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!  )

DAY FOUR: a photo of you taken over ten years ago

Oh, heaven help me... I had to dig deep in the confines of my computer to find this. I'm amazed I have such an old photo on a file even. This is probably right after I was in the USA. I was in the US from 1996 to 1997. So after that. I can pinpoint it since the bracelet tattoo looks very very new, and I had that made shortly after I'd been in the USA. So at least more than ten years, I'd say. At a friends apartment back then. A friend I don't hang out with any longer. :-P And no, I didn't use makeup back then. :-P


(If you for some obscure reason want to click this for bigger, you can...)

Also, if you end up becoming a mom, you're hair thins out. Nice knowing that, eh?

DAY FIVE: a letter to your crush

Dear crushes I had in school. I wonder sometimes if you even knew I existed? Apart from someone to push around and bully? Did you even notice that I never really minded that you did? That any attention from you was good? I wonder sometimes what happened to you. You guys were the stars of the school. Most girls had crushes on you at times. Some of you were the bad boys, and I know one of you have ended up in jail once. For raping a disabled girl, no less. Horrible a crime, and I can't help but wonder how you ended up there? You were one of the few that actually talked to me. That acted like a decent human being when we were in the school-bus together every morning and afternoon. As soon as your friends saw you though... Mask on, let's be a bad boy. And you? The other you that acted like a decent human being. You were the schools photo-model. I've seen you since. Only difference is a pair of glasses. You are still a gorgeous man, no longer a boy. I wonder how come you managed to resist the peer pressure and not bully me in school? Well, you didn't stand up for me either, but you never did anything to me. I doubt any of you noticed my crush... my hearts in my notebooks... How I took the school yearbook, found your photo and took a paper cutting out a hole for your face, so I could put it above the photo and just look at you? I wonder sometimes...

I am grateful though. Without all of you I wouldn't have found my true crush. Thank you, Peter. I didn't crush on you right away. No. You were a friend. A senior member of the Sexmasters* society. You were bold, loud and had the quirkiest humor I've ever heard. And... You didn't give a fuck what others thought. I loved that. Still do. So we became friends. You helped me A LOT when I ended up a full member of the Sexmasters society. I was swamped with work both for the society and for the university. And you and your friend helped me a lot. Apparently your friend figured out your crush on me before you did yourself... I am grateful for that to. A kiss against a wall... That was all it took. I've never crushed so hard or so fast on another person before! Like a lightning bolt! Gladly it had a happy ending and you ended up the love of my life. Thank you for staying with me. For surviving my quirks. And for being you.

YES!

I have finally gotten of my ass and updates now Alexandras LJ: Mini_Viking! I'll be updating near to every day unitil I am caught up!

So here's how far I've gotten this far:

Last post I did was in November: Sooo many photos! Of me! and Alexandra writing her own post. Part 1..

These are the posts I've done now in August so far:

I am an alive lil mini-viking! More photos from November!, December and Christmas!, Onwards! January and baptism and food!, February: tattooed mom & dad and cat-friends and food everywhere!, Time for what I did in March! and April!

Tomorrow I'll make an May-post. We still got plenty more photos to share! ;-) So go there and give a comment or two, eh? Feel free to friend that LJ as well!

ANYWAY!

So what I've been up to apart from updating pretty photos of my daughter? Not that much. Well, that is partly a lie.

This Tuesday me and Alexandra had A Bad Day. X-D

Usually during the nights I stay up to around 1:30-2am. Which works better than you'd think since Alexandra sleeps until 8-9am. Which gives me 6-7 hours of sleep which is perfect for me. :-)

BUT! This Tuesday she first woke up at 4am. o.O I gave her some gruel, and she feel asleep again. Just to wake up at 5:30am. And refused to fall back asleep again. Play time, mom! URGH! Well, you got a kid, no choice, eh? So up we went and she played on the floor in the living room while I lay in the couch and talked to her and poked her belly as soon as she walked past. Which apparently was hilarious. :-) So all good so far.

At around 8am she started to whine and get a bit tired. So I tried giving her some porridge, which she didn't want. Instead, more gruel. Alexandra apparently really really loves gruel. After that, she was REALLY sleepy, so I let her sleep and then put her to bed for nap-time, hoping it would be a long one so I could nap to.

So I went to my own bed. I have our baby-monitor right next to it so I can hear if Alexandra wakes up. And then I feel asleep to.

At 11:20am we both woke up. After about 4 hours of sleeping. X-D Talk about nap!

But the day wasn't over. Oh, no, no...

I also had an appointment at 1pm with the nurse specialized in Asthma. So off we went! Might note that when me and the nurse decided on the time, we discused both 10am and 1am as possibilities.

Once there I am told I was supposed to be there at 10am. WTH!?! And the interesting thing is that this has happened once before. But what with the day I'd had up until then, I just threw up my hands in the air, and said OF COURSE this would happen to!

Right, so I got a new appointment (and I'll double-check it this time a few days before, mark me...). And then me and Alexandra went downtown to the nice park there, because dammit... I wanted to do something nice after that. She liked it though, got to crawl around in the grass, look at dogs there for a walk, trying to catch birds, socilize with other kids in the park... It was quite wonderful after the bad start of the day. :-)

Then we went to a café. I had food with me for Alexandra, so I feed her. And me? I had a piece of cheese-cake and mango tea. I think I deserved it. :-)

So that was our crazy day!

I've also hung out with Spicehobbit this weekend (before the terrible Tuesday) while Peting was at the LARP this Saturday. It was his turn, and he had a new character and the GM's had done some SERIOUS planning and it was quite special and awesome a LARP apparently. :-) So I am glad he got to go. Me and Alexandra and Spicehobbit played around on the floor and watched Disney Junior until it was bedtime for Alexandra.

After that we watched Supernatural! YES! At first we got the borrow the first 4 seasons from one of Spicehobbits workmates. But said (really nice) woman got sacked. Urgh. :-/ So no more fangirling at work for Spicehobbit and no more borrowing Supernatural for us. Instead I got season 5 + 6 from Spicehobbit as a birthday gift! :-D

So now we are watching season 5! We always watch the first two two and the last two episodes together, then we let the DVD-box move between us, so to speak. I am now up to episode 11. And I keep saying, nah... The angst can't get much worse now. And then it does. *LOL* It IS a good show! Much, much better then I had thought. I keep getting pleasantly surprised, which is nice. :-) I doubt I'll start reading fanfic or anything... :-P I just don't feel it. But I do very much enjoy the show, that I will admit. :-)

Anyway, so we had a lovely time that Saturday!

Saturday coming up though, it's my turn to go to the LARP and I am SOOOO looking forward to it! I haven't been to the LARP in a long time. We both missed plenty during the summer, what with birthday parties, visits and vacations. But now summer is over, so business as usual again.

One of my dear young LARP-friends who I play very closely with came over and visited yesterday (Thursday) so we could plot and discuss LARP and such. It was AWESOME! Also, she loves kids so she was crawling on the floor playing with Alexandra as well. :-D Was a wonderful day! And now we have made plans for our characters and I am seriously itching for Saturday to come around! :-D

But before that I have boring RL stuff to deal with. Like plan for Alexandras introduction to daycare. Deal with paperwork of DOOM from the employment office and the unemployment fund. And bills. Fun times.

URGH...

Over and out for now!

First, thank you for all the nice words the other day. :-) Always happy to hear I am a good sister! I do try to be. My brother is one hell of a brother to. We are just very very different from each other. And now when it is his turn to go through some tough times, I do try to be there for him. I really am. He is a wonderful man, my brother, so... :-)

Anyway.

Wanted to write about the LARP I was at yesterday. We still do the same thing. The LARP is every other week. And me and [livejournal.com profile] peting73 go to every other LARP each. Which means I get to LARP once a month. :-) Works brilliantly!

And I was lucky this time. Because it was my turn to LARP last night. And it was a special edition LARP, sorta. Because we, the LARP-club/society got invited to LARP at the art-museum here in town. With people that had never LARPed before. :-D

Just... wow... What an experience that was! Even though it failed somewhat at start, since communication from the GM's failed epically. They hadn't given us the information that they should. Ugh... But once the LARP started, I had SO MUCH FUN!

My character had been tortured as a punishment earlier, so she sported half a Glasgow smile... I got help from a friend with doing the makeup for it, but I gotta say... it turned out WAY better then I thought! She is really good at doing makeup like this... She only used a little bit of liquid silicone, a red lip-pen and some eyeshadow to create this:

Frida Wagner sporting half a Glasgow smile... )

I'll have to keep up that makeup now, even though it'll be less red the next time, since it'll be more healed then. It'll stay though. My character COULD heal it away, but since her mistress allowed it to happen and gave her blessing, my character will keep the scar to remind her... unless she is forced to heal it. Could happen. We'll see, I guess. :-)

Anyway, she managed to piss off the most powerful vampire in the city by calling him a 'Fucking pig!' (and it wasn't even planned!), annoy her mistress and her mistress's lovers, possibly getting another lover (which would be the third one!), nearly flying into a violent rage (twice!), and possibly getting new friends...

It was a very special event, I gotta say. To be able to play your character in such a setting. The art museum was open after hours especially for this. The Curator was there. A lovely women who had never in her life LARPed before either, but joined in as well! And she was REALLY good! When I asked her after wards if she'd had fun, she said she really did. And she hoped this could happen again!

Dude. I really hope so. LARPing is so so much more then people think.

I was eating and hanging out with our youngest members in our break (we always have a break at around midnight). Those three girls are only 16, struggling with school and bullies and all that. And we talked about LARPing and what it has given us, apart from great friends of various ages. And the girls pointed out that they have grown, A LOT! They got a lot of self-esteem from this. They dare to put their foot down when the bullies come running, telling them to fuck off pretty much. They dare to stand up in front of the class and hold a presentation without blushing. They dare to hold a discussion in front of the class. To show what they can do. That they are good at what they do. That they are worthy some attention as well.

You can't be shy when playing a 200 year old vampire. So you fake it. And then, all of a sudden, you don't have fake it anymore. :-) And all the friends they've gotten, so many different people, have helped to. :-)

I was very happy to hear that. I've seen it before. I've done this since 2001. There has been many, many people younger then me that has joined our LARP club/society since then. And they've all grown as people beyond belief.

LARPing is awesome. And that is that. :-)

In conclusion, my Saturday evening/night:
  • Meet up at 4pm in the afternoon, fixed up our usual place where we always LARP.

  • Left at 5pm to the museum.

  • Started LARPing at 6:30pm.

  • LARPed until 11pm.

  • Break-time! Fixed food and went back to our usual place.

  • Started LARPing again at 00:30am.

  • Kept it up until 4am.

  • Helped cleaning up and such after wards, drove my young 16 year old friends home.

  • Got home, got rid of makeup and clothes without waking up [livejournal.com profile] peting73 or Alexandra.

  • Checked time. 5am.

  • Collapsed in bed.

;-)

I AM ALIVE!

Oh geezes what a week... o.O

And when I say I am alive, I say barely... Or at least that's how it feels like. Christ on a bike... Both me and [livejournal.com profile] peting73 has been sick. Like, REALLY sick... I've been feeling ill, wanting to puke, weak body, fever... you name it... for an entire week.

And, of course, [livejournal.com profile] peting73 got it to. Me? Sleep? HA HA HA HA HA HA! No. I got TWO whole sleep in mornings this week while we've been sick. TWO! Count them. TWO!!!

Of course, taking care of Alexandra has been a priority, but you know... I thought we were two about that. Every morning when she has woken up (around 7am or before), I've gotten from [livejournal.com profile] peting73s corner of the bed... "I'd rather not..." EVERY TIME! (Well, except those two mornings.) Dude, I'll strangle anyone using those words now, I swear... We had a fight about it at 5am in the morning when Alexandra had an early morning one day. All he wants to do when not feeling any good is lay flat on his back... "hen we got better, we talked it out. Alexandra is not just my responsibility. She is his daughter to. If we're both sick, we gotta take turns. One more round like this, and I don't know what I'll do. I swear...

On a happier note, on the 19th of January we baptised Alexandra! :-)

Alexandra Yvonne Linnea... :-D Beautiful names, right? My mom has Linnea as a middlename, and [livejournal.com profile] peting73s mom has Yvonne as a middlename and well... Since they both ROCK as moms AND as grandmoms and both will mean TONS to Alexandra since both her grandfathers are out of the picture... it felt like a good idea. :-) They were both quite touched by it to. :-)

Here's a photo of me, [livejournal.com profile] peting73, Alexandra and [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbit at the church. And yes, that is the ancient baptisimal gown that Alexndra has on. :-)


(Click for bigger.)

That lace/tulle is over 100 years old... Scary to think about. But it held together! And Alexandra was really good during the whole thing!

Here's a better photo of that dress. :-) Alexandra in the arms of my best friend and now officially Alexandras godmother [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbit.


(Click for bigger.)

She'll grow past [livejournal.com profile] spicehobbit in no time though! *grins* Both me and [livejournal.com profile] peting73 are very tall, while she is very short... So chances are Alexandra will be very tall to... :-) Time will tell, I suppose. :-D

Now it's time for bed here though. Maybe I'll get better at updating here now, who knows?
