Dear Russian Girl Whose Blog I've Been Reading.

Boy my Russian is rusty, and boy, your posts are long.

Cyrillic sure is pretty, though.

Wow, I've been reading your posts for a while, and yet the sense I have of you is so vague, it's as if you are a glimmer of a person, swathed in thick textiles, hidden in a snowbank, and me without my contact lenses.

Except you're not really in cloth in a snowbank, you're just...out there.

It sounds like I had you buried alive in my mind, and that's really not what I was getting at. Sorry about that.

The things I can say about you for certain are indeed few.

1) You are female.

2) You live in Russia.

3) You are a student.

4) You take photographs of the outdoors and post them.

5) You are a young adult.

6) You listen to music.

7) You have moods.

8) You use the emoticon feature for listing your moods and the music you are listening to (and these are in English).

Everything else is a maybe. Some people were walking somewhere, and after class something happened, and something about religious literature on the subway. You are maybe making yourself some jewelry out of something blue and black, and it appears you can relax until Monday.

I'm going to go laboriously translate one of your posts now.
