silence <3

Everything is calm again. All relatives are at their homes again. I really love spending time with them but sometimes it is just exhausting. Everyone was happy ^^ though my mother was sick last night, so I'm glad she could eat again this afternoon. Even my grandmother called and asked if she could eat allready again xD. We got lots and lots of presents but also made a lot of them (:

Here are pictures from yesterday's food.




yummy <3

-___-

I baked the whole afternoon today, and the whole evening :( and still haven't baked all the things I have to. Tomorrow my relatives are going to visit us for tea, there will be 10 of us, and my relatives eat a lot. On sunday my mom, my brother and my boyfriend's parents will come for tea ^^. I hope there's something left for them...

I made brownies (or at least some brownie-inspirated cake xD), coffee-eclaires, pineapple jelly with coconutcream, strawberry-cupcakes and some sandwich-spreads, and tomorrow I will be baking a cheesecake.

I'm on the ergometer now... hating all food ^^.

....

I've been ill for past 2 weeks, guess I survived swine flu :P
And I took pictures of the tons of sweets my relatives brought. Hope I'll post them soon..

Stamp Out Prejudice....

.... Hatred and Intolerance Everywhere.

On november 26th 2007 a girl named Sophie Lancaster was kicked to death.
On their way home she and her boyfriend where walking through a park.
There they were attacked by several teenagers.
As a result of Sophie's injuries she went into a coma and never woke up again.
All that just because they dressed differently and stood out, they were part of the gothic subculture.




It's terrible how cruel people can be and how full of prejudices they are.
I know how it is to be "different" and how people treat you, I made several bad experiences in the past.

As I mentioned in my first post I am not only into Lolita, I am (and have been for years now) also into metal and dress that way. When I go out, no matter if I'll go to the grocery store, to university or just meeting friends, I will either be wearing one of my fancy dresses or jeans in combination with a band-t-shirt and a studded belt.
On the one hand there are the funny things that happen to you like people changing to the other side of the road or things like that, but on the other hand I also have been thrown things at, and that's not okay.
I can live with being cat-called or given strange looks, but I am not okay with physical attacks.

The Sophie Lancaster Foundation aims to educate people about being tolerant, which is a great thing. My boyfriend and me just donated.

First try and a second chance

This is actually the second time I own a blog, but it's the first time I write in English, or at least I try to.
A lot of things in my life changed recently and somehow I got the feeling I had to write down my thoughts, feelings and experiences, so I decided to start a blog again.
I hope I'll write as much as I used to and refresh my "rusty" English. ^^
Maybe I will also share some pictures, which would be a first try as well, because I am kind of camera-shy.

Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself:
My name is Sabrina, but in rl most people call me "Sabs" ^^'.
Last year I moved from St. Pölten to the so called "Weinviertel" to live with my lovely boyfriend and our two cats.
I study pharmacy at the University of Vienna and like a lot of things, that don't match up, but a mixture of all these things is me.

To give you just a short impression: I love black metal (but also other kinds of metal), including the muddy festivals and combat boots.
Then there are tea, cooking, books but also frilly dresses, which are part of a fashion called "Lolita" (and no, this has nothing to do with Nabokov's novel).
I am a (part time?) lolita for almost a year now, but somehow I managed to not meeting or knowing any other lolitas so far, but I hope to get to know some soon!
Maybe I should be more active on LJ.
