hmm... that's a hard one, but here goes... basically I'm an internationalist, meaning that I didn't live in a country for long. By the the time I was 15 I lived in 3 countries. First, I was born in Ukraine, which was Soviet Union back then, and lived there till I was 7. It was probably the coolest time, ahhh the innocence and naivety of being 5 and defying nap time in kindergarden. When I was 7 my family moved to the U.S., so the first several years were just about learning the language so I wasn't social to many people. I couldn't really make close friend here either because we constanlty moved - we changed houses twice and lived in apartments three times and then moved to Massachussetts in the last years of the U.S. stay. I think by the time middle school it started to really suck and I didn't fit in much, although I wasn't particularly bullied by anyone, and even on occassions hung with so called-bullies. Grade-wise I was quite good - A's and whatever. But the last year in middle school sucked as badly - there was this one bitch in my German class that I could just kill, but that's another story for another time. I was hanging with a some outcasts - you know, the prozac, ADD, 'special school' types, which was pretty cool. Then I came to Enlgand at 15 and it blows shit badly, tried to friends but its even harder fitting in here than in U.S., - people are even more aware of their nationality here than in the U.S. But, shit, am I glad I missed the AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE, which would have been hell and I would have had to pull off a Columbine. So for now with the exception the guys I play in a band in I don't talk anyone else. I'm in my final year at Uni doing History and Politics.
