First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Hello all!
I think I wrote a lot in the "About Me" section of my page, so let's I'll try to add something to it.
I'm not sure what should I write about myself, because one of the old proverbs says "Don't tell anything about yourself whether good nor or bad - in the first case no one believes you and in the second one people even exaggerate things."
So, let's talk about something neutral - about like the weather.
People are always talking about the weather, right?
The weather here is hot as hell, so I'm sitting in front of my computer half-naked.
Even the night (it's about 02:30 here) doesn't bring the cold that wanted so much. (Here it might be best to say 'Even at night it doesn't get as cold as I want it to.')
Maybe I should go outside and make a snowman and after that drink vodka with my old good friend - the polar bear. (There is a set phrase 'my old friend' that usually implies 'good' as well, but it's ok to say 'my old good friend.')
The last sentence, as you already guessed, obviously is a joke about stereotypical cliche stereotypes about Russia and Russians. (To say "stereotypical cliche" is redundant; you could say either 'stereotypes' or 'cliches.')
With that I'm going to eat and sleep. Tommorow will be even hotter - about +32 C*.
So good day/night/dusk or dawn to you all.
P.S. Why is there no "Preview" button? Argh, forget about it.
You write really well! Sorry for all the picky corrections but I hope they're helpful!
