Ok so some time ago I wrote a small ficlet/drabble for the prompt "Champion" at nekid_spike. It's a small background story for my story  Wasteland, that only has the prologue and first part written... (you can find it here) hopefully there will be more of these ficlets which will lead me to finally being able to write the whole story...

This haven't been beta'ed but I have reread it a couple of times and run it through a grammar check.
If you find errors please let me know! I would greatly appreciate it, grammar really kicks my butt most of the time...


Title: They used to call us champions
Author: alterian
Pairing: None - but mention of Spike and Angel, plus a surprise.

Disclaimer: the characters aren't mine
A/N: Ok so this is a small ficlet of a much, much bigger story, but you don't need to know that story to read this...
I would really apreciate if you would tell me what you think....

Some days ago at nekid_spikeall the btvs/ats characters went and became moviestars!!
This first post have 3 wallpapers (pairing: Spike/Buffy, Angel/Faith, Spike/Angel) all are worksafe and there are even icons of the spuffy one!

I made two manips to the "Stephen King" challenge at whedon_art

One that actually won!!!!!

I here by give you Dawn and Fred
(Both are worksafe but beware of blood)

So a lot have been happening these last 2-4 weeks. My grandaunt, Elida, fell and broke her leg (she's 81 years old) so was in the hospital for a week (the had to put in spikes) and after that moved to a nursing home where they found blood clots. That cleared up and now she onlyy suffers from the leg pain and other pains that come from old age. 

Her sister, my granmother (86), went into depresion after Elida's fall. These two old ladies have always lived together, in the same building and efter grandpa passed away, in the same home. They moved to Sweden 12-13 years ago and since they can't speak Swedish they alway depend on eachother and the rest for the family for companionship. And when something happens to one of them, the other one is also affected. Though to be honest, there isn't a day that those two don't bicker with eachother. Seriously, we are talking about two person whech the family affectionally calls Tom & Jerry (you know... from the toons). Anyway as I was saying, grandmother went into depresion and suddenly she tells us that her medications has stopped working. So there she went.. to the hospital... and she's still there waiting to transfer to the nursing home. 

With all of these problemes it was desided that they would move to a retirement home(?). They Have been living in there own apartement doing their own shopping and so on, but had nurses come in at mornings and evening to help them with their clothes and showers and things which required heavy lifting. But know they are moving. They will still be having their own aprtements in the building but nurses will be around 24/7 should anything happened.

My poor mother is exhausted. Since they don't know the language she must bee there for every doctors appointement + visits everyday so they don't feel isolated + fight with the state for  their housing and compensation. Since Kristinehamn don't have a intepreter, though they are legally bound to hire one, my mother took time of her job too keep up with everything. Hopefully by next month things have settled down.

On a brighter note, were are having early summer days here. Yester day I took my bike and went for a ride, a two hours ride. I have been Here in Eskilstuna for two years but don't really know much of the city except the main district. So I turned right and kept going on one of Sweden's national bikeroads until I came to the forest. Passed some viking remaints on the way. Took some pictures that turnes out really good. I'll be showing them in the next couple of days...

All that exercise was good for me and I really enjoyed it. But god does my body ache today....

It's Earth Day today! And we're having warm spring days here. Went for a walk yesterday and took this photo. I thought it fitted today perfectly...


Spring is sprouting by ~Alterian on deviantART


...and on a sidenote I have spent most of today cleaning my kitchen. and Man did it need a cleaning...!

Isn't exercise suppose to help one sleep better at night? Nowadays whenever I do exercise, I'm wide awake after only 4-5 hours of sleep.
Just like now... I woke up totally refreshed and can go back to sleep. And it's only 02:45 in the morning!

Ok I just had to recomend something. For those who haven't seen the show Eli Stone I highly recomend you do. I woll soon sit down and watch the last(?) episode. I don't remember when the last a new show touched me as much as this one....

For more info on the show go HERE or HERE

Please tell me what you think!!

Spent last couple of days whatching a "doctor Who(2005)" and "Torchwood" marathon and I must say that I absolutely love them! I'm sade that the have 13 episode seasons instead of the US more commonly 22episodes but what can one do...

Another thing I love about the show are how imperfect the actors are. Sure after seing them on the telly one think that thay are beautiful. But once one begin to really see one takes notice that they really aren't your typically beautiful actors that one see on so many other show. And becouse of that they become more human and more credible.

I also like the anything goes sexual orientation that the show I thinnk it's belivable. I cant imagine that we'll have same hangups in the distant(or not so distant) future.

And all the slashy goodies they give me.....!

Went to Parga, Greece over the sumer and it was great! During all the fun we had I even experienced two earhquakes! (5,7 and 5,1 on the ritcher scale) I was a whole week of sun, water and incredible food. I can understand why mom and the step go there year after year.

The funny thing is that when I began school this semester I meet a fellow student that had met with them on their first trip there in 2001!

School have begun and I'm taking spanish and geography... lets see how it goes...

Oh and I have new computer!

Tabel #1 from 100_situations I'm finally taking a walk trough the madness. I need to learn to simplify stories. That that not all need to be an epic story that I'll have difficulties to continue. Hopefully this will help me. ( You find the table under the cut. )
