Life as a mom... including fandom stuff and TV-shows and LARP and I don't even know what...

[kseenaa]

I've been failing quite hard with updates. If anyone would be interested in my life, that is. :-P

Alexandra grows so fast, I am having a hard time keeping up at times. She is soon 1 year old. o.O Where the HELL did time go? It'll be worse as she gets older, won't it...? *eyes mothers on f-list*

I don't do hugely much during the days. I try to get us out of the apartment at least once a day. Which makes me spread out my grocery shopping, so I just get a little a day, and go many days instead. Also, less to carry. And I have a tendency to forget things. *lol*

I planned to update about... something. But now I can't for the life of me remember what it was. I'll just continue to ramble, and maybe all you lot can make some sense out of it. *lol*

Baby Swimming class is all over and done with for Alexandra now. When we started, 16 weeks ago, she loved it. Then midway through, she started to be really fussy and crying after 15-20mins (each class was 30mins long) and then cry until I put her in the pram (after shower and cleaning...)... But the last two times went better... So I'll definitely keep this swimming thing up. I think it is good for her. Having a kid afraid of water is not an option when I LOVE to be in the water myself.

Also, I am watching up on Supernatural, since spicehobbit still gets to borrow season after season from one of her work-mates. Currently I am working my way through season 4. Yes, Castiel is pretty cool. Yes, this show seriously SERIOUSLY needs a subtitle. And that subtitle would be ANGST! *lol* Haven't finished off the season, so no spoilers please.

Talking about spoilers, thanx to my f-list for putting everything about Game of Thrones behind a cut. Swedish television will most likely not show season three until autumn/winter... So I will most likely not see it until then. LJ-cuts are my lovely friend, I will admit. Can't wait to watch more though!

And about Game of Thrones... I saw this today, and honestly.. It made my day! X-D I laughed SO HARD!

11 reasons why Xena is better then Game of Thrones!

Awesome, ain't it? X-D Either that or I am easily amused.

I've also checked out the Netflix series Hemlock Groove. Because I love werewolves almost as much as I love vampires. And hey, younger brother Skarsgård has one of the leads in it. Bill Skarsgård, that is. So I started to watch it. And got a flashback to Twin Peaks so hard my head started to spin! X-D And not in a bad way! If you get a chance, I highly suggest checking this series out. It is very well made and really good! :-D And got the coolest werewolf transformation I've yet to seen, seriously... AWESOME take on werewolf-myth there!

What I've been doing more?

Well... I've spent my evenings doing RP in g-chatt and G-docs with snowstormskies. She'd never ever done RP before, so when we started out, it was some misunderstandings with what RP really is and what you do and how it works and so on... I've been doing it for YEARS! Not to mention I LARP and do classical pen-paper-dice-roleplay to. But snowstormskies? Total beginner. But now? Now she's got the hang of it. AND HOW! It has been a LOOOONG time since I had this much fun in an RP. :-) The plot wasn't that complicated to start. But like with all RP's... It grew. And our characters took on a life. And now, at least I, am DAMN addicted... :-D

Also, older gang-Geo and hurt-jackrabbit-young-BotTom? Dude. It is fun. And how! X-D

The other day though, snowstormskies scared the shit out of me. She wanted to publish our RP on AO3 and was all excited about it. Now I've never let anyone not involved read my RP's. Unless you are the person I RP with, of course. Then you'll get it all, grammar and spelling mistakes as it is! So to publish that... feels weird, since it is quite private to me. We came to an understanding though, and she promised not to post it on any fic-sites, but IF (big if) it gets posted anywhere it'll be on our private LJ's or on our own community hydrafics. It would still feel weird to me, but if posted there? I can deal with it. :-) I don't feel like I belong on a fic-site, really. :-P

Anyway!

Talking about RP makes me think about the vampire-LARP as well! We go one time each me and peting73. Last LARP it was peting73s turn, and he had a lot of fun like always. :-D I love his character. He is SO AWESOME! X-D Think 1970's punkrocker with a cherry attitude and befriended with all the homeless people on the streets who he helps... and is a vampire to boot! *lol* He is SO CUTE! X-D

My character on the other has had some magic done to her of one sort or another which leaves her being a total bitch... on PMS. It is good that at least one of her two lovers (!) is effected by the same magic to. And yes. She DOES have two lovers! :-D One financially smart guy and one fighter all muscles and brawn. It is SO MUCH FUN to play out! :-D And yeah, I am good friends with both boys playing her lovers. :-D

I love the LARP and all the friends I've made there. Seriously. So glad my friend kaijn dragged me there way back in 2003 even though I had NO idea what it was all about back then. :-) Now I've been doing this none-stop for 10 years... Scary thought. X-D

Hey, this turned longer then planned! :-D It happens. ;-) I'll get better at updating! I hope at least. ;-)

You should have loads of fun when she starts crawling around, if she hasn't started already :P

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, she is crawling around alright. Caught her playing with one of the cats water-bowls. X-D Lazy times? No more! Not a dull moment!

I didn't know there was a Bill Skarsgard. He's a bit odd looking. It's the eyes.

Re: things getting worse as Alexandra gets older - some things will. Some things will get better. :)

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's plenty Skarsgård kids. Stellan was, and is, a busy man... He has eight kids. Four of them are actors... ;-) I like Bill in this one though, I gotta say. He is doing perfect in such a Twin Peaks feel of a TV-show. :-)

I just hang on for the ride with Alexandra, to be honest. And try to keep up. :-)

Giggling at the name snowstormskies. :D

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

X-D Hey... ;-) Don't tell her that!
