An update on most things! I AM ALIVE!

[kseenaa]

I am not dead! I am still alive and around! I don't know why I haven't updated much... Uhu... Guess I haven't had that much to say. :-P

Well, that is not entirly true either. I have had a good time as well. Let's see if we can split this up, shall we?

Pregnancy

Not many days left now... IF Nerd Jr keeps to schedule he/she will be born around 6th of August. That is just four weeks from now, if that. I've been asked if I am nervous about the delivery. And I can honestly say both yes and no to that. I mean, of course I am nervous. But not the OMG-SO-MUCH-PANIC-nervous. I am pretty calm about it, really. I've been to the maternity ward at the hospital already. Seen it, said hi to a few midwifes/nurses. Even meet a Doc there who was very kind. So yeah. I feel very confident I'll get the best of care. I know what pain-meds they have, and I know what I'd like to try first before they bring the big guns. I mean, I feel pretty good about it, even if I am slightly nervous to.

Nerd Jr is doing just fine. :-) Been on regular checkups and even though she/he is on the lower scale, she/he still grows as she/he should. She/He is just a small baby. :-) (And I got wide hips, so that should work out fine!) Laying with her/his head down now all prepared and everything, so all I gotta do now is wait. And wait. :-P

Only thing that is currently bothering me is my feet. They are swollen, and uncomfortable. Not achy, just... uncomfortable. And my legs and feet get tired very very quickly. :-P All in all my energy is kinda low at the moment, and I do take naps every day. :-P Not so very fun. Well, that and when Nerd Jr is poking my ribs. :-P There's a lot of action in there now!

LARP and LARP-friends

I love my LARP-friends. I really really do. :-) They are all so cute and they are all so so excited about Nerd Jr like you all wouldn't believe! I've had to promise several times to come visit with Nerd Jr, which I will do. I've gotten questions if it is OK for them to make gifts for her/him (which it is). And when I was a the LARP the last time on the 7th, they were all "Oh, sit here! This is the comfy chair! Can we help you? Are you OK? How's the baby? Can I pat the belly?" They are just the cutest ever! And anyone who try to tell me that goths and metal heads and alternative rockers and all around alternative people are scary people? Come here and I'll tell how it REALLY works...

From now on I'll be dealing with my character online only. I just... can't go to the LARP and act her out anymore, what with swollen feet and big belly and all that. So no LARP all night long for me for a year or so until Nerd Jr has grown up some and I can go back to it. No, I won't give it up. Why would I? It is my most beloved hobby. There'll be less of it, for sure. But I won't stop LARPing or roleplaying. I just wont.

Friends

Had a very very nice visit from astroflammante and tekiila the other day to! My goodness... We've known each other long now, haven't we? :-) Since 2001 no less. :-) Anyway, it was really really fun to get a visit from them! They were here on a vacation just to go shopping in Gothenburg, hanging out with friends and just have a good time. After an incident with taking the wrong buss... they came over here and we hung out for quite a few hours! :-D Was awesome! They to came to the conclusion that Nerd Jr is going to be the nerdiest kid ever... Approriate nickname for kid then, I believe... *lol* They checked out the apartment and the changes we made, then we just hung out and talked, had dinner, talked some more... and almost had them miss their train! X-D Oups! *lol* It happens when you have a good time, I suppose. :-)

They gave me a gift to! Even though it is not my birthday quite yet, and well... astroflammantes birthday is before mine... I still got a gift. :-) A book (no surprise there, we're all librarians!) that I've been curious at for a bit, actually. It is a Young Adult book... well, I'd say a book for all ages from what I've read about it. Fantasy/creepy/horror... aka right up my ally. :-) The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I didn't even know it was translated to swedish, but apparently it is. I really look forward to read it once I am done with the book I currently read. :-)

Fandom

I am currently having my brain picked on a daily basis... HA HA HA! X-D

Me having my brain picked:


The G/T/G fic me and snowstormskies are working on have again picked up speed. :-) Hence why she is picking my brain every day and calling me a co-writer (how the hell did that happen?). We have almost finished the first part of it now. Not the first chapter. Oh no... This has grown so huge, it is split into parts... then those parts will be split into chapters. It's huge. We have over 20 parts (also to be split into chapters) filled with ideas and stuff to write. None of us knows how this ended up this huge, but it did. And here we are. So much love to our waiting steinsgrrl. I hope you can be patient with us just a lil more? Sorry you had to wait so long to beta this. We still need you! And we love you for agreeing to beta this monster of a fic!

LJ-friends

There are a few of you that I really really worry about. Geezes, life has really hit you over the head or everything is just black or... just... I don't know. And I worry about you. So so much. And I am told not to, since I have other stuff in life to worry about myself. But you know what? Just because I am about to become a mom, doesn't mean I'll forget my friends here on LJ. It really doesn't. You are on my mind daily, and I worry and think about you. I really do. Hang in there all of you. *hugs*

Livejournal

I know this will probably upset people, so WARNING! This will be a mini-rant.

I see this all over the place on Livejournal, and I seriously don't get it. Posts saying that Livejournal is dying, that nothing is happening on Livejournal and everything is so boring here and... etc, etc, etc... And I am just... sitting here looking at those comments and posts with a big ? over my head, because really? My f-list is as active as ever. I have a hard time keeping up still. I just do not get it. And if your f-list has turned slow and those you've followed have left.. then go find another community and meet new people. Start a community up and meet new people! Don't be to lazy and just stick to your own f-list and refuse to look at new green pastures. One shouldn't be afraid of new things and changes. (Even though that is exactly what the entire LJ-community is, but that is another rant for another day.)

Right so, that's it for today. Some update, eh? *lol* I'll get better at updating, promise! Now to answer all them comments I've slacked off answering. Onwards and upwards, everyone!

Nah, not really. :-) But you gotta admit it is an odd hobby for a momma, isn't it? ;-) Anyway, no plans of giving up. As long as the LARP exists... I'll be part of it. One way or another. *grin* As mom said when I talked on the phone with her last, there is no reason what so ever to change ones interests or hobbies... There'll be less time for it, of course! But that makes the time you CAN spend on it the more precious. :-) I'll take her word for it for now. ;-)
