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.

I am aaaaall about the memes these days, aren't I? First you had to live with listening to my terrible voice, and now you have to look at what I look like. Without makeup. I feel sorry for you. *lol*

Anyway, this is going around at the moment. Take photos of yourself as you prepare yourself for the day kinda deal... So here is my take. This is what I do. After my shower, that is. :-)

Makeup meme photos follows now! (If you for some reason want to see them bigger, the photos are clickable.)

Aaaaand... since we are on the subject, I saw a vid that [livejournal.com profile] velociraptorx posted in her LJ where her friend shows how you can make your boobs look better then fake boobs... I am actually considering trying her tricks. *grins* I mean, it can't harm? Right? ;-) I must say she is really funny and quirky, so it is worth watching the vid for that alone. :-)

How to trick people into thinking you have big boobs.. )

Good gawd... Now I feel girly... How scary... *shudders in discomfort*

Pirate girl...
My poor baby cat...

If you follow my Twitter, you might have seen me tweet about how worried I was for my baby last night.

Around 11pm yesterday Verdandi started growling and hissing out of nowhere. Now, both off our cats are very silent. They might mew silently now and then, but very seldom and just to let us now that 'Hello! I am here! Pet me?'. So when Verdandi started growling and hissing (something I've never heard her do), I figured something was really wrong, and my heart jumped up my throat.

Sitting down on the floor I talked to her and petted her and tried to figure out what was wrong... She continued to growl and hiss at me. Wanting to keep my skin firmly in place, I was quite careful. Our cats have all the claws left (I am firmly against de-clawing or cutting the claws of cats), so if she got pissed enough at me, there would be blood...

Since Skuld and Verdandi are indoor cats, I couldn't figure out what she could have done? I mean, we've made sure our apartment is very VERY cat-friendly. Carefully feeling over Verdandi, it was clear the front of her body was not a problem. She got nuts when I touched the back of her body, but I couldn't figure out if it was her legs or her stomach...

Cue me being worried as hell until [livejournal.com profile] peting73 came home. When he did, we both talked and cooed over Verdandi trying to figure out what was wrong using both our brains. It seemed as one of her hind legs was the problem... And when we urged her to move, we saw a slight limp.

Right. So today our girl has been to the vets for a check up. I was nervous as hell until she got home. Apparently she'd somehow pulled a muscle, straining it. o.O I didn't even know cats could DO that! Especially not an indoor cat who doesn't move around quite as much as an outdoor cat... So now she got painkillers especially for cats that will also prevent any swelling. And she is doing much better, even if she doesn't wanna move around much, and goes all hissing and growling if one tries to pick her up. I am mostly leaving her alone, so she can rest.

Typically enough this happened on the busiest day of the week for me. :-P I worked from 8-12am at one library and then 2pm-6pm at another library. *head-desk* Luckily [livejournal.com profile] peting73 didn't start work until 1pm, so he could take Verdandi to the vet... Safe to say though, I was very distracted at work today.... I might not write about my dear darling cats Skuld and Verdandi often, but they are seriously my babies... I love them to death and was so, so worried about Verdandi today. When I got home for some lunch mid-day today, [livejournal.com profile] peting73 was off to the vet with Verdandi, leaving Skuld home alone when I got there... She was totally confused. She has never been without her sister and clearly missed her even that short amount of time. So I took some extra time cuddling Skuld today... She is usually more attached to [livejournal.com profile] peting73, but I guess today I was sufficient. :-)

Gawd I love them two black furballs... *sniff*

I haven't updated about my Saturday! Fail on me! *lol*

Yeah, it was AMAZING! SO MUCH FUN! :-D [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbit and I had the best plan EVER! X-D We were to cook food together, drink delicious cider (picked out to us by [livejournal.com profile] peting73) and watch the movie Thor. And that was just what we did! :-D

Lovely, lovely food... Chicken with a peanut butter and coconut milk sauce... SO MUCH YUM! And then we drank a french and a british cider with that. :-) And watched Thor... And nearly laughed so hard the food got caught in our throats. X-D IT WAS SO FAILTASTIC, MY GAWD! Brothers, my ASS... They probably fuck like bunnies... X-D You COULD say the slash went through the roof and once we watched the extra deleted scenes it went straight to the stratosphere. X-D Geezes CHRIST! Was the scriptwriters even aware of what they wrote? Probably not since they took a bulldozer and went straight over everything known about old Nordic Mythology. There was not a single thing right there, at all.

The best part of this failtastic movie though, was... the actor playing Thor himself. Both me and [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbit was pleasantly surprised. He was not only a real HUNK! But was quite a nice actor to with some really AMAZING eyes... Not to mention watching the usually so serious Stellan SkarsgÄrd be drunk off his ass is always a plus!

So it wasn't a total loss. ;-)

Some photos!

Friends and food! )

After that we went downtown to find a good club and dance our ass off! And that we did. There is a club downtown called Brasseriet where there is this excellent mix of people, all from the age off 18 to the age off 60!

So that's where we went, and we danced and we laughed and we looked at people and we danced some more and we bought two drinks more and we danced some more... I ran into a an co-worker from the horrible job I had once, who was ecstatic to see me telling me how gorgous I was! That is always awesome to hear. :-)

And [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbit ran into this really nice (and cute!) guy who she talked to quite a bit... ;-) Phone-numbers were exchanged, but that is all I know... For now. :-D Keeping my fingers crossed though!

Then we stumbled home to [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbits apartment, and I slept on her sofa bed.

It was really a brilliant, brilliant Saturday!

Coming home on Sunday I found out that [livejournal.com profile] peting73 had had an awesome impromptu October fest as well! :-D He had his mates had been drunk off there asses and played games and talked and listened to music... "Manly music..." or so [livejournal.com profile] peting73 says. Don't know what that means totally... X-D Important thing is they had fun, really... and the apartment was looking just as nice when I came home as it did when I left, just with added bottles in the kitchen. :-)

Rest of Sunday me and [livejournal.com profile] peting73 just took it easy and didn't do a thing, because you know... We were tired. He he he...

As you can see on the carnage after [livejournal.com profile] peting73s party here:

Beer-bottles! )

Anyway, then came Monday and my first day at the big city library downtown, or evening since I worked from 3pm-8pm. My gawd. It is so, so different then working in those smaller neighborhood libraries or the school libraries... I was even asked what the difference was by a librarian there, while working putting up books in the shelfs. And, as most of you should know, if you ask me something you get a straight answer. So I told her. The biggest difference is that you don't get the same connection with the visitors like you do in a smaller library where you usually get to know them by name and know exactly what books they like to read. The librarian asking me, told me that this was not a conversation we should have here where anyone could hear about the inner workings about the library... (Like it was such a great secret...) I just looked at her, and said... You asked.

Just saying, if you don't want a straight answer, you really shouldn't ask me a question. :-P

Anyway, it was fun if a bit confusing to work there, let me tell you! And I keep getting more hours there, so I suppose I did something good. :-)

Tuesday the writer Mattias Gardell came visiting the library talking about his new book Islamophbia. And wow... Just... wow... He hit so many important points in that book, my gawd... And now I want to see the Iranian TV-show Sara and her five men... about an Islamic woman and... her five men. *lol* I'd love to see that, my gawd! And did you know there is a goth and rock movement among young woman and girls in Irak and Iran and other Arabic countries, complete with shawls and everything? This is so awesome, I don't even... Everyone should read that book, just saying...

ANYWAY! I had the job to make sure that everyone coming had a ticket to see him, and I got a lot of kudos on how I dealt with that responsibility. Really, it wasn't that hard for me from all the times I've done jobs like that and worse working at the Student Union Pub. *lol*

Then Wednesday and today Thursday I had no job, so I've spent that time at home, hoping to be able to relax. HA! No such thing, since I woke up with a achy throat and my period started so I was knocked out by menstrual cramps. DAMMIT! Well, better I get these problems now, instead of next week... Because next week I work 6 days! o.O Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday AND Sunday! o.O Plus on Saturday evening we are going to visit my brother since he and his wife are celebrating their combined birthday! They have both turned 30 this year! ACK! Busy times!

Being slightly sick, I haven't had energy to do much else then sit here and read... So I've read up on all the FQF-fics (there has been some really nice stories with the G's this year! so glad to see they haven't been forgotten. :-) ) and I've read up on my F-list to. :-) Go me! I've seen a lot of my friends on my f-list going through some really tough times... I am so sorry to read that, and I want you to know I do think of you all...

Right. This turned long. Go you if you managed to read it all!

Cancer...
Now this has been a GREAT day! :-D Not only did it start off awesomely with the epically porny dream I had... Oh no... Didn't end there.

The library where I used to work, called me around 10am and asked if I could come in and work some extra hours. No problem! 11am to 3pm. Yep, yep... So off I went and got ready to do that. While doing that, [livejournal.com profile] peting73 said that they would probably ask me to stay on a few extra hours more then that... We both know how they work over there, but I didn't think they would ask me to today... Well, I was wrong since around 2pm... they asked if I had any plans today (I didn't) and if I could stay until 4pm. One more hour of work! No problem! So [livejournal.com profile] peting73 was right. Which will amuse him, I am sure. ;-)

When I got home though, the real surprise started....

Opening the mail box, it was stuffed... With two envelopes. From the USA. Cue me go: WHAT? o.O

Taking them up to the apartment I put them on the table:

Mystery packages... )

A big one, and a small one.... I did recognize the names when looking closely and thinking a bit, but the big one I had NO clue why I got and what on EARTH it could be in it?!?!

Figuring I should save the surprise for last, I started on the smaller one that I figured had to be from [livejournal.com profile] omgwtfskittles and the phone-cases she made for us. :-) And indeed it was! And they are fucking EPIC! :-D So awesome! And so us!

Wicked mobile-phone cases! )

Pretty aren't they? :-D I promised [livejournal.com profile] peting73 he could pick first. :-) So I don't know which one is going to be mine yet. But it's cool. I think they are both pretty awesome. ;-)

THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR MAKING THESE FOR US, [livejournal.com profile] omgwtfskittles!!!!!

Then it was time to empty the BIG envelope/package...

... and this feel out, having me go What the...? (Emma is my real given name, btw...)

Pile of stuff! )

Digging through the pile I found a letter from [livejournal.com profile] ruchirahni one of my oldest friends here on LJ. And Ruchi? You nearly managed to do what not many has.... You nearly had me in tears, woman... What the hell? WHAT A GIFT!!!! Your letter... the things... the THOUGHT you put into every little thing in there... My gawd.... There are no words... A literal treasure chest. I love you. You are such a beautiful gorgeous and caring woman... Zach should be so bloody happy to have you in his life... As should your... interesting... mother be. This was such a thoughtful thing to do. Hell, I had forgotten I gave you my address! X-D So this was a real surprise!

And spreading it out, this... this is what was in the pile:

A serious treasure.... )

From top left: A bookmark filled with various cocks in classical art! (That is so me, Ruchi, I KNOW! X-D) A funny postcard from Pompei. A postcard from the Hitchcock museum (Yep, I do like him very much...). A postcard of Leonardo Da Vincis helicopter. A postcard from Riomaggiore. Ruchis letter (I was sniffling reading it, I swear to anything holy...).
A miniature-sign from Brooklyn (so awesome! I can still sleep on your couch, right?). Some jewelry from India, earings and two bracelets (that you can't really see here, dammit! But it is very pretty, I must say... and will be used! When I do dress up, I dress up to the nines! Will look great with my suit. ;-) )
Center piece: A classic I <3 NY t-shirt! (Man, that is so cool! X-D) Next to it: A wall-calender with cats from Rom... (I adore cats... I really do. And these feral cats were so so gorgeous... Gorgeous photos in that calender.)
Bottom left: A kitchen magnet with New York City and the Statue of Liberty. A little notebook with my name on it, Emma, and a view of the Vatican (I might be an athiest, but I want to go there one day...) And lastly, a postcard from Sydney cut in two (now this one puzzles me... but I do remember your journey there, and me eagerly awaiting news...)

And the t-shirt? It fitted perfectly...

Fail-photo in the mirror! )

Woman. WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!? What did I do to deserve such a literal TREASURE chest sent to me?!? MY GAWD! So much in here that reminds me of you... of your journeys... your hardships... our discussions... Geezes... I... I really don't know what to say....

Kisses for my bitches...
I've been meaning to post this for a few days... But since the internet has been down since Sunday... I haven't been able to. :-P ANYWAY!!! Here comes the HUGE first post about the Fallout LARP this year. :-)

I HAD SO MUCH FUN, PEOPLE!!! :-D It was the best LARP I have EVER been to! Wow... Just... wow... Before the LARP I talked to J a bit about playing a couple... We've done it before, and we both have a seriously insane sense of humor... and he was all game for that, since it had started a little during the LARP last year anyway. So we did. AND HOLY SHIT!!! J is one insane LARPer... and skilled. So very, very skilled... And when he is plotting together with W? Things go even more insane... and then I got dragged into it. HOLY FUCK! I can't write anything about said story in an unlocked post though... Promised J not to. There is a lot of things that are mysterious and secret about his character still. Things that my character might be the only one that knows... Well, my character and two more. ;-) So the rest of the LARP is unawares... and he wants to keep it that way. :-D

So in this post... You'll only get photos. A SHIT-LOAD of photos! But still just photos. :-) If you want the whole story what happened to my character Katya Hollander, then go to THIS post and read the story. It is a loooong post, since a lot of stuff happened. But I think it is well worth a read. ;-) If you can't see the post, then ask for access and I'll friend you and make sure you can. :-)

If you wanna know more about the setting for this LARP, you can read about the game Fallout... It is the same setting. ;-)

Right! So! Photos! All photos are clickable for bigger!

Photos under here! )

The final countdown!
