Hello YWS! It's me.

100 facts about me Me I'm not a genius. Most of my life I am in a good mood. I rarely change my mind. Usually I am calm. I do not drink or smoke. I am a vegetarian. I do not read newspapers and magazines, do not watch TV or listen to the radio. I get up on weekdays at 6-8 am, on weekends I try to get up no later than 10:00 am. I love paper books. They have a wonderful smell. I do not celebrate any holidays (except some personal). I am not interested in politics and news. I do not like when people do not want to be photographed. I do not believe in superstitions. I do not like unergonomic keypads. I always try to optimize my work. I have never been late. When I feel very bad, I write sad stories or haiku. I love England. If I say something or do something I usually think it is correct. If I have done or said something, usually I can not explain why it is so, but not the other way. (In fact, it is not always right, sometimes the choice is made on the basis of an inner voice, sometimes it is wrong.) My favorite writers are K. Vonnegut, E. M. Remarque, T. H. Huxley, M. A. Bulgakov. I can not be angry for a long time at something or somebody. I rarely go to the cinema and watch very few films (not counting movies about animals). I do not like conductors in public transport. My dream is to live in London. I love nature and animals. I can not get up and after 20 minutes leave the house. I need an hour and a half for it. I sleep for 5 - 7 hours a day. I do not do what I do not want to do. I do not play games, but I want to make my own computer game someday. I do not understand how people can lie on the couch and watch TV all day long. I do not understand disputes: "Film Camera - Digital Camera", "LCD - CRT", "Windows - Linux". It depends on the context. I have a sense of humor, but it is a little bit non-standard. I am a little bit non-standard too. Many people say this and, as I think, they do not like it. I offend very rarely. I can not stand the self-propelled vehicles for gasoline-powered. I try not to visit the busy and noisy activities. I guess I am asexual. Relationships with people It is difficult to communicate with me. Not all are succeed. I almost do not care what I look like and what people think about me. I have a few friends. People whose opinions I'm interested in are not enough. People whose opinion I really care about are even less. I also know that there are many people which are smarter than me. I do not want to say that I am smarter or better than anyone else. People never cease to amaze me. "Problems with parents" are a sign of your own infantilism. Another thing that I really do not understand: why are people so fond of blaming the solution of their problems on others. I am always ready to listen to the views of any person. But I agree with them only after a good thinking. There are very few people who are doing their job well, but there are so many people who say this. I really do not like the second category. I rarely hide from people my attitude towards them. I try to communicate with people from whom I can learn something, but there are very few. I do not know how to choose gifts for people. I rarely go to the guests, host even rarer. I do not understand people who want to quit smoking but can not. I respect people who are not too lazy to inform the author about an error, and I do not like people who can not adequately respond to these messages. It makes me laughing, when other people are envious of smarter people. Many people consider me boring. Many people do not understand me. Education, job Many useful things in this life I have learned myself. But there are people who helped me a lot. Every day I learn something new. I do not like to go to school/college/university. This is a waste of time. I think that there (see above) are too many useless and too little useful information. Everything you need, you can learn yourself. I think it is better to read the documentation, to look for in Google, to dance with a tambourine and understand something yourself, than to stick to someone with a stupid question. At the same time I love to help people and answer on their stupid questions. I do not believe that the presence or absence of higher education of a person says something about him. I also believe that the notes are not an indicator of knowledge. Computers, Internet, and communications. Cell phone and PDA are the things without which I do not exit home. I respect Microsoft. Bill Gates is genius, though he is not always guided by the interests of users. I rarely use emoticons. Some people use them too much and emoticons lose all meaning. I always try to write competently. The Internet has not its language, there are only literate language and its ignorance. I love technology. I try to use quotation marks, dashes and stuff the right way where it is possible (with a typographical keyboard layout it is possible almost everywhere). I can not understand why "Word" instead of a dash puts a minus. I have never changed the number of ICQ, probably because I use it very rarely. I have never changed the phone number because of the lack of money in the account. I remember by heart all numbers of mobile and fixed phones of all my friends, all establishments where I go and everybody whom I'm referring to. I love to write text messages. I talk on cell phone 30-60 minutes per day. I often surf the Internet at night. I am happy when I receive an email from a good man. There are no numbers in my phone book. (Why? See above) I spend at the computer 8-12 hours a day. I'm online 8-12 hours a day. But there are days when I just do not switch it on. I do not think I know any programming language to perfection. I do not think I see into computers. I have studied Pascal in school. I do not understand how one can use something other than Windows. I believe that people who write code in Windows Notepad and are proud of it, are either imbeciles, or they have an unlimited amount of time, or they simply have never written a lot of code. I tried to use Linux. I did not like. I like Windows Server 2003 because it is fast and stable. But Windows Vista and Windows 7 are much easier. I think the most important parts of a computer are monitor, keyboard, mouse, tablet, chair and table. With their help, a person interacts with the computer. The Internet is real as anything else. People there are also real. I do not understand why Russians decide to take other people's materials and post them on their sites. Why can not they to put a link? Although I am Russian myself, but I do not understand it. I do not get people's laziness of putting a link to the author while publishing other people's work. Things I believe that every thing first should be convenient. To buy something just because it is beautiful/trendy/cool is silly. I have very high demands on the things that I use. I love when everything is in place. When choosing a certain product I do not guide by its price, if it is possible. I choose the best for me.

PinShearwater, sukoshi. I want to learn it seriously.
This is a question, so: Anata wa, sukoshi nihongo ga wakarimasu ka?
No, I'm not laughing. I wish that the gold in this pot will be never-ceasing.
Weather is getting colder and colder.
I haven't wrote that I'm against education.
Yes. I like this site a lot.

Hai, hai! Wakatteru yo! =D
Ka=question marker. I don't know why I forgot to put that in. Then again, I think you could say: Anata wa sukoshi nihongo ga wakarimasu but it'd just be awkward Japanese and still incorrect. Whatever -__-

Ah, it's nice and warm in Atlantis

Make sure you dress warmly, lol. Winter must be brutal. D:
You my friend, seem to be a women of short words. Also, I don't feel like debating education so 'meh.
I'm glad you like the site, it can be quite addicting!

Oh, and it seems that my penguins have been raiding YWS by storm. Everyone seems to know about them, XD
Here you go! Play nicely!

I don't understand what does a woman of short words mean. And what is 'meh?

I guess, there is a little bit wet in Atlantis now : D

I am here because I want to improve my English. So I await your corrections.

I mean as in you don't talk that much.
Meh = interjection to show 'whatever'.
