Rules for keeping a domestic poltergeist

Last time I showed you how to keep a domestic dragon. This time I want to talk about poltergeists.

As you all know, there are two types of poltergeist: wild poltergeists and tame poltergeists. Be careful! Don’t mix up one with the other! It’s really dangerous. Wild poltergeists are uncontrollable and perilous!

Tame poltergeists can be dangerous too, if they are unsupervised. So if you decide to keep it, you should train it, and pay much attention to its breeding.
A well-trained poltergeist is a good friend and a defender of your house. It is quiet, invisible and polite. You can leave it alone at home while you take a long trip, and be absolutely sure that nothing will happen with your house.
Poltergeists have a good health and usually they don't need special treatment.
There is only one bad thing about poltergeists: they don’t like pets or children, so if you decide to keep it, be sure there are no other animals around or disaster will happen!

A Letter

Dear Life,

I want to thank you for our great new play. As you know, it was the First Night yesterday. All was wonderful: audience, actors and dancers. It was a true miracle.
Actually, I was only the photographer yesterday, but I really had joy. I'm very glad to take part in such a lovely and awesome project. Also, I want to thank you, dear Life for the opportunity you gave me. I mean an opportunity to work and play with such excellent people. Oh, if you only knew how beautiful and handsome they are!
I hope you let me be in this theatre forever, dear Life, because I can hardly imagine something else. Of course it is obvious that we would have success - we worked hard and put our whole soul into this show. I know now that the greatest things in you are possible only with the greatest love. You made me know this thing, dear Life, and I'm really grateful for this. You also taught me that I have to love what I do. And I love it very much.
And, my dear Life, I love you too, you know. I hope we'll be together for a long time. You'll give me your wonderful presents, and I'll give you all my love in reward.

Very cordially yours,
Anna

Today is my birthday

So it's time to summarize the year.
This year I've visited Chelyabinsk, Ekaterunburg, Kazan, Maikop, Stavrapol. Have you ever been in Russia? It's so wonderful and exciting to drive across the endless road, especially if you know, that at the end of your journey, you'll see the sea. You'll see it the first time in your life. I think, it's really great.
I've found a new job, also.  My colleagues are great and wonderful too. For example, today my friend Natasha (her pen name is Shade) brought a cake, which she made yesterday by herself . I must say that it was a really tasty cake.
Actually I think that I'm lucky to have such people around me. My friends, mates, colleagues are so nice, kind and interesting people! My boyfriend always has some fairy tales to cheer me up when I feel sad.
And my dance classes, of course. This year I feel, that I have some experience, that I could do something special if I want. I feel that I have enough strength and practice to do something great.  I hope next year'll show us what exactly I can do.

But the greatest thing is that I'm only 22.  I know that it's a long life in a future full of interesting discoveries and full of wonderful moments. And let it be!


P.s. Thank you very much for all of you who sent greetings for me! It was very nice of you!
