Friendscut, Easter, work, LARP.....

[kseenaa]

So... I decided to cut a bit more in my flist. I'M SO SORRY! I thought I'd be able to keep up the way it was, but... apparently not. I really really hope this was enough of a cut so I can keep up now. Since I kinda don't want to cut more. To those I had to let go, it's been GREAT knowing you!

Anyone is OF COURSE free to cut me from their f-list as well. I don't mind at all. :-)

And now onwards to something totally different.

Easter was great, it really was. We went to my mothers and spent the night and got spoiled. As per usual. :-) Mom's gentleman caller was there to. They spend as much time as they can together. He is really nice, with a great sense of humor and makes my mom very very happy, so I am happy for her.

I did do one stupid thing though. My sensitivity against cats BLEW UP! Because I forgot to eat my meds. :-P You're supposed to eat them a few days before exposure to whatever it is you are allergic or sensitive against, and... I didn't. Stupid. *face-palm* I have no problem with our cats, but moms? Yeah, problem. And I can't help but cuddle with them, because they are GORGEOUS! And LOVES being cuddled. And totally spoiled. :-)

Plus I got to meet my wonderful, wonderful little brother that I love so dearly! And his kids! BONUS! :-D

So we had a great time!

Only sad thing was that when I talked about my job, which I am sorta proud of managing the chaos and I do very much care about the kids... I found out that mom's gentleman caller was somewhat racist. :-/ Fuck. As soon as he found out the amount of refugees it's in the area I work and sorta how many refugee kids there is at the school I work at... The previously relaxed happy talk turned... less so. Geezes. So disappointed. And he clearly hadn't read up, because he didn't need to, according to him. 'That kind of people are always like that.' *head-desk* UGH! So I just stopped him right there and said I would NOT discuss this until he'd read up on shit and knew what the hell he talked about. 'The Koran tells them to kill and harm.' Seriously? BULLSHIT! Open the damn book before you speak! I am so not talking about my job near you ever again.

Anyway, so apart from that, I had a good time. And Alexandra to, which was wonderful. As always though, she hardly ate anything. And then we came home Monday afternoon and she ate to much and to fast and... threw up all over herself at bedtime. *SIGH* So I had to stay home from work one day so she could recover from that.

The three days I did work has... been both lazy and batshit stressful at the same time. Yeah, I don't even know. And there hasn't been any kids in the library either, or the entire school! I got emails about meetings left and right and... Then noticed that on Wednesday and Thursday next week I'm supposed to be at two or three places at the same damn time. WTF??? I had to ask my boss what to give priority to. *shakes head*

Thank heavens it's the weekend now. And this will be a good weekend, I just KNOW it!

Tomorrow I get to sleep how long I want. SO RARE! SO NICE! OMG! I LOVE MY SLEEP INS! And then tomorrow night it's LARP-night. And I'll play my mentally idiotic but physically extremely strong Gangrel vampire... Let's see how much trouble I can get her in this time? X-D I've played her for nearly 4-5 years now, and she's a riot to play. She really is. It has ended up a bit of a sport for me to see how much shit I can get her in and if I can even get her out in one piece. X-D So far so good. She's still alive (sorta) and kicking. ;-)

I also thought the post apocalyptic Fallout LARP last summer would be the last one in that world/setting, but I found out a few weeks ago that there would be a new one this year. Since the city was NOT going to destroy the lovely military training area were it's been held, but instead restore it somewhat and clean up all the shit in the area. AWESOME! Means there will be A LOT of LARP's and soft airgun games and paint ball games and other sorts of nerdy activities there... And the city gets paid a nice rent every time anyone wants to borrow the area. ;-) Win-win for everyone! It really is a perfect place for a post apocalyptic LARP!

And in a couple of weeks there'll be a special vampire-LARP to! Set in the same world we normally play in, but the medieval ages. peting73 didn't want to go, so told me to. :-D YAY! Gonna be fun!

Thanks for not cutting me (yet)! I'm going to have to do a cut myself soon, because yeah, it's impossible to keep up...

Sorry to hear about your mother's beau -- that must have been so disappointing.

Have fun at the LARP tomorrow. Your character sounds really cool!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha! Well, I hope I won't have to do any more friendscuts. That friending meme was INSANE!!!

Yeah, it really was. He's so so so nice, and then this showed up... Not a fun discovery. :-P

My character is a riot to play, I am having SO MUCH FUN playing her!

Before I lived with my best friend I had to take benedryl before I went over there. But then after I lived there a while I got used to them and didn't need it.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think that's what happened here to. That my body just got used to the cats we have here, but are not used to mom's cats. :-)

Surprise racism is always distressing. Well, any racism is, but when it's by someone who's family or close to a family member and you're caught unawares... no, not okay, very awkward, and upsetting.

Thanks for keeping me on your f-list!

Yeah, it made me so sad and a little pissed to hear it. Both because mom is totally in love with him (and that is so cute!) and because well, he's been so so so nice up until I found this out. Such a sad thing. Sure, it's a generation thing (he's 68), but still.

[titacats.livejournal.com]

Sucks about your mom's gentleman friend's views.

Ooh Gangrel!! When I played it was always Toreador or Ventrue. So the medieval LARP, will it be Vampire:Dark Ages?

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's Vampire The Masquerade Minds Eye Theater we've played all these years and still do. :-) So the special LARP is going to be Dark Ages, and apparently a Lasombra written thing that one of our GM's found and figured would fit nicely as a background story for the whole history and plot for our city in game. :-D Gonna be SO MUCH FUN!

I hate racists I really do. Especially because they sprew unnecessary hate and lots of prejudice about a specific group of people -_-'

But I'm happy to hear that easter went great, for the most parts :D

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

That's true. It's really sad. My mom is so in love with him, and he is totally cool and a lot of fun all other times. And then this. So disappointed, to be honest. Can't say I'll mention my job again when he's close by. :-/

[mariesen.livejournal.com]

Super sad :-/ I can totally understand why you won't mention your job around him again. No one needs that kind of negativity.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

That's exactly how I feel, yeah. :-P I just hope mom understands where I'm coming from with doing it like that.

[oo-fifi-oo.livejournal.com]

Most of my family is racist and homophobic so it's hard for me to talk about those subjects with them. We try to avoid it altogether not to fight. They do get less racist/homophobic now though, now that I've explained some things to them and they met some of my gay friends. It's a work in progress...so I get where you're at with your mom's friend.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Urgh. A shame. With mom I can talk about EVERYTHING (literary) and she is very very open minded (she's 63). Sadly though, her gentleman caller / love is not (he is 68). It's so disappointing and such a shame when he is so nice otherwise. :-/

[oo-fifi-oo.livejournal.com]

Older people tend to be set in their old ways usually so it seems to be the case for this gentleman sadly :(

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

So true. I think that is the way things are here with him being 68. Makes me wonder though since my mom is very VERY open-minded when she's 63. Just 5 years difference...

[oo-fifi-oo.livejournal.com]

It depends on the people of course. Some will adapt to the time they live in and some won't and will always keep their old views

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

Allergies. Ugh.

It's awful your mom's gentleman is a racist. I don't understand how "good people" can reconcile that in their heads and hearts.

A sleep-in and LARPing sounds like an excellent weekend plan.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Allergies can be a real pain in the butt sometimes, yeah. :-P

And I totally agree with you that those 'good people' can still have racist views. It's crazy and just don't add up. I was so disappointed, I really was.

[zeph317toho.livejournal.com]

Happy late Easter! Glad that you had a pretty good time with family! And hope you're having a wonderful time at LARP! :D

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

The LARP was so awesome even though I had to cut it short. It's always so so so much fun! Time will tell if my character will survive or not. ;-)

[trepkos.livejournal.com]

I found out that mom's gentleman caller was somewhat racist.

Oh no! Very awkward, and disappointing. I hope you can educate him.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Since he is 68 years old, I think educating him will be hard. I told him though that I would NOT discuss with him until he'd read up on the subjects first. End of discussion and I didn't trade a word on the subject again with him.

I feel mostly bad for mom, since she is VERY open minded, so that's just... Yeah. The disappointing thing is that he si so so SO nice in all other things.

[manoah.livejournal.com]

I get it on the friends thing. Coming back from vacation and finding sooo many posts! I'm just going back to April 1st and trying to catch up. We'll see how it all shakes out.

Allergies. Boo. Racists. Extreme Boo.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I kinda had to do a cut. It was no way I could keep up and it just kept stressing me out. And that's not good. So a cut it was.

I don't mind if those I'm not friended to keep reading my posts, that's fine. Or want to cut me instead, that is also fine. :-) I'm an open book here, so it's up to everyone really. :-)
