All right.

Bally's picture shows her wearing a shirt that says "CCCP". Flashbacks to childhood, not wholly unpleasant. "Soiuz Sovetzkih Socialisticheskih Respublik". Yeah, try to pronounce that three times in a row. I dare you. C'mon.

Ah, the privilege of having an Eastern European language as "native". No one can say your name right. Ever.

But that's quite all right - makes me feel just a wee bit special, especially when someone almost turns blue trying to choke out just the first syllable. The power, man.

Well, no dear I don't think that's me, sorry :) And I am one to obsess over many things :) Heehee. Let's see... I was four and a half when I moved here, so I remember... like... nothing. What about you? How old were you?

Oh, freaky nonetheless - she says "dear" all the time. Heh. Wow, that *is* little - I was 11, so I remember quite a bit. Do you speak Russian at home, or no? I'm starting to forget it just the tiny little bit and it's scaring me. After all, I spoke it for 11 years with no interference of another language...

Be glad I havne't started with the various food item names- cookie, pumpkin, biscuit ;) I do speak Russian at home, mainly because it's traditional. I get evil looks when I waltz in saying 'Life is good' as opposed to 'zhizn klasnaya.' or something along those lines. I know what you mean though, I'm starting to forget little words here and there... it's weird. Did you speak it at home? Here I mean. I'm guessing your vocab is much bigger than mine... heh.
