Dear Diary.
My friend is going on maternity leave, so I have no one to hang out with at Friday night etc. We now have one permanently sober and very sad person, and it's me >_< Bottles pile up untouched, lonely and forgotten - rum, champaigne, chinese plum wine with green plums. So now on Fridays I usually watch serials (Breaking Bad, btw) drinking green tea with apple jam.

Aw, Agent Baka, what a sad diary entry! I hope you find someone to help you drink all that alcohol soon. If I'm ever in Russia, I'll help! :)

Hey Wanchain, in this instance it's correct to use the present tense 'pile up' not the past tense 'piled up' for the bottles as she's talking about something that is happening now, if you notice every other verb is in the present tense, be it simple or continuous :)

Come on, tea with spoonful of jam is classical "russian tea". They even sell it somewhere like this - http://prismiclyon.blog.so-net.ne.jp/upload/detail/m_P1090196.JPG.html

I agree with Katrina's correction, except that I would change "pile up" to "piled up". On another note, what do you mean by drinking tea with jam? Perhaps I am ignorant, but that almost sounds like a logical error to me ~
