I was born and spent the first 14 years of my life in Siberia, but complain whenever the temperature drops below 60F (15C for cool people :) ).

I'm a Socialist who doesn't believe in gun control (now you've seen everything)

I graduated years ago, but still get "oh shit, the test is today and i'm completely not prepared" dreams

I heart Guinness and other dark beers, and i can quote entire Fight Club and Big Lebowski movies ( it will pay off someday, i just know it )

I heart to watch Hockey but still don't know the rules of American Football.

I'm obsessed with British Comedy TV, but still can't fake a good English accent.

I would trade food and shelter for a new edition of The Economist.

I would trade a new edition of The Economist for crepes, curry, empanadas, jello, blueberries and black raspberries ( not blackberries!!! )

I love scuba diving and exploring the ocean, but think surfing is a little bit too stressful.

I love to watch really really really BAD movies with my friends and make fun of them. My absolute favorites are: Hackers, Driven, Glitter, Gigli, Adventures of Pluto Nash and Red Heat.

I've visited 18 countries which apparently comes out to 8.33% of the countries in the world. But since both Russia and US make up 25% of the world's surface, i think i should start going to the biggest countries first to improve that score :) Canada, China and Brazil, i'm looking at you!!!

My goals this year are: Do more scuba diving, take more photography classes, take sailing lessons, take more survival classes, get better at archery, and bike to work most of the days.

It really doesn't matter as long as we get to blather.
