"Well, do you seriously think that this is a reason to interrupt me?" - his voice was perfectly calm, and there was no sign of pleasantness in his intonations.
"But, my Lord, he will arrive in few minutes, what could I do?!" - he tried to smile while his voice was trembling.
The Dark Lord took a deep breath and immediately replied: "I can't stand one thing: I'm the Darkest Lord of the World, but why, please tell me, why my servants can't deal with an assessor without my interference?! Every year the same situation: bills and taxes! Even here I have no rest at all! It's settled then, take my clothes and receive the guest. Now, you are the Dark Lord, and I'm leaving, I've had enough!!"

I fell down
Today I fell down and sprained my ankle again. When I was a child I used to sprain my ankles every other week because I have very elastic and soft muscles and ligaments.
The worst part is that I sprained it during our rehearsal, so I had to finish rehearsal with my sprained leg.. and of course hard shoes.. I learned a new hard-shoes number, so I have no time to recover. I just tied my ankle with an elastic bandage went back to dancing again..
And there is a performance on 15th October. And a ball on 16th. And a festival in Kazan on 2nd November. And a parody show on 9th. Oh, how I hate my body sometimes!
The only good thing is that tomorrow I have the day off from dance practice, so I have at least one day to recover.

Dancing. New timetable
It's horrible!
They've changed a lot of important things.
There is only an hour of Irish dancing, soft shoes, a week. And only an hour and a half of hard shoes a week. But that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is on Sundays. On Sundays we start dancing at 11.30 and finish at 6 p.m (not to mention rehearsals!)!
These are our classes on Sunday:
11.30 Classical (ballet)
13:00 – Folk dances
14:00 - Baroque
15:00 - Flamenco
16:30 – Hard shoes Irish
18:00 (The first year students, thank God it's not me)
19:00 - Rehearsal time
Oh, yes, I almost forgot. We have two days off a week, now on Monday and Friday. Good Lord, I don’t know how I can go through with this schedule.

Three things
There are three things which are the hardest to say: "I love you", "forgive me" and "I need your help". (c)
As for me, I have no trouble with the first and the second, but really never can say the third. Even if I need help. Even if I need it too much.
It used to be very difficult, but these days I have friends, who can help, even if I don't ask. So, I think friends are the people who always know when you need help. And I am usually not asked for help - I just help if I see that I can.
So, three ideas:
1. Friends are people who know when you need help and help you without asking stupid questions.
2. If you see someone in trouble and can help out - just do it, without thinking or asking for reward.
3. I should finally learn how to speak about my feelings and worries, at least with people who are close to me.

A modern women (something about my life particularly)
What a difficult work it is to be a woman in our days!
There is proverb which says that some women are created for love, and other women are created for work. I'm afraid that in my case the truth is the second variant. Every day I have my job and university. It's a necessary part of life as there is no life without education and no life without money, unfortunately. (I don't mean that money is the most important thing in life of course!)
Then I have something for my soul, it's dancing mainly and some other things like reading, knitting, guitar, writing, photography, fancywork and so on. To be truthful none of these things take a lot of my time except dancing. As for dance lessons, I have them every day; to be more precise, every evening.
And of course, such things as housework. Frankly speaking, I don't like it very much (and who does? :) ) but I don't like chaos at my place either. So I have no choice but to clean and wash all this.
Then there are my friends. I can't say that I have a lot of them, but all of them are trusted, and I really miss them when we have no opportunity to meet.
But the main idea is, that I can hardly imagine a man who could stand all this things about me :D
I mean the reverse of such life is my absolutely business and being dead tired in evenings. I understand all this, but I cannot find the thing I can live without. On the other hand, I feel that I cannot be alone any more either! I just don't know what can I do.

Feeling blue
I returned to Moscow a week ago, and I feel so tired these days. Cleaning, fixing computers and so on - all these things must be done, and I hardly can find time to sleep and eat during the day. I've found a new job, and of course I still have my dance-classes. Today at last I can have some rest, and I'm quite glad, but I understood, that I'm feeling blue and lonely, there is even nobody to speak to. I guess It's the reverse of being busy - all your friends find somebody to communicate while you have other things to do. There is the only one decision - to go to sleep, after I finish my embroidery for today..

What is the right way to live?
The only right way to live is your own. Do you agree?
In my case, it's the only truth. Everything you do in your life is right, even if it is a mistake. Your own mistake, you know, and it means that you have an experience which nobody else in the world has.
Your life is an extraordinary one. Nobody has ever had such a life, and nobody will ever have it.
This fact doesn't mean that you have to forget the experiences of previous generations, no. All that you read, listened to and learnt are your own knowledge, so you act as only you can act, and you will live as only you can.
Don't try to build your fortune like "that successful boy" or "that talented girl" , otherwise you will lose your way. I think that's the only thing worth regretting.

Well, in my opinion dancing is the only thing worth living for.
But, unfortunately I started to dance too late. I mean there are no professional dancers who started their trainings at their 20th.
Many people start dancing as a hobby at an older age than me, I know it. But, they never become professional. As for me, I want more.
To be objective: I can do the splits, I have good instep, turnout and ballet step (Heh, I don't know how does it called in English. I mean the ability to rise one's leg in the femoral joint) I really work hard. Every day I have a class or two. But, to become a dancer I have to work even harder, but I can't because I have no place and time. That's really sad.
If I could only have a chance to dance more...

What is Life?
"Life.. What is it?" Yenka asked.
Ukka closed her book unwillingly and said: "Well.. what do you usually do everyday?"
"Me? Well..actually I enjoy the sun, race with the neighbor's chicken, go to a river bank.." Yenka started to say, counting his fingers "And what?"
"And what does our mother do" Ukka seated herself more comfortably and faced her brother.
"She... well, she raises us, takes care for the house.. We help her. And there are heaps of many other things. For example she rejoices at our happiness.. But I still don't understand What is Life?" - Yenka said.
"Life is all those things put together!" - Ukka smiled brightly.
"I understand!" - Yenka said as his face lighted up with happiness. "But, tell you what.. "
Ukka started to say as she looked at him with interest
"Life isn't just all those things, you know, Life is the joy of doing "all these things"

Dreams about Ireland
I wanna live in Ireland.
Seriously.
But what can I do to get here? Well, actually I know English, but that's all.
Yes I can dance, fix computers, take photos, teach Russian, work in Photoshop and some other things. But all these things are not useful for immigration.
What about my family? I'm single and all my relatives live far away (I left home three or four years ago. Now I live in Moscow and my grandma lives in the Urals)
But seriously, since my childhood I've been crazy about Ireland. I came from the Urals to Moscow to be closer to Europe.
Irish dance, Irish legends, Irish books..
Well, I love Russia very much, I like it's wide streets and spacious squares. But Éire.. Éire is my only love)
The only thing I'd regret is.. leaving my friends. Obviously it's a serious enough reason to be here in Russia. On the other hand... Some of my friends live in different parts of Russia and we don't meet often. My Moscow friends.. well, they would be really sad, if.. no, when I leave the country..
