What are your pets names?

It looks like that you really love your cat, if you write "her" about it !

My pet name is "Marta", because it was born in March.

How long have you got your pet?

I've got my cat for about 8 years.

My dear friends. All of us can speak russian, and so we do in other topics of this forum. And what hell are we doing here??? Why do we use english here, instead of russian?

There is an opinion that the same thought, described in different words, is the different thought. People are what they think, and HOW they think. English has its strong and weak features. May be we will open something new in each other, when speaking English.

What other languges do you speak(or read)?

Russian, i hope...
if i can say i speak english of couse. :-)
By the way, Tatyana could you check my spelling?

My question:

Is there something or somebody you have in your mind everytime?

No... I don't think so... I change my mind too often.

Are you a perfectionist?

(Михаил of couse = of course)

No. I'm not.

Are you glad with your job?

Sure. I'm selfemployed.

(I would ask: Are you satisfied with your job? Or, Do you like your job?)

Do you like to provoke people?

No, I don't.

Do you know the difference between Good and Evil?

Yes, i do. I suppouse
I think every man have "good and evil" sense.

Do you like soccer?

Not really, but I haven't played much. Just a couple times. It's fun - to run on the field and kick the ball.

What is your favorite sport game?

The soccer :-)
But i can't say i'm very good with it... I like to play time to time.

Do you like live in USA?

Maybe...I never visited USA.

Where do you prefer to live?

I'd like to live where I'm living now. And to tell the truth - I mostly live in the internet. (just kidding )

What is your favorite movie and why?

There are a few.
I like the good old soviet movies. Because there is much humor in it, and they are very kind. Nice actors were used there.

English dictionary - of course
this is the right spelling

So would you like to go to the space?

No, I have too many things to discover here, on Earth.

Oh, and my question is...

What is life for you?

Сообщение отредактировал(а) Нисташка - 6.02.2007 - 14:48

Everythind i can feel and i can get to know.

Do you regret you haven't done something in your life? If you could back to the past, what you had done there?

I would not change my past, or do anything different. When I look back, I see that all I've done was necessary at that moment, and it probably could slightly be changed, but not much.
I don't regret I haven't done anything in my life, because I have. For example, I've given the life to my son.
But there are still things I'd like to explore, and do, and try, and create, and enjoy in my life.

How do you like salespeople?

I like salespeople. And what is more i think it could be usefull for myself to get practice in sales.
Have you seen very nice movie "Glengary Gross" (i'm not sure with spelling)?

It's realy good films about sales and salesmans.

I was supprised when our bussiness couch recomend this movie like practice stuff.
You know only sales can give profit. Onle sales.
You live in USA, so i suppose you understand it better than me, because sales schools in Russia are american sales schools.

What is your favorite dish?

Well, to me the question of "favorites" it is one of the most difficult ones. I prefer variety and most of my favorites, including dishes, depend on my mood and the weather of today

Have you some stable preferences or follow your humour?

Сообщение отредактировал(а) Tuny - 7.02.2007 - 15:27

Hmm...
I like wise humour.

Did you hear this joke?

One englishman find himself on a desert island.
When he was rescued in much time later, they found three buildings...
He was asked what he had need three buildings for.

He aswered: "One is my home, i live there, Second is the club i vizit, Third is the club i ignore!..."

Do you like fishing or hunting?

A nice story, indeed!

I choose fishing as I do not like sound of shoot and then I feel sorry about the animals. Somehow I do not feel this way about fish

Tuny,


you forgot to ask the question!

Михаил

No, I haven't, but I ordered it and I found the scripts

Have you seen the 'Tommy Mcguire' movie, and if yes, what do you think about it?

Yes, i've seen "Jerry Maguire" (with Tom Cruise starring). Did you mean this movie?
About ten years ago this movie was very popular and gave big money to its producers, i heard.

So, now i think it is nice, professional work. It's entertainment, show.
It was blockbaster! And so on.

But i realy have doubts about the movie can teach anything, for example - sales.
As for me "Glengary..." is more serious film.

Oh! Sorry! Absent minded a bit.
My question (as I can see here is a right chink to put it) is: what do you like better - to be a driver or a passenger?

Сообщение отредактировал(а) Tuny - 8.02.2007 - 11:15

It depends on...
There are terrible traffic jams in Moscow so i prefer to be passanger sometimes.
But i like to drive!

What about you?

As for now, I do like to be a passenger
But I want to drive too... I hope that some day I will like to be a driver

Would you like to know many other foreign languages (except English ) and which of them? And why just these (languages)?
I'm sorry if I have a lot of questions

Well, I do like languages, but the other side of it - I can not say I can speak all of them fluently as I have no time enough to work on my vocabulary and skills.
Up to now I can speak French (if they do not leave me a chance to use English), can understand a bit of written German, especially with a dicitonary. It is funny - I do not like this language at all, but I was to translate some texts for my job. So I read a bit of Grammer, remembered my weak Dutch (ah, I can speak very little of Dutch as well) and did it, trying my best not to remember those German words. But I did remember them and now can recognise and understand. But I can not pronounce them properly.

Which of langauges you do not speak but would like to?

Italian, Spanish, French, German, Japanese

I do not see the answer to my previous question:

Which of the foreign languages you'd like to know (speak) and why just these?

I would like to know well French (much better then I do), Italien, Spanish and especially Portuguese - I like the sound of it. You see, every language sounds like a sort of melody to a foreign ear (for one who can not understand it). I was always curious how does Russian sounds in this way.
By the way, that is why I do not like German - I do not like the melody of it. Or may be I just can not understand the beauty of it melody

Are there any languages you do not like?

Hungarian I guess, it's very complicated, and Hungarians speak foreign languages very little...

Do you like skating or skiing?

Both, but I like skiing more, probably because I used to ski with my father every winter when I was a child.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I like reading, especially poems, and watching TV. Sometimes I go for a walk or visit my friends. I love going to the cinema or to the theatre, too.

What is your favorite season of the year and why?

Late spring, I've got my birthday on may. :-) And It's wonderfull weather on may.
Also I like september very much.

Do you like children?

I do especially if they are well-bred, merry and smart

Do you think that the weather is always good or there are some situations that you do not like 'such weather' at all?

Once we traveled in Crimea, with tents and backpacks, and it was rain one night. We got all wet. We changed our clothes to dry ones - we always took extra dry clothes just in case, and the next day we didn't have extra dry clothes anymore. But next day it was rain again, and when we got closer to the top of the mountain ridge pass Aj-Petri, the rain started to turn snow. I didn't like that weather at all. It was getting late, dark. We had a chose to sleep in wet clothes and wet tent, or go about 40 km without sleeping down to Yalta. Good thing, we found a shelter on the top, and stayed there for the night.

Do you have a story about your self, that you like to tell people when you first meet them?

Yes, I have.

I've got a terrible story about Sea.
Once, when I was a student, I and my two friends had summer vacation in Crimea, in students camp.
So, we was swimming in sea, moving away from the shore. The weather was fine and sea was quiet (it's easy to swim in quiet sea). We was pretty far from the shore. And nobody was going to suggest come back... Because we was young and.. we was boys...
We had been swimming about two hours, moving from the shore further and further, when I noticed dolphin close by us. I was so tired so I couldn't feel any emotions about it. :-)
Well, I realy don't remember who have suggested to turn back. I just remember I swum back very long time, permanently took rest on the water...
When I come back to the shore It took me about 4-5 hours at all.... I had to walk to camp for 3 km... Because we couldn't determine where to swim exactly.
Resume:
My first friend came back to the camp over 5 hours, I - over 7 hours, and last one - over 9 hours... when we was ready to sound the alarm. :-)))

My question:
Do you have precious dream?

Yes, my dream is to be a good writer and psychologist.

What about you?

I haven't :-)

Do you think it is necessary to be a good psyhologist to be a good writer?

Not necessary. I just want to be that kind of a writer which is a psychologist as well.

What English word is hard for you to pronounce?

Well I hope I can pronounce most every english word if I've heard it.
I have another difficults with english. For example I can't understand what, where and when I should use prepositions.
Listen to the music... depend on... key to the door... and so on
It can't understand so It must be just remembered. :-)

Did you have problems with your english when you arrived to USA?

What do you mean by 'problems'? When I needed something I always could explain it, (helping myself with gestures). When somebody needed something from me, he(she) could explain it to me. I asked to repeat. But I still don't feel comfortable comunicating in English.

Do you like learning?

Yeah, sure. I love learning all the time and I want to know something new all the time.

Do you like dreaming, and if yes, what do you usually dream about?

For some time now I almost haven't dreams. I mean when I'm stay awake.
And I like it. Because, imho, dreaming much is indication of mental desease.

Dancing and yoga-ing Try not to eat much

Did you write poems (maybe small) although once in your life?

Yes, of course. I used to write a lot. though now I have almost lost my inspiration.

To have open heart (to the world and people) and wide open eyes
maybe to be in love a bit... at least in love with life

Who is your favorite actor (actress) and films with him/her?

Hard to say. Usually I link an actor and his character. If I like the character, I like the actor.
Let's say my favorite actor is Johnny Depp, and 'The Pirates of the Carabian'.

They say that every actor wants to play Hamlet, and every actress wants to play a prostitute. What character would YOU like to play?

I would like to play God father... ) Maybe I would to play heartthroub )

What do you usualy do when you are tired much?

Creeping to the bed and sleep

What do you do to cheer up? (yourself)

Take a cool shower, jogging, taking a walk.

Do you like singing or dancing and why?

I love both signing and dancing, because I adore music and lyrics. I adore signing because it helps me express myself, my mood, my heart and my soul.

What is your favorite song?

I love to sing too, so I have a lot of favorite songs For example, from films and cartoons - the first one that occur:
Пора-пора-порадуемся на своем веку...
Ничего на свете лучше нету, чем бродить друзьям...

Or, for example, Heal the world (ideological song by M.Jackson ) or We are the world

The best partner in your life - what is he like?

Good question As usual

He(or she) is NOT intrusive.
He has a sense of humor.
He takes life easy. But he cares, he is attentive.
He is smart.

And other stuff which consiosness does not control

Have you ever been slaped in the face? (literally or metaphorically)

Hmm... As I remember, yes... It was in remote past, and a friend of mine did it, but I can't remember the details (why she did it). I just remember that it was unexpectedly and very offensively.

Did you fight (scuffle) with somebody in childhood? (or later...)

Yes. I had fights with my sister in my childhood.
And later, when I went to the karate class, we had training fights regularly.

Can you describe the most romantic declaration of love?

Well... It doesn't depend on where to say or how many roses are presented...
It rather depend on how deep and honest filings are.

What about you?
Can you talk about most romantic declaration of love in your life?

I do not know what declaration was the best!
Maybe the best declaration of love in my life is forward.

Do you know what is love?

Сообщение отредактировал(а) Роуз - 20.02.2007 - 10:22

"Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!" - "Love is just a game"
I'm agree with both opinions.

How friendship is different from love?

You can have a lot of friends, but love is indivisible.

Do you like to dance and what kind of dances do you prefer?

Yes, I do. I prefer paired dances. For example, Lindy Hop or Boogie Woogie... or hustle, at last

What about you? (dances )

I am single and I like single dances, espesially latin. I like to dance and think about something mine and to look at other dancers...

What kind of rest do you prefer? Maybe, travelling, or reading, or meeting with a lot of friends?

Of course, travelling, not trawelling! My computer is in order, it is the matter of my English - I did not speak English during a long time.

Сообщение отредактировал(а) Роуз - 21.02.2007 - 16:10

Yes, all of it. Something completely different than what I do regularly.

Do you have several clothing styles? What are they? Which is your favorite?

About dances. I like to dance, too. My favorite one is belly-dance.

I like the clothing style which is comfortable. Usually I wear trousers and sweatres in winter and trousers and shirts during summer.
On holidays I always put on a skirt.
As regards decorations, I wear only ear-rings and sometimes necklaces.
At my work I wear white coat.

Do you like to travel and make photos? What are your favorite places?

Oh yes! I love travelling and making photos I'm in love with Crimea - sea & mountains

It's very good question, that's why I just repeat it for the following person:

Do you like to travel and make photos? What are your favorite places?

I like to travel around Russia. There are a lot of real miracles in our country. Recently I have bought a camera and began to make photos, and now I recognize that it`s very intresting. But I do my best to photograph something unusual, I don`t like photos like "Here am I and the Kremlin". Most of all I like to photograph the sky.

Did you conquer any apex in your life (really or metaphorically)?

Yes, I used to be an alpinist. My first peak was the Tourist peak in Caucasus mountains, its height is about 3000 m. The most unforgettable apex is not an apex but a pass - Aj Petri in Crimea Mountains. The weather was disasterous when we reached it.

And the town where I live now is called Apex

Metaphorically... In 9th and 10th grades I won one of the first 3 prizes on the republic math olympiad, and took part in the USSR math olympiad.

Also, when the guy I loved left me (I was 18) I started to teach myself to love and behave with men. I read books, observed other people behavior. (I didn't know about trainings ) And I think I did a pretty good job in that.

What is your favourite beverage?

My favourite beverage depends on my mood.
When I don`t feel well I begin to drink coffee. During my work I drink mineral water or herbal tea.
And on holidays or in caze of cold weather I engoy my favorite beverage - hot tea with something alcoholic. During my travellings I like to buy as a souvenir different alcoholic drinks, in Russia there are a lot of tasty infuzions on herbs and berries.

Do you like to cook and what are your favorite foods? May there is some food that you can cook better than anyone else? Or your own culinary style?

Hi Lisa! I'm glad that you are here!!!

What character trait do you like in people the most?

I like sincerity. I value it most of all traits of character.

What is your opiniion about loneliness - is it difficult to always be alone or is it useful to be alone sometimes?

I finde it is useful to be alone sometimes.

I need loneliness to think, to relax, to read.

I need it quite regularly , about one or two hours every day.

But I can"t be alone long time.

Loneliness for two or three days is horror for me.

I appreciate sincerity. But I believe this trait is not always appropriate.
Time to time it is useful to pretend.

What do you think about hypocrisy? Do you need this trait, is it good or bad, can it be useful?
