I have totally given up on my New Year's Resolution to not get irritated at other peoples' idiocy. To be fair, certain events in particular have made that particular resolution particularly difficult. And also, you know, my basic nature of judge-asaurus, the scariest dinosaur of them all. Plus, my and Lyla's bus rides became oddly silent when we couldn't comment on the sartorial and life choices of the strangers around us.
My other resolution, to get healthier, is taking up a ton of my time and concentration. And, to be honest, it's going really, really well. I feel great.
My other other resolution, to blog at least three times per week, is starting to be a hassle. Particularly because of the fact that the getting-healthy resolution is such a big part of my life right now, and I really don't want this blog to become one of those diet and exercise blogs. Because those irritate the heck out of me. (Judge-asaurus, hear me roar!) So, I find it difficult to find things to write about.
Today I met up and had dinner with a pair of total strangers. They were, literally, the neighbors of one of my flatmate's old professors. But they were in Budapest and wanting some sightseeing, so I was happy to oblige them. I showed them around a bit, then took them to Menza, one of my favorite restaurants, and they bought me dinner. We talked about Budapest and Hungary, Hungarian, and Hungarians... many of my favorite topics. And it was really nice. It made me miss the good old days, where random friends of friends were always on my couch/floor. The people who come to Budapest are generally rather awesome people. And my life here is so amazing, and I find this place still so fascinating, that I love to show it off. Plus, there is something so validating when people who have been to so many different places are impressed by the place that I've chosen to make my home. Budapest is always a pleasant surprise to people, and that's fantastic.
