About Me

A not-so-subliminal message: Access Zero :)
OK... I am me... a Russian-born, New York-raised, Arizonian... I love music (mainly EBM, industrial, synthpop, 80s and classical... oh, and europop of the 80s!!!)... I love food (sushi, veggies, fruits - yum!)... I love to travel (don't get me started here, my screensaver is set up so that there is a constant flow of photos from European cities, just streets, buildings, people)... I love to read (although there has not been much time in the past 3 or so years) (no romance books, please)... I love ambition, although the girl needs her spare time too to just slump down on the couch and watch some HD Discovery channel... I love animals (except for my cat, she is EVIL! Her name is Shady...)...
I absolutely love my dog, she is the cutest pup around and her latest nickname is Sweechie (which is a hybrid on Sweet Meichie (Meichie is her name))... she is also known as "Poochie Mama" (because she struts her stuff), a "licky dog" (she licks... um... hands and faces...), a "hvostik" - which is Russian for little tail, or someone constantly tailing you... "Michna Dogna" (have no idea where this came from), and "Komichi wa" (which is almost like "Konichi wa" - "hello" in Japanese) - this name was coined by I believe Dave Strand ... I am sure there are other names for her out there that I simply forgot to mention...
My biggest passion is music and (if you do not know us yet) I would like to introduce you to my band Access Zero (and here is a link to Access Zero on MySpace ). Check us out and leave us your thoughts about the musik! We always look forward to your input :)
I love my friends and family... Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by the best of the best!!! Due to my busy life I do not get to see anyone much, but I still love them :)
I love dancing and/or socializing at the clubs... If you live in AZ or happen to be in the Phoenix area, you have to check out Area 51 (Fridays at Anderson's in Scottsdale), Club Rumourz (Mondays at Homme Lounge), and if you feel like taking a drive, club Asylum in Tucson rocks (especially on Saturdays)!!!
I drive a 2001 Nissan Altima, and I believe it's human (I must be somewhat of a Shintoist ... I dream in color every night... I constantly daydream... I am planning on becoming an attorney and a rockstar (both at the same time)... I want to clone Meichie by saving some of her blood until dog-cloning is legal... I want all my friends and family to remember that even when I am not keeping in touch, I think of them quite often... I want to travel the world... I hate stupid people... I love when people talk a lot (because I am quiet)... I get really annoyed when my computer malfunctions... but I am generally a happy person with a weird sense of humor sometimes... I think it's a Russian thing... our "humor" brain cells must be a different shape than most other people's cells... if there is such thing as a humor brain cell, lol...Ok... well... if you are still reading this, thank you for sticking by :) It was a lot to read... sorry... and now it's time for my dinner... here I come, Shady-kat!!!

My Interests

Music... I am becoming MORE versatile in my music preferences than before!!!... My favourite is EBM/industrial (and genres that would fit similar description), perhaps my second favourite is classical (my favourite composers are Bach and Beethoven), and eighties (pop, etc.)... second favorite too... ahem... and about everything else out there... I'll give it a chance! Art: I love art: paintings, sculptures, installations, etc. The darker the better, but frankly I love all art. Every time I look at a piece of art, I try to find its meaning, but unfortunately it's an impossible task... Architecture: I love old buildings... REALLY old ones. European... Perhaps my favourite cities would be Paris and a city that I visited recently: Utrecht (Netherlands). I also love Berlin, but mainly for its communist buildings (I am from Russia, and when I was in Berlin, I felt very much at home) =) I also love my ex-home city: St.-Petersburg, Russia... It's called "Northern Venice" because it has tons of canals and bridges and pretty Italian and French buildings. Travel: I love going to Europe, there is still so much to see, but hopefully my next travels would be to Italy, Spain, and Greece...

I'd like to meet:

People with similar interests as me, friends, acquaintances, everyone...

Movies:

The darker the better, the weirder the better... you get the picture... also comedies!!! But my favourite is... OK, this is really cheesy, and not dark at all... in fact not even weird, but I love this movie "Summer Lovers" (ok, I am really ashamed now)...

Television:

I don't really watch television, but I love CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) and I love medical shows... such as House :) or "Untold Stories of ER" or... you get the picture...

Books:

All Dan Brown - all the time!!!

Heroes:

Everyone is a hero in one way or another, some more and some less, but I always learn at least a bit from each person I meet (granted we get to spend more than 10 minutes together)...
