This is KSena

Usually a friendly sort. Be nice to me, and I am nice to you. Here I ramble on about me, life, work and fandoms. I am a fan of Robin of Sherwood, Xena: Warrior Princess, Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tokio Hotel and Sons of Anarchy. I don't apologize for anything I write here. This is my mind. And you entered it. Welcome.

LJ and Russia

So... Yeah. Servers moved to Russia. Not a change of company (yet).

Dude. I've been here since 2003. (See my Archive.) I think I've seen it all at this point. Fights. Dramas. Lock downs. Close downs. Changes (so many changes). New companies (so many companies).

This LJ stays where it is. It has a mirror on Dreamwidth, same username. But I am NOT reading there, OK? I'm even pointing out that the main blog is here in my DW profile. This is where I follow communities and such. And the few friends I do have and can keep up with. You're free to friend there to of course, but I thought you'd know how I work with it. There's links below on every post.

Right.

Back to... whatever you've been doing.

I've been organizing my files today. And made a bunch of phone calls. Tomorrow I'll be doing some more phone calls, because that's my jam when on sick leave, apparently.

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. [livejournal.com profile] peting73 didn't want to go, so told me to. :-D YAY! Gonna be fun!

So... Game of Thrones. I have two more episodes to watch out of season five and I have come to the conclusion that Georg RR Martin and the people working on this show are... batshit insane... and genius.

I don't even have words. All I can keep my fingers crossed for is that Tyrion Lannister will survive. I know you should not have favorites in this show, because EVERY FUCKING ONE is dying but I can't help but love that crazy ass dwarf. Also, Peter Dinklage is bloody amazing.

I still wanna slap some sense in Jon Snow though. STOP BEING SO FUCKING NOBEL!!!

Anyway. Enough of that.

Apart from some lovely relaxation with my online friends, some online-RP each evening, reading on my lovely lovely F-list and just mainly hang out, I have not done that much at home. Energy when getting home from work? I haz none.

Work has been and will continue to be insane. This week was no exception. I like the fact that I had counted on one day to be fucking insane where I had three classes AND had to keep the library open during opening hours... But it was easy sailing that day. And the days where I had only one class and to keep the library open during opening hours was... fucking insane.

As always in this school, count on the unexpected. And never expect anything at all to go according to plans.

I did have some lovely moments in the library with a girl who is a practicing muslim, is a feminist and active as such online, is writing some really powerful poems together with her grandmother and has gotten a book of poems published by her grandmother in a small scale. Did I mention the kid was 16? :-) Kickass girl. She'll go far.

I have more cool girls and boys like that in the library that likes to hang out there because it's like the only moderately calm place in the school. It's just very very cramped and small and dull and boring, what with the temporary premises at the moment. After summer though, I'll have a fresh new library in a fresh new school. I can NOT WAIT!

But to counteract the niceness, of course there was some insane kids to. :-P There was a fight at one point outside the library that it took quite a few teachers to break up. (4-6 teachers, I think?) And with fight I mean a fight involving fists and kicks... :-/ Rest of the kids around just laughed and the fighters claimed they were just joking.

Right. My ass you did. :-/ You don't try to kick a guy in the face as a joke. Thank heavens none of them knew well enough what they were doing.

Then there's the normal mess and mayhem, of course. In which I mean shouting, loud laughing, chairs dragged around or thrown around, books (not the libraries) that is thrown around, phones and keys that has gone missing, teen-drama with crying girls coming to the library, kids that are trying to skip class by sitting in the library (not on my watch), etc, etc, etc... I could go on...

And I told one of the recreation leaders (aka an adult keeping an eye on the kids in the hallways) that was planning a spoken world / poetry slam project for the school at some point, I told her that I had managed to get Dogge Doggelito to the school, since he has the same background as the kids there and has made it, in a way. She, as so many others, are a rapper as well, and she laughed in my face saying he sucked ass and that I should spend money on her and other 'artists' that are already working in the school. Well, excuse me for trying to do something nice for this school. It was as if I'd insulted her by hiring Dogge Doggelito to have lectures at the school. I don't even know...

*sigh* I have mentioned it's slightly chaotic in the school I work, right? Well, yes. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing I apparently thrive in chaos. At least the teachers and most of the kids like me and think I do a good job. Fingers crossed that will continue.

Friday... Oh my gawd, where to even begin?

Well, to be honest i started Thursday already. Doing a few hours in the public library closest the school I find out that the day after, Friday, me and two other school librarians are to meet up and discuss the reading program for the summer holidays so all will be planned and done.

Crap. I'd already made plans with two teachers to have one class come borrow books and to visit another class. And it was my turn to bring in the Friday FIKA muffins...

Stressing already on Thursday I make sure I have the car the next day.

Friday morning I wake up stressed out. Get Alexandra to daycare without any issues, since she is in a moderately good mood these days (she got new pink wellington boots). Hurry back home and pack up the car. Hurry to work, get the FIKA muffins set up, so anyone can grab one whenever they decide to FIKA. Hurry around the school and find both teachers to reschedule. Class borrowing books coming to the library right away first thing when their class started. And then get to the public library for the meeting. I was only 20mins late. I still can't believe I managed that. And to make it worse one of those school-librarians are a whiny bitch, to be quite honest. The smallest thing is a huge struggle for her and she will let you know. Loudly. And then laugh about it. And then whine again. I just can't with that woman. Unfortunately she's the librarian of the school library closest to mine, so... I have to work with her on occasion. Pisses me off, to be honest.

And to think the rest of the day was calm? *LOL* No. I was still stressed the hell out with that start to my day.

So I was supposed to go to the rescheduled class, and when I get there I find out I can't talk to the class right then because they have to discuss these tests that all schools in Sweden do, so no librarian is welcome right then. And I had to reschedule when my schedule for next week already is so insane I just can't with it.

If someone tells me working as a librarian is calm and relaxing I'm going to punch them in the face.

Gladly today has been relaxing and calm. Alexandra wanted to visit her grandmother, MIL. So we did that and I love my MIL. I really do. We talked for nearly three hours straight, if not more. (Yes, I did complain a bit about Peting, her son. And she agreed with me. *LOL* Felt good.)

I'm caught up with F-list now, but not with my inbox. Holy hell, people! o.O I might have to cut a bit in my f-list if this continues, because I won't be able to keep up. I'll give it a few days, but yeah... we'll see. :-) If any of you need to do that as well, feel free to. I don't mind at all. :-)

I am in SO MUCH PAIN! X-/ Equal relationship we are not.

How a laundry day goes:

[livejournal.com profile] peting73 throws first two loads in the washing machine when he gets home from work, then goes to daycare to pick up Alexandra. Plays with her and eats a fruit, then changes the loads in the washing maching, getting two more loads going. Cooks late dinner. I get home, help with dinner. I take care of the cats litterbox. Peting puts Alexandra to bed, then goes to computer. I take care of all dishes. I prepare my breakfast for the morning. I pick up any mess. I go down to get all the laundry, fold it and put it away. All of it. And today I baked muffins to bring to work on Friday. It's now 11pm and I just NOW got to sit down.

Did I mention my hip hurts like hell? *grumpy* I seem to get stuck doing the bigger parts of the household work, and I'm the one that gets home at the latest!
