Run To You Frozen

Well, it's not that I actually look forward to February, I don't really like the month. February is my, probably, last favourite winter months (and the 2nd last month after November) because it's too stormy in February, plus there are too many events I have to prepare to in February. At least some people I appreciate have their birthdays in this month. But February is only tomorrow, and today is January still.

No Heating. Math. New Phone Plan.

Russian winter!! We got hot water cut off, so there's no heating in the whole house too! So right now I have to be writing this post in my warm sweater with my cold sniffing nose and  hardly warm fingers. 

Party Weekend

If you think I've forgotten of this holy shit, you go for a wrong way. I'm just used to being sometimes a so damn couch potato even for my writing.
But if you remember, I must have written about my just another party with my classmates outside the city. Or I didn't do that... Never mind, the fact is that past weekend (25.01-26.01) I spent with my classmates and our head teacher at the cottage. Boys grilled meat, girls prepared the rest. There was billiards, and everyone had time to test it. Also there was a sauna with a cold swimming pool, so my mates and teacher were enormously glad to visit it, but my best friend and I did not, because we didn't feel up to, and in the end of it all I don't like saunas.

Probably, my best shot of that day

By the time of midnight we'd been playing various games. Dasha brought Alias, but we changed the rules a little bit, though it didn't spoil the game. Than came Twister, my love! When there're only me and my friend Misha on the playground, it can be called "Clash of the Titans". And when we turned out just to be wasting time moving on different parts of the mat, Misha decided to turn "a hardcore mode" on - he put his hands and feet far on my side, and so did I on his side, therefore the game became even more interesting! Off we go:

Notice a bold stool on the background

Then we played forfeits, and, to my mind, my forfeit was the most hardcore - I had to be wrapped up in the blanket, creep on the floor trying to reach 3 cups with juice and drink them without using hands. But the very same Misha made my task harder: he placed the cups in different places and on my way to the 1st cup he thew our backpacks, empty bottles and mini-mini-benches. Everyone including me laughed to the death, so when I reached the 1st cup on coming through that path full of dumb obstacles, guys let me off drinking only one cup.
I was probably the only one who didn't sleep for the whole night. Everybody then asked my why I'd done that, so my answer was simple: "Just because I wanted to". Somehow I had programmed myself not to sleep all night as well as not to drink any alcohol here (so my mates and teacher were extremely surprised when they figured out that Dasha and I won't drink). So, how did I entertain myself during the night? Firstly, some of us tried to watched a movie, but my best friend and I ended talking with other guys, then we finally went to sleep (approximately at 6 a.m.), but to get some space we had to wake up a girl who had gone to bed long before everyone. But in 5 minutes she came back to the room saying "So what? It's boring to be awake alone!" Therefore I got up on my feet reminding myself of my own promises and we both also talked, cleaned the dining room up a bit, the girl watched my American photos ('cause I'd brought my dear laptop to the cottage), then Dasha woke up, MORE TALKING. And about at 9 a.m. we  woke up everyone else.
I came home at 1 p.m., had lunch and dropped into sleep finally. But in the evening I even managed to learn two poems for my literature lessons.
Coming to the conclusion, I really liked our little party that never killed nobody.
I got Natalia Kills era again, so the song of the day will be her inflammatory "Trouble" from the album with the same name. BTW by and by I will get it!

Be brave, party to the death

History Of Mine (***Flawless)

OOOOOOHHHH What a day! To be correct, what a morning I had!

Reactive Sloth

THORsday, whooo! What a busy day. But for some reason we didn't have P.E. skating lesson today, so I even had 30 minutes to doze off between my English lesson and chorus rehearsal.

Today my freedom has restarted. I'm not about that I was under arrest or something, but my dad had had a long vacation (about 2 months), and today was his first work day. I hope tomorrow after school I'll make something for YouTube; I spread my influence LOL

Tomorrow I'll have my last Mantoux (tuberculin) test ever. One day I wrote about this test, and the most important thing for children is that you can't eat sweets, junk food and citrus plants and get your spot of the injection wet for 3-4 days, because all these things will cause allergic reaction for the test and make your injection big and red. And if the spot of the injection is red and big, it means you have tuberculosis, but in fact you do not, you've just eaten a tangerine! Actually, sweets and chips aren't so dangerous for the test reaction, if you know when to stop. Last year I even made an experiment: I excluded all sugar from my food - I drank tea without sugar, I didn't drink coffee at all (because I can't bear it without sugar), I didn't even touch sweets and chocolates and all that jazz just to figure out if I could survive without sugar. And I could not. On the third day of the experiment I felt myself so bad, sleepy, weak, my head was swimming, so all my condition was poor enough to understand life without sugar sucked.

There's nothing more to write about (since yesterday, sure), so I suggest you some nice picture for the night as we all like it. A week ago I watched "Pride and Prejudice" with Keira Knightley again, therefore there's some fan stuff about the movie.

Louder Than A Lion

Today was my first school day, wooooow! But it was... pretty usual. Well, what else should I have expected? Maybe, some of my teachers mentioned my Olympiad, and that's all. Generally, my day wasn't full of events, I dozed off nicely before my chorus rehearsal.
Yesterday I saw some Sochi 2014 merchandise and decided to buy dragee with the 3D toy representing one of the winter Olympic Games mascots. I got Snow Leopard skiing, and I had to put the skis and Leopard's paws to its body (like Kinder Surprise stuff). You may think, that's ok, what's wrong? And the thing is that Leo had... 2 LEFT PAWS. WHAAAAAAAAAAAA? And you know, my greatest thought is that somewhere in Russia there's Snow Leopard with 2 right paws.

Tomorrow we're gonna have the first PE lesson skating. I hope, we'll have a good company, because there may be loads of jokes with a fine company skating. But I'm a little bit upset we won't be able to play snowballs there nowadays, because you could remember we have a new super-duper stadium (we usually have our skating rink there), so it has its own fence, and at least our P.E. teacher will raze us to the ground if we play with snow on the rink. *SO LOL*

Yesterday I watched the last episode of "Sherlock" BBC, and you may guess I've got the reaction "OMG WTF SHOKED SHOKED WHAA TEUfFELEI DIABLERIE DIAVOLERIA DAMN IT TO THE HELL". But, yes, I liked the episode, and the whole season was interesting for me (especially drunk Sherlock), though many people wouldn't agree with me.

Surprisingly all day long I've been filling like listening to "Roar" by Katy Perry (though I don't like the song much), so this sing will be TSOTD sure enough.

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Get ready 'cause I’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Now I’m floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (HEY!)

Get ready ’cause I’ve had enough

I see it all, I see it now

[Chorus]

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You'll hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You're gonna hear me roar...

Ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar, ro-oar

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

‘Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You'll hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You're gonna hear me roar...

~Be brave and roar!~

Olympian Gods

Here it comes, the third academic term. But I didn't go to school, because I participated in the regional stage of English Olympiad. But today was the first part: Listening & Reading, Grammar & Use Of English and Writing. And frankly I know that I failed somewhere, but I hope that I'm not that bad aaand, at least, I'd never participated in the regional stage of English Olympiad. My school teachers are really proud of me. Later I'll also take part in the regional stage of history Olympiad, but I have NO IDEA how I've managed to get there. I seem to know history with the strategy 'memorize-answer-forget'. Actually, I had the whole vacations and still have about a week to get prepared, buuuuut I am who I am and it's so unlikely for me to read anything so damn boring. I'd rather learn some stuff with "Civilization" and CGP Grey, but unfortunately they have nothing about Russian history.
Today Russia, Belarus, uncertain Ukraine, even Macedonia and some other countries celebrate so-called Old New Year. You see, long long time ago the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic officially adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1918, the Russian Orthodox Church continued to use the Julian calendar. The New Year became a holiday which is celebrated by both calendars (thanks to Wikipedia). Even our main chiming clock striking the midnight is shown on TV, but without the President's speech. My mom has her special festive mood this day, dad and I notice "Oh, it's Old New Year!", and I guess we don't do anything extraordinary. And this year isn't an exclusion, right now we're watching a New Year episode of one singing TV programme.
Our class has got a couple of new pupils. One of them is a boy just from a parallel class, and I know him pretty well. And another student is a girl even from another city, so she's a new girl for everything in our 'big city life'. Unfortunately I haven't met her yet due to me Olympiad. But they say she's pretty nice and clever. So, that's awesome! But there must a serious reason to change cities and schools just several months before the exams.
Oh man, wish me luck - tomorrow I'll have to make a monologue-dialogue for the 2nd part of the English Olympiad. And now I say goodbye leaving you with the song of the day - "Leaving Tonight" by "The Neighbourhood".

You fooled me from the start,

When you let me start to love you,

It's like a bunch of broken picture frames,

But

The photo still remains, the same,

I thought it'd be easy to run,

But my legs are broken.

All alone,

All we know,

Is haunting me,

Making it harder to breathe.

I'm leaving tonight,

I'm leaving tonight,

I'm leaving tonight,

I'm leaving tonight,

I'm leaving tonight,

I'll be gone in the morning.

I saw it from a far,

But my eyes have always fooled me

It looked to me like all the sidewalks started walking.

I swear to God the voices wouldn't shut up,

I figured it all to be love,

But this isn't lovely.

Be brave, be lovely

Chatting Over Tea

Lazy crazy days... I've realized that since Monday I've been waking up with my alarm clock, so that means my days aren't so lazy, I have plans.

Off We Christmas

If you keep on reading my super-duper blog, you must know that today, the 7th of January, is the Orthodox Christmas. And, unfortunately or not, I don't Christmas hard as I actually could. I don't even plan for having a walk today, but who knows, my day has only started (for the record, I'm typing it on 5:46 p.m.).

Wasted Or Not?

Okay, it's the middle of my winter vacation, and what does it mean? Every day I sleep till it's lunch time or even later, I've gone for a walk only once (not counting the 1st of January), I don't study anyhow for my tutors and school. I watch old and new episodes of "Sherlock" BBC being shown by our central TV channel. BTW, the 1st episode of the 3rd season is just madness. Madness, mixed with drugs and the fandom's wishes.

Sister And I

On the 4rth day of New Year I... broke up with my elder sister. It seems to be a silly story, but that is it.

Start Of Something Incredible

And here it starts - 2014! Send a wish upon a star, and it'll come true certainly!

My family. New Year edition

Of course, I was listening to the chiming clock announcing the New Year with my family. We had fun taking photos. The most hilarious part was when my dad tried to take a photo of us with my elder sister's tablet.
After the midnight of the new year some of my friends and I gathered together and went for a walk as we had done a year before, but there were only 6 people! So we went to the main New Year's trees of our city and came back to the place of the meeting.

Our little company with me taking the photo

The boys suck, but Dasha and I look so pretty,
don't we?

We walked till 3 a.m., and then the boys went somewhere-I-didn't-give-a-shit ('cause it was without us), and we, girls, went to Dasha's yard to go on having fun. I stayed at Dasha's place for the whole night (and morning, all in all - till 4 p.m.), and my friend and I drank enough not to remember all the jokes we made. Moreover, we tried watching "Magic Mike", but it fell though. LOL

On my way home I took a video about snow, because Denis from LA had asked me to - they have only rains there, whereas here we have a freaking lot of snow. BTW, here's the link, if you know Russian.
And if you guess my 1st of January finished with making that video, you lose. Only having come home, I was called by my class teacher asking:
- Where are you?
- I'm home.
- What are you doing there?
- Me? At home? Well... I've just come from Dasha...
- Really? So, ring round everyone, and I'll wait you all at "Cherry Bar" on 5 p.m., everything's ordered.
- But how? In one hour? Why didn't you call even later??
- Oh yeah, I could ring you up in 30 minutes before the meeting.
So I called my friends, went ran to Dasha again, and together we took a taxi to the bar. I was called again and again by my friends wondering WTF was happening, but even I hardly had an idea. When Dasha and I finally got to the bar, we had to wait for a pretty long time until firstly the friends, I called to, came, and even later my class teacher, some our friends and some parents of them got to the place too. There we mostly sang various songs, ate a little bit, those, who wanted, drank. Generally, it was a nice party, so homey and cozy.
And only after that I finally got home, made my snow video and sort out my New Year's gifts. Dasha granted me a cool mag looking like a Canon lens and "ARTPOP" album by Lady Gaga. Woo-hooo!

My girls presented my some festive souvenirs - always a safe bet. Also I got a present from Ilya, which is pretty strange for a girl. It is a PC game "Empire: Total War". I immediately installed it in the evening on coming home. Having been brought up with "Civilization V", I only get used to "Total War" world, even though I've already tried "Napoleon: Total War" out.

Installing "Empire..." made me come back to Steam. Of course, I used it when I played "Civilization" during summer 2012, but then I put it off and forgot my password. I tried hard to recalled it or restore my account anyhow, but after all my efforts I gave up and said goodbye to my "Civilization" and all money I'd paid for that. But only today, if I've got a new account, I've bought "Civilization V" again (online now, with a cool reduction - thanks to this festive season), with all additions I'd had that time. And right now it's downloading YYYAAAAASSS!!! *O* [Yup, I love strategies]

And noooow I'm ready to watch new season of SHERLOCK! YAS AGAIN! The premier here is a bit later that in London or in Europe part of Russia, but here I go - watching one of the coolest series of our time.
