10:11 am	reading www.garthnix.co.uk/ I read them at the speed of light, hungry for every word. I like the idea of the 'Abhorsen', the location, rituals and the realism of it all. I liked the subtle nuances of personalities. And I especially felt for Lirael - the power of the Clayr and Abhorsen made her an interesting and breathtaking character. Most of all I like the Disreputable Dog and the annoying cat, Mogget. I'm sure I'll give a try to other books he's been writing.

11:04 pm	Food from scratch Today I tried to do a pizza from scratch. dough: 600 g flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 ts salt, 14 g instant yeast, 2 spoons olive oil, 400 ml warm water topping: tomatoes, bacon, cheese, mushrooms, 1 egg, lemons, green olives, parsley I mixed the flour, sugar, salt, yeast, oil and the water, bit by bit. Then I let it rest in an oiled bowl for 20 mins. In the mean time I cut everything for the topping. I also made a sauce with tomato sauce, condiments, salt and water. I baked the dough for 5 minutes before I added small-cut tomatoes, bacon and cheese. I threw it in the over for another 10 mins. Then I placed the topping and let it bake for 30 mins or until brown. I took it out of the oven placed some cheese and parsley on top. Here's how it looked! It tastes as delicious as it looks!! And since I had some leftovers dough I made a calzone as well. My baby tasting the wonders!! :) Current Music: Metallica - Orion & Pulling Teeth (Anesthesia) (Comment on this)

10:31 pm	College is over, welcome future!! Yay!! College studies are finally over with a huge and well earned 10. At the beginning of the year I didn't think I'd have enough time or energy to put together a project and present it, but as it turned out I did. And I'm so happy I scrapped whatever energy and time I had to do it. Phew! It was a long run! 5 years of my life were spent on college studies and now it is over!! It feels so great to be able to do... everything!! It shall be a short happiness but I want to taste it!! Now I can cook, walk, talk, play as much as I want to!! As a result I'm trying to educate myself in the art of cooking sweets. Last week I tried my very first Lemon Tart, made with a dough with plenty of cocoa. It was delicious, but I still have to work on the dough. Visit this website for amazing recipes: http://www.tastespotting.com/ I'm also going back to my Buddhist studies, they were scarce but I always appreciated their teachings. This site is amazing and very informative if you are interested! http://buddhanet.net I also hope things will arrange themselves around me because I have no energy to do so. I don't want to worry, I don't want to struggle, I don't want to think about things 'I have to do', have opinions or make decisions. I just want to relax and enjoy the time I have with my man!! After-tart-loving!! Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: the sound of Trine the game (Comment on this)

8:59 pm	It's been such a long time since I posted anything on LJ I don't even know with what to start. Job-wise: I'm working as a graphic designer since September last year. As I got employed my boss fired the guy that was an year old in the same position, and the woman that was being tested didn't suit his needs, so I was left all alone. For 2 whole months I struggled to do my job on totally unknown ground - I had to fight with the amount of work and the unknown clients and demands. I have to admit that my salary grew miraculously but my stress level reached a dangerous peak. That was when my future husband, unsatisfied with his job, decided to quit and join me. Since then it's been great at work. There's more time to breathe now. I hope that with this financial crisis it will be this free the entire year. School-wise: My exams period came and I'm waiting for a result this week that coming. This year is my final year and I have to prepare my project. I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to squeeze it in. Mainly cause now I can't quit my job so I just have to try very hard. Well the writing process will begin in February or March so we'll see how it goes. Family-wise: It's been going great for a couple of months but I recently found out that my family wants to shun me if I don't marry at the Orthodox church. The problem is that my future husband and I don't believe in all this church bullshit and we didn't plan on marrying in the church now that my parents are practically forcing me to do it takes a whole different proportion. At least we're staying with my boyfriend's parents and things here are as okay as they can be. Love-wise: I'm living happily with my man and we're gonna get married this year. There are a lot of things to say but most of them are private ;) so I'm leaving you with some photos... Ready to go out partying! Love my hair! ;) Some psychobilly fun!! :D Current Mood: pensive Current Music: some jazz (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:28 pm	Artmania 2008 The weekend that just passed I've been to Artmania. It's been a good festival! Sibiu is a tiny town and all the people were nice. No incidents occurred, at least I saw none. I've met some nice people and had time to hang out with them and get, once again, the taste of the goth subculture in Romania. It sucks! Rant coming! You can skip it if you want. No people it was not funny laughing about deathrock more so cause someone at your table looks incognito-deathrock. It will be funny when you read this, huh?! Wait. Weren't you supposed to defend the goth scene? Wasn't that like our new purpose? To stick together? Nevermind. Even more so, speaking your mind is fine, but why with so much spite? When talking about someone’s features did you ever take in account the heritage? Can you compare a Russian woman with a Chinese and say which one is beautiful without being subjective? When you open your mouth to speak about clothes do you think about tastes, places and moments? You even asked me why I don't wear boots. As I said before: I don't 'wear' boots, I wear pointy boots with high heels because that's what makes me feel like 'myself'. It's all part of a style or defining one. Although I think that your problem is 'stereotyping' people. If in 90% of the situation a person looks a certain way you expect said person to appear in a place which is not exactly her/his scene looking like that. According to you I should probably get an undercut and be left penniless my entire life or wear boots just because my feet hurt or look like a zombie at a death metal/whatever concert. What's even funnier is that you’ve been discussing Razorcandi and I was sitting close and I couldn't believe my ears. I had the fortune of meeting her and I can tell anyone that cares that she's been a lovely woman and I'm totally glad I did have the guts to disturb her life for a couple of minutes! ^^ But this is not about her this is about being right and wrong, about criticizing someone who's older than you, with more than 6 years. If you’re gossipy about her, you are about me and so on! This is about a gathering were all of us should have felt at home and I felt left out and insulted. I've been insulted directly by making fun of deathrock, even if it was just the name, and I've been insulted by the gossiping. It's no big deal it's not like I can't sleep at night because some 17 something year olds decided they have a say. This being said I'm going to rise my hanging-out-people-age-standard to 19! Anyway, I liked Lacrimosa live and that I've been amazed that Tilo looks as good in reality as in photos. It's striking really!! I left with a good impression about Gamma Ray and Atrocity although they are not my style. The crowd was good! The 1st day we stood in the first rows the entire show, but on the 2nd day we went in and out of the tent. The weather has been kind to us, sunny and when it did rain it wasn’t a heavy one. I had an amazing time there! I'm sure I'm going to try and visit the town next year. Hopefully next year I’ll have the cold/flu excluded. If you want to browse my piccies from Sibiu feel free to do so here! Current Music: Virgin Prunes - Betrayal (3 Comments |Comment on this)

6:50 pm	Survey I found this survey in Stephen's journal and I liked it so I thought to post it as well. Would you do meth if it was legalized? No, never. Abortion: for or against? It's a hard choice, let the kid live or let the person have a life. I've never been through an abortion and I'm not sure how it feels. Would US fall with a woman president? I think women can rule just as good as men. It might be a good change. Do you believe in the death penalty? I think it should be reserved for certain crimes with a great amount of cruelty. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already? No, not really. Are you for or against premarital sex? People should decide what is good for them, but certain people should have more liberty so they can make their own mind if it's right or if it's wrong. Do you believe in God? I do believe in God, but I don't believe in Christianity's representation of this higher power nor do I agree with religions. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized? I do, and because I don't agree with the Church it makes it really easy for me to say it should be done faster. In my country 90% of the population it's Orthodox so I won't see that happen any time soon. A 12 year old girl has a baby...should she keep it? There's been a case like this in my country. I think the child should understand what having a baby means and then together with her family they should make the right decision. But thinking about it all I think an abortion would let her live her life in a 'normal' way and have a family when due. Should the alcohol age be lowered to 18? In my country that already happens. Kids drink and make mayhem or just do it for fun. I don't think that's dangerous, what is stupid and dangerous is when a 40 something year old man comes home drunk and beats his wife and children. Should the war in Iraq be called off? Yes, I think so. Assisted suicide is illegal..do you agree? No, I don't agree. I think it should be legal and that a person that wants to help you die faster and painlessly should not be held responsible. Do you believe in spanking your children? Some children and some deeds need a physical reprimand. A mother is declared innocent after murdering her 5 children in a temporary insanity case..what do you think? Stepehen said this: "I do not believe in "temporary insanity". I do believe in unbridled rage. If you kill someone in a fit of rage you should still be held accountable. I do not believe that insanity can come and go... you're either insane or not." I haven't thought about it like this before so I'm gonna give it some time for it to settle in. It's between you and a person who is being kept alive by life support machines.. one has to die? Who? I believe in euthanasia, I know it is as debatable as abortion, but I believe that a person under life support machines it's not alive. Of course said choice would be made if doctors assure me that there are little or at all chances of recovery. Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers? No, I am not. I never hide my true convictions and my friends already know these things. Current Mood: calm Current Music: Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows (Comment on this)

8:49 pm	Another week has passed and it has been a long one to me. Depression kicked in for no apparent reason and now I'm all sad and shit. I miss my friends, especially Danina. Grrr!! And since I'm at it I'll put a pic with my new hair. I cut the extra hair on the nape. I don't have an undercut now and I think I'll stick to having a lot of hair for once.

3:40 pm	Well it's been a while since I last wrote anything of real interest in this journal. On the 20th I stopped going to work since the shop closed, so I've had time to focus on my exams. I received the results to 2 out of 3 and I passed both. Go me! I live in Ploiesti now and grrr I really don't know if I should get another job or stay lazily home. Well the Paul period has come to an end faster than I anticipated which is a real relief. Things are going way better since he's been out of the picture. He still has lots of money to give me but it's not like I care that much, I'm glad I'm not under his influence anymore. I did start another relationship but we shall see where that one will go. :) It's still fresh and I don't want to talk about it. Well I can say it's a million times better than anything that was before. I bought a Tiger Army and an AFI t-shirt, but I didn't have time to take pics with them yet! I also need a haircut. Meh!

10:04 am	I'd like to write something creative and worth telling and in the same time talk about my life but I can't really spit out anything but pain. 1. Love is overrated. Try respect, try friendship, try admiration for common ideals, ideas, little or big things. 2. Sex is overrated. It's just something your mind forgets and your body craves. In the end when your soul is bleeding you don't give a flying fuck on a pen*s or a finger or a pair of t*ts or a bloody kiss. 3. Faith in people is overrated. They lie. They are lazy. Don't trust them and be surprised when they keep their word. Fuck 'em all and do things only for yourself. Keep in mind that so few people matter... so so few... 4. Studies are overrated. Really. I know people that are freaking amazing and they don't have so many studies and diplomas. They help; but don't believe that if someone went to college he's brilliant. 5. Black and white is overrated. In life make compromises but don't forget to stay true. Life's in shades of grey; not black and white. Current Mood: melancholy (Comment on this)

9:51 am	Well I have a hella lot of problems lately but I'll just ignore them for now. I am thinking about dying my hair black again. It grew and it doesnt look so good. Plus, I'm sorta tired of the red. I am also thinking about buying myself a pair of boots. I saw some amazing pointy boots but they had high heels and I'm not in for that. I saw a pair with no heels and I just need to get my salary to go shopping. :) This weekend was worth it for once. On Saturday I was alone at work and I managed to survive without screwing everything up. Go me! And then I stayed in town and hanged out with some of Paul's friends. It was okish! I bought myself new ear tunnels, they have 6 mm and I am trying to stretch my ears now. On Sunday I went home [leaving aside the drama and tears] and I met Morgue and Freddy. It was amazing meeting up with her once again. We planned her coming to Bucharest next weekend seeing as I'm free the entire Saturday. And I also noticed I will be free on the weekend after the 26th October which might just make my b-day seem a nice one. We shall see.... Well now I'm at work and Paul will meet up with me after work. A lot of hours to go but they shall all pass... like always. Current Mood: okay Current Music: Mariah Carey from the TV [dies] (Comment on this)

3:58 pm	I'm at home, back in Ploiesti. Shall go to work by train, I've only did it once or twice [cause I spent some nights at Paul's] and I've caught a cold. It shall rock so much! =/ Well, what can I say... I am tired and I feel like sleeping so so much but I should meet up with Morgue at 6 pm so no time for sleep. I haven't seen her in 2 months and I miss her a lot. I just can't show my enthusiasm since I'm tired and sick. =/ Hopefully I'll feel better outside! *yawn* And then to eat or not to eat is the question of the day... It seems I've worried for nothing for two weeks cause my period is here and everything seems fine. Now I just have to lose the extra kilos I got while stressing over this! I'll get paid on the 1st October. I shall put some money aside and then spend some. Though I have no idea on what! Maybe some new piercings cause the other ones were stupid and I took 'em out.
