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.

To refurnish a library or not to refurnish a library....

It was somewhat chaotic in the library after my substitute had tried to take care of it. Especially in the corner with the corner settee. But I have now moved it, and the hooligans with their hangarounds that had decided that corner where it started out standing was theirs... Well, they have to think again. There's no furntiture in any corner now. Because if you're in a corner, you are out of the eyes of all the adults... Not a good thing in a library.

Now though the corner settee and another couch is standing in the middle of the lbirary. I have another couch as well, but I've had to put that one away for now. Fingers crossed I get it back out at somepoint in the future.

Because now the hooligans and their hangarounds are not that much in the library as they were before. Apparently it's not as 'fun' when your teachers and other adults see you and drag you to class. *cough* ;-)

It's still a bit loud and sometimes chaotic still, but it's a lot less now. So awesome!

All this chaos and the refurnishing and stll a bit of chaos... It's tiring, so when I get home I got no energy what so ever. :-P Which is a shame.

It doesn't help that we got a new bus-company in this town and they fucking fail. I'm so pissed off.

I used to be able to take another bus to work, that went another shorter way to the school I work and passed the hospital after that. Didn't go downtown to the city centre and the main bus station, but only went that shorter route. And that bus was only during the morning and during the afternoon, that is when people went to work and when people wanted to go home.

It was PERFECT! And it only took me 8 mins to go to and from work.

Now though? The new bus company decided that ALL buses has go through the main bus station down town... which means I'll have to change bus, go a longer way and it instead takes me 20-30 mins to go to work, depending on traffic...

I'm so pissed off about this, you have no idea. This means that I am late nearly every day, which also means I have to stay longer at work which in turn means less time with Alexandra and Peting...

I've called to complain to the bus company and been told I'm not the only one to do so but that they can't do anything. (Bullshit.) And now I'm working on a letter to the newspaper hoping it'll be printed IN the newspaper... Fingers crossed. Because it all just sucks. :-/

Well, talk about an LJ-kerfuffle this time. I don't even know what to make off it... I see friends, long time friends disappearing.

It hurts a bit, I won't lie. Although, I do understand why. The TOS from LJ is a bit... weird and creepy, for sure. And not exactly kind to any LGBT people what with the view Russia has of the same. :-/ So I get it. I do. The servers AND the company has been in Russia for YEARS, it's just with these TOS it's become more apparent, I suppose.

I'll stay though, but expand. I'll be active on both Dreamwidth AND Livejournal. To me being active on both places, that are so alike, is no different to me than being active on both Twitter and Plurk. Those two are basically the same to. *shrug*

Me biggest concern with all this was how users would handle each other...

I've been on LJ since 2003. The crazy that has been going on on Livejournal during those years could fill a damn book. Not to mention the way the users and employees has acted.

So I was worried those that decided to stay would be getting shit from those that left Livejournal. And vice versa, of course. Those that left would be getting shit from those that stayed.

To my relief though, I've not seen a HUGE amount of that. Of course, it's been hinted at, but only a little. So I was expecting worse there. Sometimes I'm glad to be wrong.

Long time friends can follow me on either Livejournal OR Dreamwidth. I'll continue to crosspost. You're free to comment wherever you wish.

Just be kind and respectful to everyones choices.

I should have posted this Monday, but hey... To say I've been busy would be an understatement. Busy online.

Because about two weeks ago, I got an email. That asked me if I wanted to be a Curator of Sweden and tweet for Sweden on Swedens official twitter @Sweden!!! Because someone had nominated me finding me so interesting. Wait, WHAT? o.O

Long story short, I said yes. I mean, I used to be a voice for The Swedish Number and loved it. So I figured, why not?

And it's been overwhelming, funny and cool! I was warned there's A LOT of trolls following that account and some can be really horrible and attacking you personally.

But so far I haven't had that experience at all. Yeah, sure. A few horrible comments have been sent my way, but it's not so bad. I just... ignore it and move on to the next question. It's not been anything that has stuck in any way.

Anyway, it's been a lot of fun! And I hope it will continue to be a lot of fun for the rest of the week. I'll be on that account until Sunday night, so... Come see me there? :-D

And yeah, I found out who had nominated me to. My Tokio Hotel fan friend also swedish, @LitenSpindel. :-D Such a sweetheart!

Christmas is a busy time, ain't it? :-) It sure took some time to get all them Christmas cards/packages/what have you sent off today. Much longer then I thought. But there I go for sending packages all over the world. Sucks with all the paperwork coming with it though. :-P I hope they'll be well received when they arrive. :-)

I forgot to send two off, so they'll be even later. Oh well. :-) That'll be fixed tomorrow. I hope anyway. Peting gets off work early, so maybe he can watch Alexandra while I fix that... It goes much quicker if I do errands without her after all... ;-) It is a bit of a project to get out of the house with a baby. :-)

She's been somewhat fussy during the evenings lately, and started a bad habit at waking up at around 3am for change and food... Not fun. Especially since afterwards she refuses to fall asleep. :-P Last night she woke me up at 2:45am... and then I didn't get to bed until 4:30am... o.O I have had more fun. Gladly she let me sleep until 9:30am after that, so... But still! Nights are for sleeping, baby girl! I thought we had this down already, since she has been really good and slept through the nights up until now.

Our guess though is that she is starting to get teethes... since lately she has started to drool like you wouldn't believe. In other words... Fun times ahead indeed.

Reading the Secret Santa stories that has started to be posted at TH_Fanfic. :-) I love fic-fests at that community, since they are always so well organized! HAIL ALL THE MODS! *waves* It's a lot of twincest though. And even though I do so very much try to be supportive off all writers, I just... can't with some twincest. :-P I am not a fan of it, unless the summery shows a really really interesting story idea. I do prefer the G's to be involved in some way, one or both of them. Or hell, anyone else that shows up in Tokio Hotel fanfic. Just... not twincest. Not so much my cup of tea, even if it IS the most popular pairing in the fandom. Fine for those that like it though. Be my guest. I just wish there was more of all the other pairings to balance it up. :-P I'll try to read as many twincest stories as possible, because I DO want to give my support to the writers who has worked SO HARD to get the stories done in time for the fic-fest. :-)

Anyhow, Christmas is almost upon us (oh dear) and even though I have payed for all of my christmas-gifts I haven't gotten them all yet. Because one of the guys I won two auctions from is an idiot. *head-desk*

I won the auctions 3:e of December. But I didn't hear anything from him in THREE WEEKS! o.O That is last weekend I got a mail 16th of December. Day before I had mailed him and before that I had tried to call him, using the number on his contact info. I tried this MANY TIMES, until I got the message that the number was out of order... WTF? So I figured I'd been scammed and put out the worst review ever on his profile, giving him nearly no points at all. Lowest you could give. THEN I GOT AN EMAIL! o.O Full of excuses, mostly that he'd moved and hence hadn't been able to send the stuff off... DUDE! I don't know about you, but it doesn't take me THREE WEEKS to move! And even if it takes me that long to unpack and such, I mean... If you KNOW you have auctions going, wouldn't you, you know... Put that stuff on the TOP of a box? Or in a special box even? *shakes head* The mail was just FILLED with excuses, and not a word if he'd send it to me... and he started talking about what the practice and unwritten rules are on the site... My dear sir... I am in no way obliged to follow any other rules then those written by the site. If I think you deserve shitty reviews, I will give you that. I have, however, agreed to make it a bit better if he manages to send it off so I get it in time for Christmas. I have my doubts, but if he does? I will. Unlike him, I do keep my promises. Just... what a mess. First time I've had ANY kind of problems with online auctions.

I had a TON of luck with one (I got a brand new usually VERY expensive thing for Peting for peanuts)... and I guess I had to have problems with another just to balance things, I suppose...

Righto!

Bedtime now and tomorrow! I'll wrap the gifts that have gotten here and make sure the apartment don't look like a total mess... and cuddle Alexandra, of course. ;-)

I'll leave you with some AWESOME vids to enjoy! :-D

First some drumming... You all should know how I feel about drummers, by now. I love them. And that's that. :-)

Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe fame posted these on his Twitter some time ago. He has apparently been involved in a concert... with just drummers. :-D How awesome ain't that??? And the music is GREAT! Do give these a chance and a listen through!

I love watching kid drummers to! Many that show such skill at such a tender age! I just hope many of them keep it up. :-)

Shout at the Devil (Mötley Crüe) played by a 6 year old! And he is GOOD! )

Another thing I love is Disney movies... Despite the... strange things that show up in them. :-) So this seriously made me lol! X-D

The 4 worst lessons Disney movies thought us as kids... )

Anyone who has missed me being a cat-lover hasn't been on my LJ for very long... *lol* Anyway, here's a really cool vid with some of the most uncommon cat-breeds out there! There's a few I would love to either own or meet in real life! :-D

Top 30 unusual cat breeds... )

And now I REALLY need to go sleep! X-D NIGHT!

Right. This is going to be quite a depressing post. So avoid if it bothers you.

But hell. Everyone and their mother are fleeing, so I probably have no readers left, right? :-(

I made my first post on this site 14th of December 2003.

That's 9 years, if you don't feel like counting. 9 long years.... You make a lot of friends in 9 years, don't you? Quite a few of the people I have on my friends list I've followed, talked to for ALL them 9 years. Every single day.

I've spent hours, investing my time in your life, your families, your troubles... your love-life, your sex-life... I've laughed and cheered you all on when things have gone well for you. I've cried with you when something bad has happened to you, and life has kicked you in the nuts. I've offered advice when you've needed it, and even when you didn't. I've fought with you, and I became friends with you again.

I thought it meant something. I thought I had friends here... I did. This was my home. You all were my extended family.

I understand your anger with the changes LJ has done. I've checked the new friends-list by logging in on my daughters LJ, [livejournal.com profile] mini_viking. And I agree. It's a pain in the ass.

But unlike so many others, I can't just leave.

LJ is MORE then just a blogging/journal platform for me. I've invested soooo, so much time here. It's my home. You all are my extended family.

And now I am left behind, like it all meant nothing.



I have made a Dreamwidth. Not because I want to. But because I feel forced to. I am not happy about it. Not one bit. I really don't feel comfortable there. But I feel like I have no choice. None. I am forced to leave my home...
