Narmalna! Moved to a place of my own, changed my job. Am trying to grow my hair and be nice to people. :) The city's looks much friendlier now that it's warm (or at least not as cold as in December). Think you'll ever get a chance to come here again?
Sounds like you've been busy... where are you working now?
Grow your hair out and be nice to people?! Why the hell for??! Where's the fun in that :)
I'm honestly not sure when I'll be able to visit again. I'm going to try hard to visit in December again, since I'll be in Italy, but I'm not sure how I can get a visa since they've changed the rules. If not, hopefully by next summer. It's really hard for me to say given my financial situation, but I'll be sure to let you know when I'll be around; I miss everyone terribly much.

"друзья" is friends, and "только" is only, however, because of the nature of livejournal, the use of friends really doesn't necessarily carry the same meaning as a real friend (see the wikipedia entry on LJ). I'm assuming this is why they use the transliterated version to denote a private lj.
I originally had it set as "друзья только", but my friend Ann in Moscow (see comments) corrected me. I had seen it on other Russian friends' ljs but I simply forgot...So I changed it.

Thing is, almost all users around here write it in English, and those who don't - write the English 'Friends Only' in Cyrillic, like, transcibing it (just as many other words related to specific spheres - like, you know what it's all about and if you don't - you probably have no idea what LJ is). Sort of. Of course, it's not so complicated for many users, but basicly, that's the explanation.
hi! i was on the random lj generator and your journal appeared. i like your "scoots" and your little dog, and we have a lot of interests in common like audrey hepburn. i am 23 and from russia and learning english... slowly, haha. i see you are learning russian! we can be friends and trade languages i hope. :)
of course! Thank you, I like meeting new friends. I have many friends in Russia, but none from Sochi -- most of all of my friends live in Moscow, but of course new acquaintances from everywhere are warmly welcomed.
I lived in Moscow for a few months last year to study at a university as well, but I'm afraid my Russian is quite poor. I'm certain that I am learning Russian, probably much more slowly than you're learning English :)
well i live in new york now, studying at NYU so i have to learn english FAST... new yorkers have no time for waiting, even other immigrants!
i am glad to have a new friend from the south, as you said about sochi, i have not met anyone from the south besides my roommate from virginia. is it true that southerners have the most american pride? hehe. :) i would like to visit one day, but i will need a bucket of sunscreen. russians are not supposed to see light.
I can imagine; I sometimes have difficulty understanding New Yorkers myself! I have a few friends and family members who live in the North East and they talk circles around me
