!!!
Please DO NOT use words like "lady", "mademoiselle", "madam", "my dear", "darling" and other variations thereof when addressing me, it is extremely unpleasant and I don't enjoy it in the slightest.
Stick to using MY NAME, if you feel the need to address me, my name is Ekaterina or Katya, or just skip that entirely, only saying "you" is completely fine.
!!!

CURRENT MISSION

To live my life and write about it.

Adore random facts

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I actually stick to ordinary stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can turn you into a master of yarn and crochet, spoil you with Russian swearwords, show you the most disgusting spam on the internet, tell you all you didn't want to know about brake pads and steering columns, teach you how to perform miracles with MS Paint and torture you with conditional sentences.

I welcome people who want to show me secret paths, teach me how to differentiate between a turtle and a tortoise, talk for hours about their favorite subject and torture me with conditional sentences.
