*stealth hug*

Hi!!!

*tacklehuggles*

<3 How are you doing? I've been kind of... absent from lj.

Hehe. Yeah, I noticed. :)

I am doing good, thanks.

I ate a vegan cinnamon apple muffin a while ago and thought of you. :D

Hope you are as well. ♥

:D I'm doing great, thanks! I've turned into quite the health nut, although I still love baking... but I'm doing my best to resist temptation there *g* I'm on vacation right now and I'm doing lots of yoga and reading and playing video games, so I'm really relaxed and just... good. <3

That is good to hear. :)

I did start eating healther, too, but not in a nutty way. I think we talked about this Gemüseabo thingie I am doing? Still doing that, but that is about it. ;)

Still want to go to that vegan restaurant with you and Elli, though, next time I am visiting. It always sounds so yummy.

Also joined a gym for a year, though. My health insurance is paying two thirds of the costs, so why not? Not doing yoga, though. Doing a "Gerätezirkel" twice a week and a back stabilisation course thingie once a week.

Still don't really play videogames. I do own Lego Batman for the Wii and Assassins Creed for the PC, though. Might get into it any time now. Maybe. ;)

I want a vacation, too. But what with only having 20 vacation days a year and having to use quite a few (well, probably just two) of them on my brother's wedding (April the 1st) and the birth of my niece (well, she might be nice and come on a Friday evening, though I have put my money on June the 20th, so I am torn here :D) I have to save up some. Already lost four to "Behördengänge" and such. *shakes fist*

Look! I can still babble on for hours. ;)

Sattgrün is amazing! And I'm always happy about an excuse to go there.

The problem I tend to have with gyms is that after the first couple of weeks I stop going, because I can't bring myself to go outside and take the bus etc. So go you for doing it!
When I'm doing sports here, that works better. Once it's warmer outside, I want to go running again.

That sucks about your lack of vacation :/

Play Assassin's Creed! Assassin's Creed is my current obsession, next to comics and such. The first one is already not bad (the characters are <3), but Assassin's Creed 2 was what did me in. I just can't resist pretty men who banter with other pretty men. :p So no change there, either.

<3

I am totally giving you guys an excuse to go there next time I am there. :D

I think I would have the same problem. But if I didn't go regularly during this year, my health insurance wouldn't pay their part and I would have to pay for the year in full, which I can't afford. So I have to go three times a week (am allowed to miss 25 times over the year, but since I don't know when I'll be sick or away later this year, I try not to miss any (already missed one due to a muscle edema thingie)).

I am still doing this "at least 50 kilometers biking per week" thing I started last year and will probably continue to do that once the gym membership runs out. I love my new bike so very much. :D

Yeah, but work is slow this week, so I got some reading done anyway. Just can#t play videogames and I do have to get dressed and more importantly get up in the mornings to get here.

I am afraid my PC wouldn't be any good for Assassins Creed 2. It just barely fullfilled the running criteria for the first version (minimum of CPU). But it will probably take ages until I am through and then I might need a new desktop anyway. ;)

I am all for pretty men who banter with other pretty men, too. Nothing changed there either. :D

Yay for Sattgrün! Apart from their amazing dinner buffet, they also have really delicious desserts. Like apple-cherry crumble. Oh my. <3

Hm, but that you have to go in order for your health insurance to pay for it actually isn't a bad incentive, I guess!

I really need to repair my bike. Biking *is a lot of fun!

My laptop can't play any games (well, hardly any), so I know the problem :/ But well, the first one is good as well (I LOVE Altair, the main character), if a little repetative.

I'm currently playing Dragon Age: Origins, which is a lot of fun. And there's some gay romance in it, if you want, so that makes it even better :)

Apple-cherry crumble sounds amazing!

And after making vegan cookies this Christmas and having that vegan muffin and all, I can't even say it all tastes like "Pfützendreck" (yeah, just watched the link you gave Elli *gg*).

Yes, it is a good thing. For me, because I actually go and I think the effects are better if you do go regularly and for the health insurance company because they know that I go and that it is not some kind of insurance fraud and they pay for nothing.

It eats some time out of my days, but since I don't watch that much tv anymore anyway, it is not that bad.

Never was the biggest video game player. I only ever played Smash Football and Mario Kart on the GameCube I got from a friend. And Paper Mario is so far the only game you have to go through levels and get to finish eventually that I actually finished.

I need to get Mario Kart Wii, I think now that I have a Wii. And Guitar Hero, so next time we do that band thingie, I won't ruin all your songs again. ;p

Well, remember that sometimes vegans eat soup made from roots! ;)

I just made the most incredible thing:
raw cupcakes with an avocado chocolate topping (http://veganitaet.blogsport.eu/2010/05/28/raw-cupcakes-rohkost-muffins-aus-bananen-und-leinsamen-mit-avocado-schoko-creme/). It was my first attempt at s raw dessert, and WOW. Seriously, that topping is incredible. I made cupcakes before, and the topping consisted of margarine, vegetable shortening and way too much sugar - and it was nowhere as delicious as this! Gah, I am so excited!

I don't watch any tv at all these days. I just - I don't have the time, and I'm not interested, so I read instead. Or play videogames *g*

I never used to play that much, either, but then I got the Wii and now my PS3. I only bought it because of the Batman game, but now I've played quite a few games and I'm surprised by how much I like it. And yes, you should get Guitar Hero :) It's just so much fun.

And all I have at home are carots and celery. I wanted to put them in some broth and eat that. Now I feel like I have to buy meat, too. ;p

Oh, that sounds yummy. Doesn't look very yummy, though. ;)

Still, I emailed me the link and will include it to my link list.

I might get more into it once I play more, too. We will see. If I need game recs, I know whom to contact.

And yes, you should get Guitar Hero :) It's just so much fun.

I thought the second sentence was "you were that bad" first. ;p

I am poor, though and that stuff is expensive. I need to finish the games I already have first. Lego Batman! :D

Well, it looks different from what you're used to, but what do I care how it looks? My stomach certainly doesn't ;p (and wow, it's filling, too.. )

I'm trying to look more into raw food, actually, but I'm a bit intimidated still. But I'm going to attempt to make raw nut cheese later.

Lego Batman is brilliant. I <3 Lego Robin especially. And, well, Lego Nightwing!

I want to follow my hugging duties anyways. You know me ;)

*g* Yes, I do. That's very nice of you, and totally selfless. *nods*

It is! And I will go at it with joy on tuesday *evilgrin*

LOL. I'd be scared if I didn't have as much training as I do ;)

Hehe... I do have you well trained ;) You offered very little resistance though!

Well, as a nice man Borg once said: resistance is futile ;)

Now I feel special ;)

You are special! Especially to me <3

<3 I can wholeheartedly return that ceniment.

*smooches*

(And seriously, I don't think I've left that many comments on lj in a *year*. That's how special you are!)

I was wondering where that came from ;) Since you sunddenly are on lj. I think facebook is not a substitute for me aat all becaue I just don't feel well there.

I read an interestign article earlier too: http://52weeksofux.com/post/2712763697/is-facebook-temporary

It totally got me thinking.

I don't know where it's coming from, but I have decided it doesn't matter. I was even thinking about making a post.. but I don't know where to start. Ah well.

That is an interesting article, and one that certainly does have a point. Overall, I (used to) feel more comfortable on lj, but the status updated on FB are much easier to write than an lj post.
