Welcome to a new decade! I hope you arrived healthy in 2010 and the New Year’s Eve was pleasant. For my part, I spent that evening with Alex and my sis’ Marina having fondue and a lot of fun playing Wii – so much fun that we got to bed at five in the morning. The last weeks were in general very nice. I spent a lot of time with my family and Alex, learned free cross-country skiing – a sport I always wanted to try and I fell in love with – and I enjoyed my holidays.

Finally, we also got a bit of snow on Christmas Day – not much, but better few than no snow at all – and I have tried the first time in my life cross-country skiing, skating to precise. It was so much fun that I bought me my own skis and equipment. It’s no cheap sport at all and I am sure that I spent over 600€ for everything: skis (Fischer), boots (Salomon), binding (Salomon), sticks (Swix), Björn Daehli pants and jacket. Nevertheless, I am now very proud of my first tries and I am getting better already. It also helps very much that my dad and my sis’ are doing that sport some years and that they can give me tips. Hopefully, next weekend will be not that cold at the last – -10°C were nearly too cold for skating – then I can train again.

Before I end the first post in the new year I want to congratulate myself to the third place in the fanfiction winter contest of FF@OBL. The task was to write a ficlet containing ten given words. My story “Zauber der Winterzeit” was selected on the third place and that was quite surprising for me. Therefore I will post the story also here on my blog under writings – it couldn’t be that bad.

Valentine’s Day is over. I never was one that liked that day so Alex and I decided to create our own day of love two days after, on Monday. It was a very relaxing and nice evening with dinner and afterwards a great film in the cinema. Okay, the start of the evening was a bit chaotic. It was quite impossible to find a restaurant that was open, but finally we just dinned in the Krahvogel. The movie “The International” was also very impressive – a movie that is based on a real story.

Before I forget, Alex gave me a lovely pillow to our special day of love. I love my new Finder-pillow made by throwboy.com. They made a limited number what makes it also very special.

LOVE U, my dear!

I started this post while watching the opening of the Wiener Opernball. Alex was with a friend, so I had the possibility to watch that strange event. It’s every year a spectacle in Austria and you can see it on different TV stations (and there are usually always demonstrations against it). Hmmm, nevertheless the commentatores are getting worse as the female person that accompanies Richard Lugner (an Austrian who possesses a building enterprise and is always present on his own reality show on ATV) is getting more and more unknown, or at least special.
It’s now a long time ago that I was the last time on a ball, and of course that “ball” wasn’t worth the costs. It was my sister’s graduation ball and it ended with some 15-years old that were so drunken that they must be brought to the hospital. That is often called “Koma-Saufen” here in the newspapers, and well, they might be right. But I guess, that not much persons are so drunken on the Opernball. The prices of drinks and all stuff is so expensive that nearly nobody can effort to get drunken there. :idiot: A bottle of champagne was about 300€.
Nevertheless I love classic music so it’s always delightful to see the opening of that ball. And I guess nearly every girl dreams of being a debutante and to feel like a princess at least for a couple of hours. :blackeye:

Well, let’s talk about something else before I go to the office – about some changes here on my diary. I have removed the Fanfictions’ section (temporarily, maybe it will come back one day when I don’t feel ashamed of them), but have added a site where you can see my coverarts and my web designing (it’s not at all what I wanted, but maybe I find some time to work that all over, to get better images of the websites). To be honest, I guess the only stuff worth to have a look on my fanfictions were the covers. My recent cover art is for a Prince of Tennis – fanfiction and shows Tezuka Kunimitsu (Seigaku’s team captain).
