" I asked, starting to get angry because this is the millionth time I've heard one of my step moms lies.
"Well she said that you tell her more than you tell your dad, and that you do all these drugs and she 'knows' you do heroine, and said that she saw a picture of you on the internet having an orgy with 4 guys.."
"WHAT?!!?" I couldn't beleive it.
I don't know which is worse, the fact that she made up the most ridiculous lies or the fact that my dad beleived her!
A couple days later I came home and my dad asked about it.
"So I know you were drunk last night, but I didn't smell alcohol on you when you got home... Are you sure you weren't high?" he asked.
"No, but if you want I'll pee in a cup for you to prove it." I replied sarcastically.
"I want to beleive you but.."
"But what? Just because [my step mom] feeds you all these bullshit lies doesn't mean you have to beleive them."
Then he started denying, and finally he asked where I heard that she said that and I said [my sister] and he said, "Well you shouldn't beleive [my sister] she causes drama too... Anything [my step mom] said [my sister] just agreed with."
So now I don't know if my sister lied about it, or if she's following her mother's example of lieing or if my dad just made that up to save my step mom's ass.
Who knows? Who cares. My dad's ex girlfriend (who I still talk to) and I think that my step mom is textbook example-ly trying to get rid of me and make me not come home again. Well it's working because if this is what I get whenever I come home, than noooo thank you.

Elections

So I'm missing the elections and I'm very sad... But I wouldn't be able to vote even if I was home because I'm not a citizen, I just have a green card. I WOULD vote for Obama though, which pissed my grandpa off today. I was sitting in the kitchen eating a sandwich and he asked me who I think should win and I said Obama, and he went off on how blacks shouldn't run the country and that someone old and mature like McCain is better qualified, and then walked away and I lost ALL respect right then and there for my grandpa. Then he came BACK and started talking more stuff and I started yelling at him because he was saying all these false facts, and he said, "Let me finish," and I said why the hell would I let you finish if you just say your part and walk away?! And he said because I'm your elder and you need to respect me, and I said I don't respect racist people, elder or family or not. Then that pissed him off even more and by that point all civility was lost. Oh, and then he asked me what I knew of the world, have I ever worked a hard day's work? And I said yeah, actually I have, 12 hours for a dollar 25 an hour! And he just said Puh! Like, don't "puh" at me, just because you've lived for more decades than me, doesn't mean you know more. You may know more about the time where you lived, but your wrinkly old brain doesn't know as much about the present as say someone growing up in these times. Not to MENTION that I LIVE in the country he was ranting about, all he sees is filtered news in Europe, which is ALREADY racist...
Anyway, if any republicans are reading this, I don't mean to offend you, I just hate ignorance and I'm embarrassed that my grandpa thinks it's okay to think the way he does. But for his excuse, older people are like that I think, especially growing up under communist rule in Budapest, it's been nailed into his head to hate.
But still.
Ugh okay I'm done.

Halloween

Lots and lots of parties... Halloween isn't really celebrated in Budapest unfortunatley, but it's catching onto young people. We went to this club called Merlin and there was this guy there that I have been flirting (I repeat ONLY flirting) with for a while, came up to me as soon as I got in the door and layed one on me... Everyone was like Uh, T, settle down... I don't know what to say/do. Dot won't give me advice on what to say, how to be let him down easy because I have a man-man at home waiting for me. Ugh I wish I could grow some backbone and just tell people straight up how I feel!
The rest of the night was fun, the bartenders were dressed up like zombies and vampires and I met a lot of people.
Sorry, kinda a boring post.

Prague

Prague:
Was. Wonderful.
Actually, only wonderful when I look back, because while we were there we were all complaining about the cold wind, the rain that stormed the first night, the absurdly high prices, the hostility of the waitresses in every restaraunt, and the amount of tourists on the street that made it impossible to take a step without bumping into someone.
But now that I look back, the scenery was beautiful, mainly because Prague lives off tourists and has a lot of money to spend on keeping all the architecture top notch.
As far as the people we went with (20 some friends) were very cool! Party animals... I don't think I've been drunk continuously for 4 days since summer! :D
There's a lot of pictures we took, I wonder if I can post on here?

Postcard material right? ;) And I'm not too bad of a photographer either :P
