First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hello all! I think I write a lot in "About Me" section of my page, so let's try to add something to it. I'm not sure what should I write about myself, because one of the old proverb says "don't tell about yourself neither good nor 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 the weather. People always talking about the weather, right? The weather here is hot as hell, so I'm sitting in front of my computer halfnaked. Even the night (it's about 02:30 here) don't bring the cold that wanted so much. Maybe I should go outside and make a snowman and after that drink vodka with my old good friend - the polar bear. The last sentence, as you already guessed, obviously is a joke about stereotypical cliche about Russia and russians. 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 there is no "Preview" button? Argh, forget about it.

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!
