KSena's Journal

But apart from that, things goes quite well... It's just so damn cold and the winds really bite into you. Not my idea of fun, I can't say.

Yeah, I'm all outside nearly every day now. I make up reasons to get out and fix things, because I'm not a person who enjoys going out for a walk... I think that's boring and blah... So, errands everyday.

I've also sold a bunch of stuff on Tradera (swedish Ebay) for over 200 dollars. o.O It was my old medieval clothes that I sold, all in real wool and real linnen. And sewn by me. So I put it for auction, for less than the material was worth I think. And then I still pulled in that much! Totally impressed!

So currently my little walks is to send that stuff off. And since not everyone pays at the same time, it creates a walk for me everyday. :-)

When I'm at home, I sit mostly on the computer. I've ended up totally obsessed with YouTube. There's a few YouTuber that I follow, and man... I really love watching their stuff! There's some really fun people out there, and some are really talented to! :-D

I also spend a TON of time on Twitter, Plurk and Instagram.

Oh, and to keep warm me and my best friend have joined in all other fans of the company Kränku. For serious, they make the best tea you can get your hands on in Sweden! o.O And the company has now turned 40 years! So every month they have a monthly tea this whole year! :-D So I'm gonna drown in tea, but I don't even care. :-D

It's hard to understand that I've been on sick leave this long... My poor replacement is not having an easy time btw. He is a really sweet and kind guy. REALLY! He really really is. Problem though. You gotta have some balls and be a bit tough on that school, or the kids will run right over you. They're a bit like animals that way. They see one itty bitty weakness... They attack and will exploit that weakness like hell! Not physically, obviously, but mentally. So yeah... And since he to is an previously bullied kid, he has a bit of troubles with pushing back against that. I've gotten a bit further in process than he, so I can just give as good as I get when the kids go mean like that. Me and my boss has been there a few times to support him, but I mean... I jump at crutches. I can tell the kids off, which I'm good at, but that's pretty much all I can do. :-P

When I go back to work I won't work full time right away, so it'll be the both of us then for a while. I think that's good. Makes it a good transition, so to speak.

Anyway, some fun stuff! :-D

I've discovered that the graphics community, that makes these shiny icons for me and also all the blinkies I have at the bottom of each post... It was a dying community, but for some reason... It has a revival right now! :-D There's users coming back to LJ, at least in that community! TOTALLY COOL!

And I had a comment with sireesanwar that it's easy to not dare to make new friends on LJ, but really... Branch out! There's so many awesome users still here, so why not? :-) I know I have a quite a few new friends that I really appreciate here on LJ. :-) Not to mention I know there are those reading my LJ that are not LJ-users as well. :-D Totally appreciate those to!

Then I have to say, I had a bit of squee over an old fandom the other day. I nearly woke up the kid when I saw it! X-D But the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie is fast approching. Oh no, you say... Not another shitty one... And I was thinking the same. Until I saw the trailer the other night. And dude. It looks like they are going back to the dark / wacky / adventure that made the first three so good. Also... Cursed Captain Will Turner is there! :-D I can't even tell you how excited I am about that! *giddy* So check it out!



Johnny Cash music in a pirate movie? Well... I'd say it WORKS! :-D Brilliant! Looks really good! I thought I was way over that fandom.

I was wrong. X-D

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. :-)
