I’d really interested in learning more about growing up in a closed city, or prehaps experiences of your older family members.

Hey Xenia. What do you mean by discrimination at school? How were you different and why were you targeted?

As a high functioning autistic person I can relate. I think differently then other people because instead of feeling intimidated by other people’s unique talents I instead become fascinated with them. I ask people who are smart a lot of questions and how they learn. I take the time to listen to people who can sing and play instruments. I stop to stare at shiny Xenia cause shes amazingly gifted.

Oh and look bitches its baby Xenia!!!!!

I second both Eyeliah and Bonie’s posts. I can’t believe you once lived in a shelter. You should be really proud of how far you’ve come! I always pictured you coming from an upper middle class or slightly rich family. I never was homeless but was poor since birth, I suppose there is hope for me yet!

I was shocked to learn about the closed cities. Not that I think everywhere is like America , i just suppose some days you think you’ve heard it all! LOL. The idea makes me a bit claustrophobic but i suppose it must have its perks. I doubt it’d be easy to kidnap someone and leave town. It’s quite a beautiful place.

I’m so glad someone asked about your ethnicity because i didn’t have a chance. Years ago my friend said she read on your (old) blog that you had some Mongolian or something in you and that you weren’t completely Russian ethnically. I really want to know more about the Udmurts, i think I’ll do some research. Since i am an Irish/scottish (+4 more ethnicity’s)redhead and am also obsessed with the Russian language it really intrigues me.
The friend thing you said really hit a nerve! I suppose i need Russian friends. Here people will spend years as your friend and then decide to become their favourite celebrity and ditch you because they lost weight and you didn’t or because they like one of your friends better than you and replace you altogether. I’ve lost friends from everything from losing them to an abusive boyfriend or me refusing to hate myself for being white and worship Native Americans (literally! I’m not exaggerating it REALLY HAPPENED!)
Oh and I’ve heard your Myspace greeting and you DO have quite a bit of a Russian accent =) Oh and You’re very cute in your picture when you were 15. I do find it odd though how old fashioned your clothes were in the family photo.
Anyway, Thanks for all this sorry for writing so much.
