Old friends

Today I woke up in a good mood, but for some reason I couldn't show it. I was tired and groggy, but I was content. I was smiley, yet smug... I don't know it was weird, and then now I'm really tired and there's a big birthday party at one of the bars downtown. It's for my friend Anita who I grew up with but haven't seen her for like 5 years! I mean I've seen her myspace and stuff, but it's going to be so weird! I hope not awkward...
It's 6:45pm and so dark outside, I think that might be wearing me down, because I feel like it's 10pm and I'm not going out till 8 and that seems so far away! I feel so old. I might be this moody because I am supposed to get my period soon. TMI? sorry.
Last weekend was fun but I ate SO much! I'm suprised I'm not like 500lbs! I went to this talent show thing where my friend's band was playing and they got GREAT (if not the best) reviews of the night, and everyone said they didn't like ska, but that wasn't bad. Then we went to my friend Dot's to drink for a bit and then around 10 we went to another concert, which I saw about 5 minutes of because I was at the bar drinking :D It was funny, this guy I hooked up with last year was there, and we have mutual friends and it's never awkward, in fact we make little inside jokes about having sex and giggle... ANYWAY I met his new girlfriend who has the same name as me, and the same birthday... WEIRD Right? But she is very cool we talked all night, and at one point for lack of chairs I ended up sitting in her lap! Ha. It was a fun night, and did I mention I got in for half the price that everyone else did because we knew the bouncer? Which is a plus because I am broke-as-a-joke. Then I slept at my friend Chris's apartment and we played foosball with his roommate till around 3am.
Saturday went down around the same way, but I went home with the last metro and on my way I had 7 hamburgers! I should stop doing that but for some reason the drunchies always get me!

2 days till Prauge!

Polar Bears and Navy Seals

I had the strangest dream last night, and I wonder what they meant: We were polar bears (my dream boyfriend and I) and we were swimming underwater around an Information desk and I pretended to break up with him only to suprise him with a bag of water and a balloon, and some seals or something.. That part is hazy to describe but I can picture it clearly, if that makes sense? Then I told him to meet me, but in the meantime I saw my dream ex-boyfriend and we ditched my dream boyfriend. BUT, my dream ex-boyfriend's girlfriend was sent to keep my dream boyfriend "occupied" and they made a sex tape and no one was mad at anyone, that we just traded boyfriends? And it was all in the big house of my neighbors back in NY who I've known since 6th grade and they have 9 sons and those were the sons in my dream. Every room was seperated by a beaver dam type thing, and the hallways were rivers. Very strange. There was more but that's all I have energy to describe right now. Oh, where does the Navy Seal come in the blog title? Our boyfriends were all in the army.

Today I'm going out to lunch with my French friend Tomi and then later I'm going to a Jazz bar downtown with some friends for some Rosé wine and good ol' jazz music. I wish my REAL (not dream ;)) boyfriend was here/could come tonight, he likes jazz (and literally every other type of music). I signed onto Facebook today, like every other morning I wake up, and guess what! He still hasn't emailed. How long has it been since he has? 2 1/2 weeks. I've written him a few times but... I don't want to too much because then he'll get sick of me. What I WANT to do is shake him by the shoulders and be like WHAT THE HELL!? Don't you miss me as much as I miss you!? Apparently not.

Don't offer if you're not prepared for the task...

Last night as I was leaving one of our favorite bars and my friend Eliza said that we're meeting for drinks tonight with Carrie and her friends... The thing is, Carrie was the first person I met in this city last year, and she's my connection to everyone I know here... But we haven't seen each other a lot because she's busy with her new boyfriend, and she's a little mad that I "stole" all her friends.
Anyway, so Eliza invited me and we were talking online about the night ahead and I realized I should offer to not come because she said she was meeting Carrie an hour before for some alone time. AKA without Illona time. That was fishy already, so I said maybe I should take a rain check, expecting her to say, "No no! Come anyway." Well she basically said I am welcome to come but shouldn't. (?????) Well, I was kind of offended and it put me in a really bad mood, but I offered to skip out so... I just hope this whole jealousy thing with Carrie gets sorted out because I hate when people make drama out of thin air. No?

First one ever!!

So this is my first blog ever, one that's public anyway... It's exciting! It's funny how I am loving this, yet I got this cute journal for graduation in June and all I write in that are poems and songs/movies I have to later download or rent.
I don't want to give too much backround information, just that I am 18 and just moved to Budapest for 6 months... I was born here and my mom and I moved to Minneapolis when I was 6.
I have a man back home, well sort of, we haven't had sex, which is weird because the opportunity AROSE (haha) pleanty of times. So when I came here, I didn't really expect us to be exclusive so I sort of... Wasn't? But when we were e-mailing he told me he did want to be, and that he'd wait for me so I clicked my heels together and said to myself, Illona... Faithful. Come on.
Now there's only 3 months left of the 6 that I have to wait to finally have my man-a-man in my arms 8-)

Next week my family and I are going on a vacation to Prague. I am SO excited!!

The rest of the posts will be juicier, I promise... This one is just an intro ;)
