We don't need whys, but here are some reasons why you should.



I remember it was not so cold anymore and we were having this constant Kafeinya pizza mood, and there we were, ordering another one, dear Andrushka just smiled at us. I was waiting for Tati, Syd and Valya, the girl that just travelled to Portugal, I was to teach her some portuguese before I came back home. I had so much fun with that, I'm so proud of this language, it's sweet, soft, and seems to just play along. And winter just ended. So what now? We had gone crazy indeed. How crazier can we get. So there we were, Tati and Syd eating a pizza while I read some Camões to Valya, speaking one portuguese, the sound of it, was already so awakward, I should probably call Sophia and share that horrible feeling. Where did my mother language go? And doesn't Camões sound the same? But as I said, how crazier could we get. Camões left the room. Me, Tati and Syd started to make a list. Actually, we met just to do that. And I'm so proud of this. The list goes.

(It starts at 51 because the "Reasons to have sex" group on facebook had already listed 50).

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE SEX

51 - Because he's wearing the tight underwear you gave him.

52 - Because you just bought matrioshka underwear.

53 - Because it's goddam fuckin -30 outside.

54 - Because you're drunk and don't respond for your acts.

55 - Because he has a foreign accent.

56 - Because he's going to the army and leaving the country.

57 - Because you don't want to learn [the russian gramatical] cases.

58 - Because it's [blank] holiday.

59 - Because you finished your sudoku book.

60 - Because you're and atheist and god is not watching you.

61 - Because he's related to Price Harry in 15th degree.


62 - Because it's 3am and you want a cup of water.

63 - Because you're pregnant and you can't get more pregnant.

64 - Because you found the perfect sofa after shopping for sex-favorable sofas.

65 - Because it prevents cancer (what? что за бред?)

66 - Because he gave up being a priest (Thank you, Lord!)

67 - Why not?-feelings

68 - Because you finally found two people that agree.

69 - Because you lived in Kirov and you're in MOSCOW.

70 - Because it's finally spring. And it's APRIL. (You've been waiting since Maslenitsa in February)

71 - Because you finally had the guts to kill the fuckin' cats but it's going to the dacha anyway.

72 - Because you're почему-то covered in shampoo and now you're making out.

73 - Because he's not a rapper (a rapist, smart-o)
Even tho the word rapper is scratched we actually met a russian rapper so yeah. Maybe it shouldn't be scratched at all). And we actually though rapper standed for rappist before Syd arrive - she's american, or as we used to say, ALASKIAN.

74 - Because that random guy had three condoms and there's an empty приезд [stairway]

75 - Because you desesperately want to use the instrumental языком [with tongue]

In russian there are gramatical cases that decline the word. The nominative word of "tongue", without declination, is "yazik", but if ou use the instrumental case, that is needed when you use something to complete and action, the it is "yazikom". We had "yazikom" in my first russian-english phrasebook in the sex part. There was a lot of respect going on for that little book for travelers. This is actually how much you can respect a phrasebook

76 - Because it's made for sharing.

77 - Because Angelina Jolie adopted another kid.

78 - Beucause you found two, and plus you, it's a three-some.

79 - Because they just started making out on TV.

80 - Because his name is not Manfred (in german) or Evilásio (in portuguese)

81 - Because you're coming home after a long time and he said he's gonna tune your guitar, and you really don't care if it's a |G| or a |D|.

82 - Because they're TWINS. Sophia quote: "I've always wanted twins. [pause] Not kids."

83 - Because his dad is hot and he's halfway through.

84 - Because this is how we roll in The Shire.


85 - Because he's in rumspringa.

86 - Because you just witnessed FIVE weddings in Aleksandrovskiy Park and really need to have some imoral sex out of wedlock.

87 - Because he can make sushi (tell Isabela's twin brother priviet)

88 - Because you have [blank] and you're not afraid to use it.

89 - Because you want a place in hell to be reserved for you.

90 - Because he's not wearing a belt.

91 - Because he speaks welsh and raises sheeps.

92 - Because he's not a rapper

Obviously the russian rapper episode didn't go so well and ended awakwardly

93 - Because he started being an orthodox priest.

94 - Because he's a russian that doesn't smoke.

95 - Because he can toss a pizza.

Tati, did I ever mention your weird english vocabulary for a german?

96 - Because he has more than five piercings. And you just decided you like the number five.

97 - Because even tho he isn't russian he always knows the genitive case plural for substantives

More russian grammar involved. You don't want to know about that, it's been known to drive russian learners to deep depression.

98 - Because he wears a turtle neck (but isn't gay)

99 - Because he's a russian sailor.

100 - Because what happens in Russia, stays in Russia. In Russian.



And must I end it, saying: Because someone's gotta be the man. And yes, girls are mean. And we like it.

Last Quote: "I'm doing this AFS presentation and I'm having a hard time finding sober pictures!", Tati

I miss the german part of me.

Três detetives e nenhuma solução para a vida

A Tv da cozinha está ligada e eu não sei exatamente com que propósito. Há poucas coisas piores que tv brasileira, e é a russa. Absolutamente nada é legendado, tudo é dublado com um monotom que segue por suas duas horas de filme. Às vezes é só um homem dublando todos mudando a entonação da voz (sim, isso existe). Então eu não sei por que exatamente eu preciso dessa Tv ligada, mas talvez seja pela graça da companhia. São 9 da noite de um feriado que eu não entendo completamente o significado, hoje não tive aula e acordei cedo para estudar. Próxima semana tenho deus sabe lá quantas provas, tudo que eu sei é que minha agenda está cheia de anotações como uma pessoa louca. Nunca fui uma pessoa de reclamar infinitamente e me enterrar nessa conformidade de cara feia, o problema é que eu sei que sou perfeitamente capaz de encarar isso tudo, mas com esse inverno que vem batendo a minha porta o level de dificuldade sobe, a vontade de viver cái. Meus dias não têm sido tão ruins. Na verdade quando ...

Uma linha reta é um zigue-zague.

Eles dizem que de um ponto podem partir infinitas retas. Em teoria, é pura geometria. Na Rússia a teoria é posta em prática de um jeito que bota a paciência de dezenas de pessoas numa panela de pressão até que a panela exploda, a dona de casa contraia uma queimadura facial e paramédicos na ambulância passem a dizer que os médicos que vão tratá-la são os melhores quando eles realmente não sabem se há ali dano em algum nervo facial. Em outras palavras: caos. Então eu estou sentada em um corredor esperando para tirar uma raio-x de check-up. Há como que três pessoas na minha frente e eu simplesmente sento lá e penso, bem, a partir do ponto que todas elas forem, eu entro, é matemática simples. Chegam mais pessoas. Eu sento, espero, me sinto ansiosa e inútil, com a única expectativa que uma pequena porção de radiação passe, por favor, pelos meu tórax neste confuso dia de primavera (o episódio se passou em meados de Abril). O resto do meu dia não estava planejado, eu acordara apenas pela pequ...

As minhas gramas são mais verdes

Fazia dois meses que eu estava na Rússia e tudo e todos ainda eram ETs se aproximando por um contato de quarto grau. Eu poderia divagar sobre a sensação de ser uma expatriada, mas seria tão inútil como descrever o gosto de chocolate, com tantos sentidos envolvidos. E lá eu estava, na frente de toda a escola recitando um poema no Dia dos Professores, que é realmente importante na Rússia. Eles podem até não ganhar bem, mas o respeito que recebem dos alunos é infinitamente maior que no Brasil. Dirigir-se a eles apenas levantando a mão, e pelo nome e patronímio (o segundo nome de todo russo: nome do pai + sufixo OVA ou VICH se, respectivamente, você for mulher ou homem). Os alunos haviam preparado um verdadeiro espetáculo, a platéia era pequena: apenas a equipe de professores, e o backstage se apertava com todos os alunos da escola. No dia anterior eu havia passado cinco horas andando em círculos aprendendo um poema que recito até sob remédio de dormir, ainda hoje em dia. Skol'ko vesen...
