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.

Religious Views: What does that even mean? Don't like religion at all. Atiest of sorts.
Political Views: What does that even matter?!?! No offense, but why does US people always put so much significance into what you religion you believe in or what politics you go for... *grumble* I consider myself supporting the Socialdemocratic Workers' Party of Sweden the most. There. Happy? *double-grumble*

Favourite Song(s): Too many to mention

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...

This sharing post is long LOOONG overdue! *lol* I've had these links waiting in tags for a long time, and well... Now there's a lot of tabs. ;-)

Enjoy!

Got a link for this blogg, Megan Kerr from my RP-friend, and damn WHAT A WOMAN! BIG, sexy and beautiful! And with a lot of attitude to boot. I LOVE IT! Also, she has this swimsuit special, and I think I just found the swimsuit I want. Dammit for being so expensive though! :-P

Meagan Kerr's Swimsuit Special!

Just two posts under that tag currently, but apparently there's supposed to be three of them eventually. :-)

The swimsuit I want:



Now how sexy is that? And how sexy is that woman?!?! o.O I want! But damn if the prize for that bikini ain't a lot!

Talking about big sexy women... I stumbled upon this community [livejournal.com profile] fatshionista, a size-positive community... and feel COMPLETELY in love! GEEZES! Talk about fierce women! o.O I have asked to join and are still waiting to be approved. Damn. I see a lot of selfies in the future. To bad I have such boring clothes. *lol* Although, I will admit the pants I bought the other day are pretty cool...

Anyway!

Found this as well, and I damn well nearly cried. o.O How amazing is this? Everyone is beautiful It just depends on who is looking and how...

I do follow the book-blog Forever Young Adult, and they do a lot of fun reviews of books written for young adults. There's a lot of great humor in their reviews, and they are very LGBT-positive! :-D Win-win in my book. ;-)

And they posted a review of a book that sounds really interesting.. About a trans-sexual youth. Called Freakboy and written by Kristen Elizabeth Clark. Definitely sounds interesting... Check out the review HERE:

Male? Female? Other? - FreakBoy. Kristen Elizabeth Clark takes on the forgotten T in LGBT.

Randomly, have a seriously cute gif before we continue:



I am not on Tumbler often, but when I do I do run into some gems...

Like this one. I really love Disney movies, Hunchback of Notre Dame one of them. And I LOVE the song Hellfire in said movie, surprisingly sexual considering it's Disney... It's sung by a man... Now what if we genderbend it... :-) It does sound REALLY cool sung by a woman to. There's some fanart there as well with Frollo as a woman. ;-)

Sweet Poofin singing Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame

More music! I am a HUGE fan of the musical artist Fred Johansson... He has one of dark heavy voices that crawl into your soul, I swear... And when such a singer takes on a song like Poor Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas... it can only be magical. :-) This makes me shiver every single time i listen to it. :-D

Fred Johansson singing Poor Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas

I have had the pleasure of hearing him live as Javert in Les Miserables more than a year ago. I still remember it. :-)

Another thing I found on Tumblr was this about how sometimes history proves to be really damn kickass! :-D

A fake eye made out of gold? That was USED? Pre-history time officially kicks ass...

I saw created a prompt around that...

To get you even more into the Christmas-spirit, maybe this might help? The company WestJet sure gave their costumers one HELL of a Christmas surprise! :-D All cred to that company, seriously! The look on those travelers who got their Christmas-surprises are absolutely priceless! SO AWESOME!

WestJet Christmas Surprise Will Make You Believe in Santa

Then there's this. I have no idea where the clips are from or if it was just made for that song, but gawd damn, talk about feel good feeling all over! :-D

Husbands - Unconditionally )

Even Joss Whedon makes an apparence! That made me lol, to be honest! Kinda awesome! :-D

Something else that made me lol was this:

Americans Try To Place European Countries On A Map

Not saying I can place all the states in the US on the map, but I do know where the country is and what countries that boarders the US. :-)

Then there's the ever awesome James Marsters (the vampire Spike from the tv-show Buffy, for those that don't know) talking about what makes vampires cool... and his favorite vampire-actors.

James Marsters on cool vampires )

Funny how iPhones and the company Apple is raised to the skies as the greatest thing ever... This... was eyeopening:

Dirty secrets Apple doesn't want you to know...

Some I knew, but... not all. :-P

Then I found out about the To This Day Project... and was amazed. Look at this video. The art, so amazing... so touching. And it's all true. Everything said in this...

To this day... )

Now for something more uplifting... I found this vid-series on YouTube, that had the goth in me cheer! :-D A series of short movies about... the adult Wednesday Addams... *lol* I'll just let you think about that one a little, and then point you the view to all the episodes. They all a theme, like... job-interview, apartment hunt, a date... *lol* Amazing! I highly recommend checking them out!

Adult Wednesday Addams by Melissa Hunter

I thought they were fun anyway... :-)

More fun, me and [livejournal.com profile] peting73 did a Quiz/meme/test today. :-) It was a lot of fun, and the combo we ended up as made me lol. X-D

Which Game of Thrones character are you?

[livejournal.com profile] peting73 ended up:

Robb Stark:

You’re the King of the North! Loyal, handsome, and brave. You also hate weddings.


Me? Well...

Khal Drogo:

Though you want people to be scared of you, you’re a giant softie at heart. You’re also dead.


How awesome ain't that? Damn Martin for killing off Drogo though...

Let's stay in the fantasy-genre for just a sec and kill some minds with a mindfuck. I know there are fans of them dwarfs out there...

Dwarfs fucking with your mind under here... )

Mind officially fucked...

Talk about fucking... To those that are of age or just sexually active... We've all been there. X-D I swear!

The 6 Best AND WORST Ways to Have Sex

So very very true...

And this LARP/RP-blogg on Tumblr made me grin. How cute aren't these two cosplayers cosplaying Dean and Castiel of Supernatural? I'd say they do a pretty good job to!

This is the story of Dean and Cas... and sometimes Sam

To those thinking LJ is the spawn of Satan destroying fandoms and stopping LGBT stories and such here on LJ? I'd suggest you read this:

Staff setting the record straight about LGBT, Russia etc...

Randomly vikings vs Pirates... Because vikings rule! :-D

Vikings vs Pirates )

Talking of pirates.. HOW could I, an old PotC-fangirl... miss this? Black Sails a series about pirates that the channel Starz will start airing in January... I can not WAIT to get my hands on this! PIRATES! YES! WOHOO!

Black Sails trailer... )

Now THAT... looks really promising. :-D

And if you managed to get through all that? All the props to you. :-)

Now I am going to bed and to stress about the fact it's almost Christmas... ARGH!

... I created a LiveJournal.

Had I only known how much it would change my life, ups and downs, I would have thought twice about it.

I even named my first entry First Entry... It's HERE if you wanna see. I was writing much shorter entries back then. Short and quick. And I remember I shared a TON of memes and tests.

What happened to all that I wonder? It's not 'cool' to do anymore?

I wanted to do something special for my tenth year anniversary. Like... I don't know. Offer to write a ton of drabbles or something. Or... Maybe even do a giveaway or something...

But I really don't feel like it.

Lately I've tried to figure out why I don't want to post that much anymore. And the other day, I think I figured it out.

It's not LJ's fault. They've done nothing wrong in my book, just tried to develop the site to the best of their ability, and keep it alive and thriving.

But it's the negativity that has spread though the sites users like a plague. Because as soon as I say that I like LJ, I get negativity. As soon as LJ is doing anything, I see negativity. It seems like no matter what, there's negativity. No one even wants to give any changes a chance. And that makes me sad. Bottomless sad. :-/

LJ will continue to be my home though.

Ten years. I created my LJ in December 2003. Just months before, in September 2003 I meet [livejournal.com profile] peting73. I've had this LJ for as long as our relationship has lasted.

I've written about my struggles with the Sexmaster's society, the Student Union and it's pub, and writing my national masters thesis at the University here. About my friends and family. About the loss of my father, even if it happened before I got this LJ. About my struggles getting a job. About the job's I've had and lost. About the vampire-LARP and how I've been doing there. About my mixed feeling's about moving in with [livejournal.com profile] peting73, and later the fact that all went well. About losing my old friends that I grew up with. About becoming an aunt, and the joys with that. About my disease, Endometriosis, and the struggles with that. When we got engaged, right out of the blue. And my journey to get pregnant, even if I kept it very vague since we wanted to keep it a secret... And when we told, and I've never gotten that many comments on one single post... Birth of Alexandra, and my struggles being a new mom bottle feeding my baby girl...

Just... life. I've shared my life here. Every single detail. I've always been an open book, even in real life. Honest like few others. It's a warning I always give. Disgustingly honest person here. It goes both online and in real life that warning. My RL friends enjoy it, likes it, seem to want it... And I hope that those who have stuck around here on LJ do to.

I'll be here. Seems like nothing can drag my away from this place. I hope someone might take a moment to give me a comment here... Because I miss the discussions I've had in comments like I don't even know what. Used to get 5-15 comments a post... Now I'll be happy if I get two.

Things change. Life moves on.

But one thing's for sure. I'll be here. And continue to be here until the site finally closes down, if that ever happens...

Oh! And I changed my layout to what I can remember being the closest to what I used when I started using this site... Not exactly, but close enough.

This entry is crossposted between LJ and DW. Comment where you are comfortable.
I rewatched Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides the other day. Well, I've rewatched all four of them since I ended up in a roleplaying Will Turner, cursed Captain of the Flying Dutchman in a RPG (slashed with Dean Winchester from Supernatural. Yep. It works.). And I LOVE and adore the first three movies! Well, my favorites being Dead Man's Chest and At Worlds End, what with the story-arc of Will Turner and the AWESOMENESS that is The Flying Dutchman and crew! (Yes, I fangirl a ship. Shut up.)

But the last movie, On Stranger Tides? It just don't... have the the same feeling. The same heart. Everyone just says that it's just because there's no Will Turner in it that I don't like it. And yeah, that's partly the reason, but not all.

I mean, I don't mind to much the fact there's no Will Turner in it.

No. What I do mind, however...

Is that Will Turner's and Elisabeth Swan's story arcs, so tightly woven together with Jack Sparrow's story arc... is totally ignored. When watching the forth movie, it's like you can just forget everything that happened in the first three, like they didn't matter. And THAT... is what bothers me the most. And I doubt that'll improve if/when the fifth movie arrives...

And now I've ranted about that. Just had to get that off my chest.

Talking about fandoms though, I have started working with a brilliant layout-maker to make a layout for [livejournal.com profile] tokiohotelslash. It'll cost me a bit from my own pocket, but hey... I think it's worth it. That place needs some loving. :-) And I can't wait to see what she'll come up with, since she does both coding and graphics. Gonna be fun! :-)

That's that about fandoms.

Now to the reason for my absence, if anyone even cares...

I've felt a bit low, if you will. Because I've had some serious troubles with the unemployment fund. I mean, I do qualify for support so should get money from them. BUT!!! And this is what had me so bothered...

Because I worked in June 2012. Like, mayorly pregnant and close to when Alexandra was born. I only worked in the big City Library for three hours that day. The only day that month. And then, a month and a week or so later, Alexandra was born. And my life as a new mom and getting used to that started.

Thing is. I never reported in those hours. I never got paid for them, since the finance department / payroll never ever got my paperwork. That also meant that I couldn't get a certificate of employment...

This, as it showed, got me in some serious troubles with the unemployment fund. :-/

Because they NEEDED that certificate of employment or I wouldn't get ANY money from them. They had ALL the paperwork they needed to, and had doublechecked with all the finance departments / payrolls of every job I've had these last years, since that is what they do. And when doing that, they noticed one certificate of employment was missing.

Now.

That meant I had to hand in my report on them hours to the finance department / payroll... more than one year late. Since I did the job in June 2012. And I had to have my then boss at the City Library sign it. She had no problems doing that. There were records of me working said hours at the library. So she did.

Then I called the finance department / payroll again telling them paperwork is on the way! At which point they told me it wasn't certain they COULD get me in their records since it was so long ago, and it's a new year and all that... But that they would try and I just had to wait since they went through all the paperwork for those hired by the hour in the mid/end of the month.

Which left me in limbo, pretty much, and living of [livejournal.com profile] peting73. He don't mind, but all this trouble left me feeling very down, I have to say.

And then there was this trouble with LJ and ALL the drama that came with it since there are too many people in too many fandoms that don't think but just spread rumors and... Yeah. That to pulled me down. (Here's some info on that issue, btw. From staff. In the USA, if that makes you feel better: Info from [livejournal.com profile] markf HERE.)

So I pretty much stopped reading on LJ. Stopped posting. Stopped reading fanfic. Stopped everything. Except chatting with my friends. Roleplaying with them. And helping them with THEIR fic. Because I just couldn't deal with all the rest.

LJ, fandom, fanfics... roleplaying. It's supposed to be fun, and it wasn't. I am now slowly, ever so slowly, getting back to it. It still feels fun. And I hope it'll continue to be that.

Oh. My. Goodness... o.O

I am actually caught up on my f-list. Caught up, and I cleared it out to! From following 103 people, I am now following 85. Sure, a lot were dead journals, but still... STILL! It is now manageable, and I think I'll be able to keep up much easier now. :-)

If you've been cut and find it unfair for whatever reason, do let me know!

Also, if you wanna continue to follow me regardless, why go ahead! :-D I don't mind. It is, as always, a free for all here. My LJ is open for anyone to read. :-)

I did the same on Twitter, since said f-list on there was getting to long to. But now all is done, and I might actually be able to keep up. :-D
