Hello, I've got a funny story for you. But first of all, a few updates, probably explaining why both Kris and I have been kind of.. LJ-mute lately?

Next Wednesday, Kristin is visiting me here, in Moscow. So.. kind of getting ready for that. 
I'm going to meet her at the airport, and I'm bringing a sign with me, which I hope she will be able to ( Read more... )

I'm in a writing mood today!

This June I graduated from a high school here in Moscow. Right now I am taking a year off to prepare for college: I plan to continue studying in the United States.

Soo.. Mom and I wanted to watch a movie. After quite a bit of searching for something, I finally found the LoTR trilogy and we decided to watch the first part today.. because my mom keeps confusing Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter. Yes.
She does know what the stories are about, but she doesn't remember, for example, where specific scenes are from ( Read more... )
