In my country, Hungary we have this tradition called 'Ballagás'. It's before high-scool graduation when the senior class says goodbye to the schoolbuilding by walking through all its corridors. Of course we don't do this silently, there's always music, but in past years' music was awful.

This year we decided that our 'Ballgás' won't be boring so we made a list of songs we want to hear. Anyone could enter any title. [profile] futurekind just informed me that a song I entered made the list. So...

JOHN BARROWMAN'S PLEASE REMEMBER ME WILL BE PLAYED!!! (Amongst other songs, of course.) Funny, I don't think anyone knows him at my school except [profile] futurekind and some of my friends. (Because I talk about him all the time, of course. And David Tennant. But that's a different topic.)

David Bowie's Life on Mars also made the list. Our 'Ballagás' will be the coolest!

Plus, my English competition went pretty well. I don't think I did my best but it was okay.

And you know who you owe thanks for that, right? ;) Blanka and I made the list. We did no arguing about it though, the song just fits there.

Congrats in advance! :)

I totally envy you, we had 'traditions' and had to listen to an awful mix of sad songs sung by our choir.

By the way hi! It's good to run into fellow hungarians on LJ, who also love DW and TW! :)

Hello to you as well! It's good to see I'm not the only sane person in this country. :D

I'm not sure that the fact I'm watching TW is a sign of sanity. :D

You're right, I was half-ironic. :)

That's really awesome. That sounds like a very cool tradition as well. (Whoo for a fellow Hungarian too. I'm only half-Hungarian, but it's still meet to someone else xD )

Mind if I add you as a friend? :)

*waves to the Hungarian DW/TW corner* Hi from a Brit/Hungarian living in Bp!

Wow, it's so cool that you guys are here in the Whouniverse *happy dance* last time I tried to describe Who and Torchwood to a couple of Hungarian friends ... well let's just say I gave up after about the 2nd minute and I hadn't even got to the "omnisexual" bit, hee :-DDD

Uhm, yeah. Hungarians ARE like that. Except for the few of us who can enjoy huge amounts of Britishness. :)
In Hungary DW has an awful timeslot with exceptionally bad dubbing anyway. Torchwood is not even shown. And we can't expect it from everyone to watch it in ENGLISH. Because it's another language that people would have to LEARN. Blah. :)

Oh, that's really neat! What a good tradition. My high school used to play music during the passing periods every Friday- and my senior year, I was friends with the girl in charge of doing it. As soon as the final bell rang on our last day of school, we had 'School's out for summer! School's out forever!' blaring through the hallways. It was great. :D

Congratulations on the upcoming graduation!

Oh, just wait, I forgot to mention Baba O'Riley's on the list too. And Wild Horses. But you'll see tomorrow. :)

Thats sweet, we should have that as a triditon here too, usually my friends and I all just get coffee and laugh over all the funny/sad/terable/tragic/fantastic/amusing times we had together there, this can of course go on over several hours as we all have a chat, and ove 4 or 5 lattes but in the end the time spend together is worth it!
