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 determined to finish this meme, even if I am beyond late by now. I don't know, maybe someone will find it amusing to read?

Might add work is being as chaotic as ever and I'm stressing out like fuck about the anti-bullying project I run. :-P At least I've hired a lecturer now. So I take that as progress. And she seems really really nice. Very professional for her age. (Malin Engelbrektsson for those swedes interested.) Currently I'm mostly panicky about the fact that I'M supposed to go out and talk to the kids in class about MY experiences being a bullied kid growing up. And I want to! I really really do... But how the hell do you even start such a class? *shakes head* I'll figure it out eventually, I'm just stressing out at the moment. :-P

Also, getting back to posting on LJ. Yay? :-P

Right, let's finish this thing! Two for now!


DAY EIGHT: a photo of you taken recently

Here's me when I was working this summer, so I guess it's one of the most resent full figure photos of me. Excuse the crappy selfie and all, but yeah:

And this is also me, when being crazy while hanging with my young LARP-friends:

I hope that was for everyones satisfaction? :-)

DAY NINE: list some of your favorite websites

Livejournal (obviously), Bloglovin (where I keep track of other blogs), Bookcrossing, Tweetdeck (where I use Twitter), Sweden By Night (our LARP-site), Instagram, Plurk, Goodreads, Insanejournal (where I do RP), Tradera (where I shop used and/or new stuff and sell the same, works like Ebay), Dreamwidth (out of necessity), TokioHotelFiction.Com (for my pervy needs)...

All the days!  )

3 Random Facts about you:
1. Was badly bullied as a kid but has since got over it, apart from one thing. I feel paniced everytime I try to do any form of exercise.

2. Grew up way out on the countryside in a classic red swedish house. Very idyllic. But now, I would never ever wanna live like that again. I love my apartment in the city, thank you.

3. Got plenty of tattoos and piercings which the kids at school kinda like. :-) Especially the smaller ones.

Story behind your username:
Long story. I was elected to be a member of the Student Union Club The Sexmasters (no, got nothing to do with sex), and they thought it was funny to give me the nickname KSena. You always get a nickname given to you by the seniour members in the club. Anyway, where did they get the idea for KSena from then? Well, I am a diehard Xena-fan, a Xenaite. And KSena in swedish is pronouced the same way as Xena, so they thought that was fun. And there you go. Then I got myself a livejournal and wanted to use KSena as a username, but it was taken. So I threw in some extra letters making it kseenaa. And there you go!

1. Nickname(s): KSena, obviously. ;-)

2. Age: 37. Born 1977.

3. Location: Borås, Sweden.

4. Occupation: School-librarian.

5. Partner? Yes, [livejournal.com profile] peting73.

6. Kid(s): A daughter who had her second birthday beginning of August called Alexandra.

7. Brothers/Sisters: A brother four years younger than me.

8. Pets: Two black cats, Skuld and Verdandi.

9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
Stressed out at work. SO MUCH TO DO!!! And no energy to do them.
My daughter. Things happening every damn day.
Family, trying to find time to visit them since most of them live about 2 hours away from here.
I did mention my work stressing me out, right?

Damn my life is boring.

10. Parents: Mother - who is even more crazy then me. Father - died at age 47 13 or so years ago.

11. Who are some of your closest friends?: [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbit, no contest. We got to know each other at school when we were both 13 and we're still the best of friends. She knows me better than I know myself sometimes! And then, of course, there's all my young friends at the Vampire-LARP Club that I love and adore.

12. What are some of the things you like most? My computer, my books, movies, LARP, cats, piercings, tattoos... I don't know what else to put.

13. A photo of yourself and anything else you want to say: I'm posting a photo shortly, don't have any available right here. Or you could go to my Instagram HERE. I'm sure there's a photo of me there somewhere and not only of my daughter...

DAY TWO: make a bulleted list of everything that happened in your day

Woke up at around 5am and went to bathroom and started to get dressed and such... at 5:20am Alexandra woke up IN A MOOD! And kept up a temper tantrum for the rest of the morning. I didn't even manage to get breakfast and it was NOT easy to pack up my lunch and such... o.O

Went to the daycare center and dropped off Alexandra at around 6:50am. NOW she's in a great mood, damn kid...

Hurries to the buss that leaves at 7:05am, gets a great text from my little brother that puts a smile on my face for the rest of the morning.

Arrives at the hospital bus-station, goes to a fika-place that is open in the morning and buys a sandwich before walking through the entire hospital grounds to get to the school where I work. Arrives there at 7:40am.

Work, work, work... Moves books around, rearrange the library in the teeny tiny room where in. Says hi to kids that comes in the room. Kick kids out that try to wreck the room... (Really? Second day of school? Already? WTF???) Have a serious talk with colleague of his not so smart decisions when it comes to the move, meaning he'll work in another room. Rearrange the library some more. Check the internets. Rearrange the library. Check the internets. Rinse and repeat for the rest of the day. Having lunch in the middle of the day there somewhere. And finding our phone in a box. PROGRESS!

Leave work at 4:10pm. Thinking I'm late I rush through the hospital grounds to get to the bus-station by the hospital entrance. And discover that apparently I walked faster than I thought and had to wait for the bus for nearly 10mins! Shocking, since I usually walk quite slow... Good though, since I have to walk back and forth there for at least 2 years. :-P

Coming home and helping [livejournal.com profile] peting73 with laundry and then sitting down with Alexandra who is very whiney and cuddly and just want to cuddle in my lap. Not surprised what with her early morning...

Eating dinner and after that me and Alexandra are doing the dishes. For some obscure reason she LOVES doing the dishes... Weird kid.

Cuddle with Alexandra some more getting company Skuld the cat for a bit before it's time for Alexandras bath. However, she don't want no bath! She wants to shower with dad! Which is fine, so we did that instead.

Clean Alexandra, putting her in diaper and pajamas, she's even more whiny. Yep. Tired girl. [livejournal.com profile] peting73 fixes some gruel and me and Alexandra reads a book. Then she eats some gruel and we brush her teeth and then I put her to bed. It doesn't take long. She's REALLY tired.

Once Alexandra has fallen asleep I clean out the litterbox and take all the trash with me downstairs and throw away before I go down to the laundry room and take care of all the laundry, folding it to. Carrying everything up and puts it away where it should be, except Alexandra's clothes since they are in her room. Saving those for tomorrow.

That done, I take a shower, shaving where it's needed... Ehm... After that I put on moisturize and such and then get my pajamas on and fixes some tea... Maybe a snack if we have any? And take a seat in front of the computer for a few hours before I go to bed.


All the days!  )

Haven't done a meme in a while, so I figured it would be time again. :-) And if I've collected any new readers since last? Great way to get to know me. And maybe be fun for my old friends to read to, who knows?

Here goes!

DAY ONE: introduce yourself / list your likes and dislikes

Introduce myself? OK. I'm 37 year old librarian, mother of one and living with [livejournal.com profile] peting73. I've only been employed since March but I've had my national masters degree in Library and Information Science for years. It's tough getting a job as a librarian, especially in the area where I live, so I am very grateful I have one. I do, however, work at a school with a lot of troubled kids and a sickly, somewhat eccentric colleague... And we've just moved the WHOLE library from one premise to another. So my job ain't easy, but on the other hand I'm not bored either.

My daughter Alexandra has just turned 2 years old, and is a cutie. Pretty calm a kid and easy going. She does have her crazy temper tantrums, but they usually pass quickly. She's easy to bring to parties or visits or social things to. She likes people, whether they be kids or adults. Guess she got that from mom. Can be a bit mischievous to. Which I blame dad for. ;-)

[livejournal.com profile] peting73 is my soulmate. I would not know what to do without that man in my life. I am beyond grateful that I meet him.

When I'm not at home with my wonderful family, or visiting mom or MIL... (Who are both slightly crazy, kick ass and wonderful.) Well, then I do roleplaying online, tabletop RP or LARP. Mostly the local vampire-LARP that I've been doing since 2001. It's my greatest hobby and the other people that are members of the LARP are some of my dearest friends. Me and [livejournal.com profile] peting73 are among the oldest ones, but I don't care. Friendship don't care about age, really. Most of my wonderful friends are much younger than me, which goes for online friends as well.

So, likes: My family, extended big and crazy or just us three. My best friend in the whole wide world, [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbit (who is also Alexandra's godmother). Movies, books, vampires, medieval history, legands, myths, cats, wolves, wolverines, computers, rpg's, LARP's, piercings, tattoos... I could go on. :-)

Dislikes: Dishonesty, bullying, war. Could make a longer list, but it would be insanely long and those where the first that jumped up in my mind.

All the days!  )

Alexandra spent the night with [livejournal.com profile] peting73's mom between Saturday and Sunday. During Alexandra's birthday MIL said that it would be so fun to have her over the weekend again, so we decided to do it right away.

Gave me and [livejournal.com profile] peting73 a chance to go to the LARP together as well, wich we haven't done since December when we last did the same plan. It worked out wonderfully, and Alexandra had a grand time with her grandma. It feels so good that it works out so fine with her. I love my MIL and that Alexandra is so secure in herself and with her grandma that we can just drop her off there, is a great feeling.

Anyhow, so LARP.

Holy shit, the insanity. I thought for sure that my character would bite the dust last night. I think she broke a ton of laws. Found out more about where she came from (she's related to werewolfs, so turning her into a vampire might not have been the smartest ever...), about the werewolf she was supposed to marry... almost lost her best friend... and got staked in the heart which immobilize her not killing her, and then she got thrown in a basement for safe-keeping until her clans mates know what to do with her.

Considering her short temper, immense physical power, and the fact she's quite dumb... I'm suprised they didn't kill her on the spot. X-D I spent the whole LARP thinking "I can't get my character in worse trouble, it's not possible!" Two seconds later: "Shit. It just got worse." X-D So I had a lot... A LOT of fun!

Sadly though, it didn't appear as if [livejournal.com profile] peting73 had as much fun. His character is having a vendetta with another character, and currently... it's not going well for his character. Knowing [livejournal.com profile] peting73... The revenge will be sweet... and slow cooking... ;-) I'm sure I'll hear all about it when it happens.

So LARP is great. Work not so much.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow. :-/ Really. It was A PAIN IN THE ASS to pack up the whole library in June. Guess what? Now we have to Unpack it. And we have no time to do it, since we didn't get access to our new premise until a week before school starts. There's no way in hell that we can unpack in time. But those responsible for the move says we have to. WTH? GIVE US MORE MANPOWER THEN, gawd dammit... I'm not sure anyone is aware of this, but even in a small library there's a lot of books. That you're supposed to put up in the shelfs IN ORDER! And since we stressed so much when we packed the books, there's not always order in the boxes. So you have to check everything twice. Which takes time. And if you don't, no one will be able to find any books in the library.

I just want to call in sick or something... Blame that I need to be home with Alexandra. I just DO NOT WANT. *SIGH*

We'll get some extra help tomorrow... hopefully. I'm keeping my fingers crossed at least.

And a few days ago I found out Robin Williams killed himself. Geezes. I've always been a huge fan of his movies. Drama and comedy. An old favorite being Hook. A grand loss. And it hits close to home to. Tashé was poor and had a seriously tough life... I failed being there for her. One would think Robin Williams would have more people around that could be there for him. But I guess not even that helped. Rest in peace both of you. I miss you both already.

Robin Williams Tribute... )
