What a difference smut can make?..

Last night remuslover made my week. (Sounds exciting, doesn't it?) She told me that she had recommended my "Revenge..." to a woman who had never read R/S before, which threw me off a bit, because that story is smut-galore. I mean, they shag in an alley, for crying outloud, and there's 'a whole lot of rimming going on'. Well, it turned out that the woman loved that story so much that she didn't even say goodbye to Ni online. She went immediately to her husband, woke him up and...well. You get the picture.

Oh my God, I am so proud. I mean, how cool is that?!

Hehe...

You've got questions - we've got answers.

So, way before she left on holiday, soupytwist asked questions. I, being me, forgot to answer them. So, here are the answers. Also, the answers to canis_m's questions.

( What, no 'At Swim' questions? Gosh! )

EDITED TO SAY: Forgot this part! If you'd like to be interviewed, simply ask. :)

I'm tired. I am going to bed early today. I have to do a lot of things tomorrow. Bed. Early. Sleep.

My mom told me something rather upsetting today, just thought I'd share:

There was this incident somewhere - Boston, the surroundings? I'm not really sure - where a road was closed down because of an accident. This young woman, 28-30, was driving down it and she was late to work. She had to stop because the road was blocked off and she started yelling about how she was more important than the accident, she was late to work, they simply HAD to let through, blah blah blah, bullshit. Turns out, she was Russian - she moved here with her family when she was 9. Well, this was reported in a newspaper, and she was described as yelling in her 'broken English'. The headline read 'That's Russia for you!'

Now, just a minute. Excuse me. If she's been in this country since she was 9 and is now 28-29, her English cannot be broken. That's simply untrue. Kids learn faster - that was my advantage, for instance, and I hardly have any accent left. And I've been here for a shorter time. So, annoying thing number 1.

As for the headline, mistake #2. If she came to the States when she was 9, most of her education would have taken place here. And if she'd had a Russian education, she would never have yelled: 'I am more important!' because the famous motto that little kids are taught in Russia - and is pounded into them day after day, as I should know - is the complete opposite of that message. You see, the word 'I' in Russian is 'ya', and it's one letter. In fact, it's the last letter of the alphabet. So what we're taught is "'I' is the last letter of the alphabet', meaning 'you are not important, everybody else is.' (And my friends wonder what my problem is...)

So, that just upset me. Russia has never really been respected as a country, and sometimes it really shows. I find that to be so unfair. Russians are the drunkards, the loud assholes, the Commies, the barbarians. Oh, and they write really tediously long novels. And for some reason people can get away with making fun of it all. With making judgements about Russia without knowing anything about it. I may not want to live there now, but that's for my own personal reasons, and I still love it. And I respect it.

Oh, well. Life sucks sometimes.

Anyway, for a nice change of mood, here is something absolutely hysterical. If you've ever worked at a bookstore, or any sort of service like it, you have got to read this. If you merely sympathize, you have to read this. And if you just want a good laugh at human stupidity, read this.

This guy is hysterical. I want to have, like, 10,000 of his babies. (Theoretically speaking, of course.)

Go laugh. I promise you won't regret it. Many thanks to croupier for this. Made my night.
