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.

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!

( Berzerk Sizzle Reel Part One and Two )

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

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

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....

*tries to find her way back to her happy place*

I have gotten so many new followers lately it is... staggering. 133 people on LJ find my ramblings worth there while... Wait, what? o.O And I can hardly amuse myself at times. The INSANITY! But on the other hand, insanity is quite common around here. Right! On with the introduction!

So what the hell do I write...?

Ehr...

Yeah. I really suck at doing this, but I'll give it a go then. I am really to old to be a fangirl over young men or women, born 1977 making me 33 years old. (Aged and decrepit, I know...) I am not entirely straight, I'd more call me bisexual then anything else since I am eyeing up both men and women, although I have lived with my beloved peting73 since 2003. A wonderful man, and I can't see my life without him anymore. He is just... there. :-) And he loves me, despite my... strangeness and fangirlyness. The fact he can have straight-faced discussions about the gayness in slashfics, just makes him even more awesome. X-D If it is even possible.

I have a national masters degree in Library and Information Science (swedish) and I am working as a librarian. Not full time, only hours here and there at various libraries in town. It is not easy getting a job as a librarian, let me tell you. I have had jobs/positions as... well, most shitty jobs out there let me tell you, but I have finally, at my age, started to work with what I have dreamed off. HALLELUJA!

Talking off. I am an atheist, but I do like discussing religion to.

I might come off as a rude bitch, but really... I bark worse then I bite and I got a HUGE heart. Cross my friends or family though, and I'll go hell on your ass. And that goes in RL to. Ask any of my RL friends, spicehobbit, astroflammante or any of the others.

Family and friends are really really important to me, as you can see. :-) I was badly bullied for most of my time at school, and the few friends I did have (spicehobbit in particular) kept me sane during those years.

When it comes to fandoms, my latest obsession is Tokio Hotel, something my RL friends poke a bit of fun at me for. Cradle-robbing and what not... *cough* Yeah, yeah... They are all younger then my little brother... :-P But I like them anyways. Especially them G's, Georg and Gustav. They really don't get the attention they deserve those boys.

I also adore the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and especially the threesome Will Turner / Elisabeth Swan / Captain Jack Sparrow. Shut up. In my world they are a threesome, so there. But my absolute favorite character in said movies are Will Turner. Such DELICIOUS angst! And he is the character that develops the most during the movies, closely followed by Elisabeth. Much love on those two for that.

Another fandom I usually adore is the Buffyfandom. Although now, it is mostly heavy discussions on comics and... ugh... So I have withdrawn a bit from it, even though I still read a lot of fanfic and such.... My favorite characters from said TV-show is easily Xander Harris and Spike and Drusilla. No threesome here though! I doubt dear Xander would survive a meeting with Dru. ;-) Now with Spike on the other hand... X-D

Anyway!

Don't think we are done yet. Told you I am involved in to many fandoms.

I also LOVE and ADORE Xena the WarriorPrincess! YAY! NOTHING beats that TV-show for cheer awesomeness and tongue in cheek! Even though it doesn't take it self serious at all, there are still some really heavy episodes in that show. :-D It has a perfect balance between crack, humor and blood, guts, drama. I love it. My favorite characters in there is Xena (especially Evil!Xena) and Gabrielle. True love, folks... True love... (Edward and Bella can just shove it where the sun don't shine....)

Lastly, and this just shows my age, I ADORE the old TV-show Robin of Sherwood... And especially Will Scarlet... there you got angst that has gone bloody on your ass! I would not cross that man, if I could help it! It is a wonderful TV-show, still holding up even though it is almost 30 years old. (Its first episode aired 1984.)

When I am not fangirling and sitting here spending time in front of the computer or working I am LARPing. ;-) Specifically vampire-LARPing. It is awesomely fun, and I have made so many awesome friends there in our LARP club it is amazing. And pretending to be a bloodthirsty vampire every other week is strangely addictive.... *laugh*

I also play A LOT of World of Warcraft, and I play various characters on line in different RPG's. :-) (Wanna hook up for a game? THESE are the characters I have played and currently play.)

So yeah... Thats me. :-) Good lord. It turned longer then planned. You who have known me for longer... Did I miss anything? ;-)

A question here: Can a person act like an ass-hole and get away with it just because it is over the net? I believe some people think so. Or they just missed the netiquette-memo. I am highly annoyed here.

I am usually online on ICQ, MSN, AIM and Yahoo! when my comp is on. And on ICQ my Ignore list is growing longer by the day. Such idiots that has tried to talk to me! Sending me porn-pics (why would I be intrested in your penis, I wonder?), sending me idiotic-commercial-links (no, I don't want to buy from your mothers-uncles-brothers store...) and just being basiclly annoying people acting like ass-holes. And then, when I tell them that if you don't cut it out, I'll bann you and put you on my ignore list, they call me the bitch.......... SAY WHAT?!?! *sigh*

Nowadays I play alot of WoW (like any of you could have missed that...) and the same problem accours there. The worst the other day, when I played. I have now managed to get my hunter up to level 38 *am proud*, so naturally I have gone to an area in the game where the quests and beasts are a little tougher to manage, level 35-45. Last time I played, I was jumped by another character inviting me to a group wanting us to do quests together. When finding the little guy (an undead rouge), I saw that the character was level 15.... in an area with beasts level 35-45.... See why that won't work very well???? The little guy was persistant, tryint to invite me again, and again, and again, telling me in chatt "Invite me!" again, and again.... Wouldn't leave me alone. I told him why I didn't think it was a good idea to be in this area, and what area would be good for him to quest in. And then it came.... "Are you swedish?" OK. What the hell? I told him yes, but that wouldn't make me help him more, and again I told him why this area wasn't a good place to be. Didn't help. They guy now asked me in swedish for help, running after me, trying to pay me in ingame-money, trying to invite me to a group. Me, I am pretty pissed of by now. He then tells me I must help him, 'cause he is only a nine year old boy. *head-desk* OK. To have an account on WoW you NEED to be 18 years of age. OK, so he might have played on a brothers/sisters account, but still!?!?!!!! I didn't get rid of the annoying little thing, but put him on my Ignore-list (yes, you can ignore people on WoW to). And then I stopped playing for that day, since this annoying little pest destroyed my gameingexperience for that day!

Seriously.... Just because you sit infront of a computer-screen doesn't excuse bad behaviour... Gladly I have sensible people on my F-list so there is somewhere I can go and chatt with people that actually know how things work....
