About Me

Days are passing and things are getting decided: I have a job, we found an apartment. Now I just need to get started, to get moved in, and to get a cat :)For details go to my blog attartara623.blogspot.com

My Interests

I love to travel, learn Russian, read, dance, listen to music, and watch films. I enjoy anything that will make me laugh :)

I'd like to meet:

Your Power Color Is Magenta
At Your Highest:

You energize yourself and push others to suceed.

At Your Lowest:

You feel frustrated and totally overwhelmed.

In Love:

You are suprised by who you attract. You're a love magnet.

How You're Attractive:

Open and free spirited, people want to explore the world with you.

Your Eternal Question:

"What is my next source of inspiration?" What's Your Power Color?

Music:

Russian pop, Arash, Black Eyed Peas, Oasis, Modest Mouse, Australian alternative, Gwen Stefani, Oldies, 80s music (the really corny stuff), Dido, Eminem, R & B. . . anything with a good beat. . .

Movies:

You Are Lightning
Beautiful yet dangerous
People will stop and watch you when you appear
Even though you're capable of random violence

You are best known for: your power

Your dominant state: performing What Type of Weather Are You?

Books:

I read about anything in English tossed my way. I'm still terrified of reading anything other than road signs, menus, and instructions in Russian. I'm sure I'm capable by now, but why risk failure :)

Coming home!

After a looooong time abroad, I'm finally coming home and I couldn't be more exited. For about a year and a half now I've had the "settling" instinct--create a home, get a job and be "stable" for a wh...

Myspace sucks

Or maybe I suck. Ever since I got to Budapest and realized there's wireless EVERYWHERE (even in my apartment. . a faint signal from somewhere--but it's free!), I have become a myspace whore. I s...

the weird world I live in

If you didn't notice the link on my comments, here's an odd website that, well, represents the strange-ness of Slavic politics. In what world would a president want to "touch a boy like a k...

And the paperwork goes on. . .

Yesterday I returned from a fun day and a half in Kyiv, getting the "Letter of Non-Impediment to Marriage" from the American Embassy and registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Sounds d...

The countdown begins

So I've been doing my best to begin wedding planning, seeing as though it's just under 2 months away. Weddings in Ukraine (like much in life) is a sort of last-second affair. You reserve your re...

It's gonna be a big year

I have some more good news to announce: Sasha and I are getting married in August! To many of you this is completely out of no where, but many also expected it. He actually proposed a few months ago, ...

Central European University

So, I finally got word on my grad school of choice yesterday, Central European University (In Budapest, Hungary). I was supposed to hear from them in April, so I had given up all hope. May...

A whole different world: Election 2006

So, for those of you who have either followed Ukrainian politics or my life, probably heard some stories about the "Orange Revolution" of 2004. Those who don't know anything, basically, when the Ukra...
