I'm Still a Rock Star

[ikyrian]

I've noticed that I've been more...upbeat lately. I smile more. I laugh more. I'm more creative. I don't tend to think "my life sucks" as much. (I'm actually at the "my life could be better, but right now it's not so bad" stage) I don't take things so seriously anymore. Nothing has really changed. I'm not entirely sure why that might be, but I'm just gonna roll with the punches. In fact, that's really what changed - I'm rolling with the punches much better than I used to. Finally, a light at the end of the tunnel.

I have two new friends on my friends list. I have no idea who they are. I have no idea why they added me. I can't actually read their journal entries. They both speak RUSSIAN. (Erm. I'm assuming it's Russian, I'm not actually sure.) In any case, I'm highly amused by this.

I'd put their entries through Babel-Fish but I really can't expend the effort.

I'm glad things are going a little better for you.

There's seems to be a lot of random friending by Russian journals going on lately.

Me too. I've been in the quagmire of "My life sucks" for so long that it's almost too bright on the bright side. I need my shades.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Russian take over of LJ?

There was a Russian takeover of LJ? We're being watched by the (real) KGB now??

I will perhaps and understand truth, but to the knowledge of the bliss of sincere to me still far. However, what to me to make? They will say: " study [delom]". By what? How to me to study? Perhaps to notify humanity about its melancholy, trying to present the new proofs of the sad nonentity of human life? Or to open any new, yet not the known thus far, dark sides of life? By these I could, perhaps, [styazhat] to itself the rare reward: to become famous, like the astronomer, who opened new spots on Jupiter. I prefer, however, to keep silent.

Ohhh yeah. IIRC, there was a big kerfuffle in fandom several months ago about it.

...while I get that Babelfish does not have the best accuracy...but it sounds like someone is trying too hard.

I've had two people who speak Russian who've friended me recently... and since they don't speak my language and I can't find anything we have in common...... no. O.o;
