I have always wanted to do everything in journalism: from small emotional essays to big analytical texts. That is the main reason I am involved into news nowadays. I just wanted to operate highly effectively in this sphere. As for occupations I have never aimed at anything but journalism.

I am definitely a hockey addict. It is my grandfather who taught me both to watch the play and to root for the thing. I am not sure whether I would have been a hockey fan nowadays if I had been shown, let’s say, curling then. I have been expecting our national team’s victory and here it is, two times running! The thing took me 15 years. This is my love of a lifetime.

I love all the things that I can enjoy touching, you can’t even imagine what kind of feeling I get. Even when a child in a crowded bus I always caught the opportunity to touch strangers’ clothes (laughing).

I get irritated with other people being incapable to assume my point of view. I don’t expect them to take it as the ultimate truth, but as a prospective answer to a certain issue. I admit that I can blatter at times but in case the debate does not aim at proving anything to anybody and it’s all for the sake of opinions exchange, I can get highly mad about such people.

I believe that a woman should not lose her temper. She is to do everything to narrow the situation down: I mean she can cry a bit and even get mad, but people around are not supposed to see the scene.

Accumulating everything in a system is my hobby. Once I get interested in something, whatever the sphere is, I am urged to know every other thing in this direction, it’s like I need a complete set of knowledge.

I associate myself with Sullivan from “Monsters, Inc.” cartoon. He is huge, fluffy and so vulnerable. Well, I am on the contrary so little, but people tend to thinks I am a dinosaur, it’s like I can bear anything. This is far from being real.

I was the first to write the word “ass” in a title within the whole record of Lenta.ru. Moreover I went by the rules, when I used the word as a sentence entity and not as an emotional expression of some situation.

At the moment the tattoo specialist touched me with his needle, I realized aware that I would come back to make another tattoo. What really matters here is proper “dosage” and rather than stopping in the right time. Now I’ve got six tattoos, each of them standing for some particular life situation, which demanded to be reflected on my body. You know, a tattoo can be compared to sex, when you get tired you feel like: “When will it all be over!” Once it’s over you regret that it’s finished that quickly (laughing).

I love the way people smell, well, not all people, of course. It really does matter for me. In case I happen to forget the way one of my close people smells I push the panic button.

I collect owls figurines, people bring them from different corners of the world. There remains one thing to do — to win the cut-lass owl from “What? Where? When?” and then I will have my collection completed (laughing).

I get irritated when people, who have tried nothing in sex reckon that they are satisfied with classic poses. How can that be, if they have never tried to make it differently? They have nothing to compare to!

I am indifferent to same-sex marriages. I don’t care with whom and how you do it. You may live in eight and enjoy the thing. What is really important is that people are happy and don’t brainwash others.
