Travel fever and friending issues

[winter]

Six days before getting on a plane to Budapest is probably a bad time for me to panic about not being able to speak a word of Hungarian, or even pronounce it without consulting a guide. Technically I know we can get by easily between English, German, French and Russian, but my brain is flailing in travel-induced panic.

Otherwise, I got friended by a crowd of people I don't know, again. It's not that I mind people viewing my public posts, but dropping me a note would be nice. As would telling me whether you want me to friend back - locked posts tend to be Real Life ramblings and file-sharing.

Dunno if I'm one of the people you don't know, but I'm Graycat off afp and occasionally #afp. Wether you want to friend me back is entirely up to you, of course :o)

You will note that I already did ;) That was directed at people I don't know.

take care and hope you enjoy your trip.

i'd suggest that you make a post and list all those who have friended to you to introduce themselves so that you may have an idea who they are. yeah, troublesome but it should work. ^^"

I thought they'd unlurk in this one, but I may end up having to issue such a gilt-edged invitation ;)

Hello,

I found you via Metafandom, and read your post on racism and Central Europe a couple of weeks ago. I commented therein that I was damn impressed. I'm one of the people that friended you, and of course you can friend me back. :-) I tend to write lots about comics, politics/current events, art, Italian motorcycles, orchids, history, archaeology, and do regular massive picspams of hotness.

Also, icon love. Oh, Dick. You power the universe with your angsty diatribes.

*friends* Just let me know if ramblings about musicals get too annoying ;) Gotta warn you, long analysis posts happen rarely. I do too much of that at work.

Try not to be too anxious, Beth! It'll only make your travels less pleasant. Not thatI'm one to say anything. I panic whenever I have to travel over anything I can. Have a safe trip!

I hope that as usual it passes once I'm actually there ;) And if I can manage no illness this time due to preemptive antibiotics, all the better.

I've got a bit of travel-jealousy, but not enough to keep from wishing you a damn good time. What will you be doing in Hungary, besides seeing musicals?

[winter]

Mostly sightseeing. I'm very lucky with exhibitions (Incas, Genghis Khan and Tiffany glass), much less so with musicals, alas, since I'm only catching Tanz (twice). I think I may end up having another trip with fyrie in February-ish, to catch Tanz again and whatever they end up putting on at the two main musical theatres. Hopefully Elisabeth and Phantom of the Opera :)

I'm sure you'll love Hungary once you're there. It's not a real trip without a bit of travel panic just before setting off!

[winter]

I think I'm a bit better now that my doctor took one look at me and put me on antibiotics ;) I should damn well learn by now that if I flail and panic, there's usually a somatic reason.

Hope you have a good time in Budapest, it's a great city. Don't worry too much about the language thing we did fine there with just English and a phrasebook so you with 4 languages should have no real problems at all. Have fun!

Sorry, for replying about a week later. I found you a while ago because of the SW fic, but I kept reading your lj 'cause I like your talk about musicals.

Oh, I forgot, no need to friend me back. I usually don't friend much myself because the friends list kinda drives me crazy for a whole bunch of reasons.
