It's funny. It's late spring, nice weather and all that, and even so I still wish I were somewhere else. Somewhere with a job, with friends, with a healthier hip, with less obnoxious hopeless people... Somewhere less... Sweden.

So according to some sources it's basically Putin's United Russia that's keeping me from using LJ in a normal way. Can't my country's traditional arch-enemy (No, not you Denmark. The other one.) ever stop being annoying in our everyday life ( Read more... )

So time for one of my rare postings of fanfic writing again. Really ought to get better at it. Writing that is, not posting. Anyway, the usual pointless fluff warning is applicable.

It's the spring equinox on Monday, dzioo told me yesterday...

Sorry for the whining. I'm still tired from having spent a large chunk of yesterday on a hospital visit getting x-rays done.

In other words they broadly sweeps away not only us Swedes, but somewhat more original also all those international students who liked to do their master ( Read more... )

Just to prove to myself that I still can finish a ficlet. Sometimes. Not the best one I've done though.

Long time, no writing. Mostly because I haven't felt like I have had anything to write about. My life is Boring with a capital B. Currently I'm mostly being blue from another missed job opportunity since as so many times before my luck didn't last all the way.

I'm back from my somewhat improvised vacation (not that I told anyone except one that I was going in the first place, but never mind that) and have spent most of my time since I got back mowing grass and entertaining sister's kids. While the vacation was more about idly strolling through town and meeting relatives. With kids (well, only one, really ( Read more... )
