Avengers and Loki...

I don't get it. I really and honestly do not get it...

Maybe it is because I am Swedish and a history nerd. Not to mention a lover of all things Nordic mythology. I've read those stories since I was a kid, studied them for my own amusement. Maybe that is why?

I did enjoy Thor, although I laughed my big ass off at what they'd done with all them myths (Siv? A warrior-princess? Come on... X-D Not to mention Thor's friends there, geezes...) It was fun though, and what saved the whole cracky thing was Chris Hemsworth and the fact the movie didn't take itself seriously at all.

Then Avengers and in particular Loki took over Tumblr. Having me go: Huh? What? Why? And made me curious on said movie. So,

peting73 bought it.

We watched it yesterday, and it was fun! A really really fun action-movie, with great special effects and a great GREAT cast! Quite obvious it was a Whedon movie, to be honest... And personally I feel head over heels for Banner/Hulk. He owned that movie, seriously... ("I stay angry all the time..." And I'd try and knock out Thor to, honestly! X-D)

And then there was Loki...

Again, I really REALLY don't get it! Sure, Hiddlstone looks sorta good. Not the classical handsome man, but still he got something. He is a great actor to. No question about it.

But I don't get the worship I see on Tumblr. I don't. *shrug*

Maybe it is with this like with so many other fandoms these days: I am not meant to get it. :-P

*shrugs* *goes to play World of Warcraft*

Fussy baby and TV-shows everywhere!

Dude. You do geek out on TV-shows and movies when you have a baby who don't wanna move from moms lap... o.O And you have feeding times with regularity, like every third hour. I spend SOOOOO much time in front of the TV, it ain't even funny...

I watched it when I was a kid, the original series, with my family. Was like a ritual almost back then, everyone gathered around the TV. And now I watch it again, the new series. And it sucked me in just like when I was a kid and didn't even understand all of it. I am talking about Dallas. It is SUCH a soap still, but dammit... I can not help myself! It is so much fun to watch! And the fact that old characters from the original series turn up, makes it all the better! Especially J.R Ewing and Bobby Ewing... To see them again, so recognizable as their characters, are a PURE joy!

That series is just perfect to watch while feeding Alexandra during the evening. :-)

And then, during morning feeding time, they run RuPauls Dragrace... One more of those, I can NOT help myself, what the hell is wrong with me things I just have to watch! And they run it every day to, so I wonder what they'll do when they run out of episodes, since they are up to season 4 now! It is SUCH a silly thing to watch, really... but also so much fun! And perfect to wake up to. X-D

I also try to catch The Dog Whisperer with Ceasar Milan since they run both old and new episodes here on Swedish television. I am no dog-person since I've grown up with cats and always had cats around me, but damm if it ain't impressive to see him work with them dogs... and mostly with their owners! So, so interesting... and impressive!

Another TV-show I always try to catch is the swedish Lyxfällan... I learn SO MUCH from that show how to take care of my economy and what not to do and what to do if things turn tough... Brilliant show that one!

And when nothing fun is on (Simpsons and Family Guy also work in a pinch), I watch movies from our VAST collection... There are so many of our movies that I haven't watched, old and new, so I figured hell... why not? When I am stuck to the couch anyway with a fussy Alexandra that just refuses to lay on the floor kicking around and looking at the baby-gym or sleep or just sit in the baby-carrier... She has those days, trust me. And then she wants me. As a bed or a pacifier. :-)

So to say I watch A LOT of TV lately, would be an understatement. I do have my smartphone with me so sometimes I poke around on Twitter, Plurk, Tumblr or Instagram using aps on that one. Thank gawd for that or I would have gone slightly insane! Thing is, as soon as Alexandra ends up on my lap, she calms down. Not so much in

peting73s lap. He is only good enough now and then apparently. But I do use the time dad works as a bed and teddybear to have some time for myself. :-) So, if you wanna know what the heck I am doing? Your safest bet is to check those places. :-)

My personal opinion of them two bands: One Direction and Big Time Rush.

I am just gonna get this out and get it out here. I apparently have saddened a friend, and even though I am blunt and everyone knows it... it makes me a bit sad everytime it happens.

So rant. Here. Hang on to your hats. This might get ugly. But it is MY opinion. And I am entitled to have one to, right?

I feel flooded. And damn lonely. :-/ Why? Because this last month, two last months? Something like that... My flist, my tweet-list, my plurk-list, my tumbler-dash... it is OVER-RUN with One Direction and Big Time Rush. It's like a damn plague. Everywhere. Just... everywhere... these boys, that to me... is damn annoying.

Now, I am sure they are nice and friendly to everyone and supportive to great causes and all that.

But me? I REALLY dislike their music. I sure as hell don't see anything cute or pretty or sexy with any of them. I've checked them out, oh yes. I have no choice, now do I? Since I get flooded from left and right. I've even done Google-searches to try and find out what the hell it IS with these boys... Still. No. I've listened to their music. I've looked at photo-shoots and gifs. I've checked out music-vids and interviews.

Still. No. HELLS to the noes!

And apparently... I am alone in feeling like this. And it's like you are SUPPOSED to fall for them as soon as you see them.

Now... this plague and fan-movement reminds me of something else... Bare with me. I am kinda old... well, at least not young.

New Kids on the Block? Anyone remember them? Yes? No? This fanmovement going on right now reminds me A LOT of the fans of NKOTB back then. If you didn't like NKOTB back then, you were strange and usually got bullied for it. (School-years, bullying happened for much.)

And then there were all the bands that followed in NKOTB's wake. Anyone remember them today? Take That? Backstreet Boys? East 17? Five? Boyzone? Westlife? 'N Sync? Bros? Wet Wet Wet? No Mercy?

They all still make music. But they are far FAR from their old glory. Still, the insane flame that runs around, the plague around One Direction and Big Time Rush reminds me a lot of these bands. Even their music reminds me a lot of some of the above mentioned bands. And not in a good way. It's like someone took NKOTB, dusted them off, put on a new suit and presented them again. *shakes head*

Aaaaaand I'll probably lose friends over this... :-P And if you wanna filter your posts, be my guest. Do so. But I hope I can still read about YOU. Because if I friended YOU it is YOU I am interested in and wanna read about.

Enjoy your new fandom, people. Just don't force me into it.

Things that really REALLY annoy me!

You know... I really really like Twitter and Plurk and Tumblr. They are a lot of fun and an easy way to keep in contact with people and look at pretty pictures. And that is why I joined them. :-)

BUT! And here is the part I am annoyed with. There are a lot of those retweet/replurk/repost this that or this... or you are a bad person. Because there are people starving! Getting killed! Animals are abused! WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!!!

Yeah. I know. I FUCKING KNOW, ALRIGHT! I see it on the news and on the headlines. News flash. It is what the world looks like today. Geezes... And stop guilt-tripping people to retweet/replurk/repost whatever it is you want to save right THIS MINUTE!!! It just pisses me off. I am sorry, but it does. *growl* Does that mean I don't give a fuck because I don't retweet/replurk/repost your tweet/plurk/post? NO! It doesn't. Try getting that into your head, general you.

And for GAWDS sake! If you don't like a service, stop complaining. And if the only thing you can say about a fandom is negative, then why are you in said fandom? No really? And now people will feel I am aiming at them, and I am not. I have seen this in ALL the fandoms I am in. RoS, Xena, Buffy, Pirates, Tokio Hotel. I mean, WHY? Seriously? *shakes head* It makes me wonder....

You know why I am involving myself in a fandom? Whatever fandom it is? To relax. To look at pretty pictures. To read fanfic. To get to know people who like the same things I like. You know why I am on Twitter/Plurk/Tumblr? To relax. To look at pretty pictures. To connect to even more people with the same interests as me.

I did NOT join them for negativity and to see the same thing I see on the news every single day.

*sigh*

Sorry for the rant, but I just had to get that off my chest. It has annoyed me for quite some time now....

At being a support-system... and Tumblr.

Jesus christ in a bucket.... *collapses*

I love you all, you know that right? If I have clicked with you, have conversations with you, comment on your posts... then you have sneaked your way into my heart. Just saying.

And right now? So, so many are broken... suffer... are pissed... whatever...

And me? I have a heart to huge for my own good. I really do. I just... hurt. Because I can't help you.

I am sitting here far away from you in Sweden. In my very nice apartment with my LOVELY hubby

peting73 who loves me for the quirky me that is me. My career has just started to take off after all these years... I have a nice Masters Thesis diploma laying here somewhere. I have two cats to cuddle with when I need it. I have the best friend in the world, my sister in all but blood

spicehobbit, not to mention my crazy brother and my crazy mom who really puts the Merry Widow to shame...

Still I hurt. For you. Because I just can't help you. Gawd, I wish I could. I have read up on my f-list today, and man... at times I have had tears in my eyes... I just want to reach out through the computer screen and pull you in. Give you a hug... and just the full KSena-threatment (ask

spicehobbit about that sometime...)

I just want to help. And I can't. And just....

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH *growl*
*frustrated*

*sigh*

Yeah so...

Had to get that out. Just know I care. A whole fucking lot.

Right. And I made a Tumblr. To look at pretty pictures and vids, and repost them to. You can find it here if you want to see it: The confused mind of KSena. Gonna go add it to my side-bar now....
