Did you know that "koshmar" means "nightmare" in some Slavic languages?

I did thanks. I know it from Russian but unfortunately
a) The cyrillic alphabet is pretty tricky on an English keyboard
and
b) More importantly, my Russian is *so* rusty that I probably couldn't remember the correct letters anyway.
You've got quite an original name yourself. Any particular reason why you call yourself that? I've read your home page and it seems an unusual name for a 23 year old woman?
Although you do explain that you're not normal so maybe I should leave it at that

The Truth about choosing my nickname:
When I first started browsing the Internet, I found it really hard to find original user-names. I didn't want to be called Andromeda_342 or something like that. So I realised that the names from Croatian fairy tales are definitely totally unknown to most of the people on the net. And I especially like "Lutonjica" because in my langugage this word is a deminutive nad it sounds very playful, cheerful and childish.And that's me!

I'm waiting with baited breath for you to write an entry about Lutonjica because I've tried to look it up and nowhere on the Net mentions it except for a few sites in a language other than English (I'm guessing that it's Croatian) and unfortunately my Croatian isn't up to the challenge (in fact it's completely lacking).

School. It's fairly rare for English schools to offer it but mine did and we since got to go on an exchange I thought it sounded like a great idea. I got to go to Moscow which was great and it's always good for giving people something to talk about when they see your CV
Unfortunately I wasn't really very good and I'm forgetting it fast. I only use it nowadays when I'm really drunk (when I'm only a bit drunk I speak French instead - I dunno why). I tried a course at University in Russian but it was pretty rubbish so I gave it up. I'd really like to improve my Russian but I'm not sure how.
I spotted that you had a test a couple of days ago. How did it go?

I've just had a look at your home page and seen that your exam was on Hobbes. What subject are you doing? All I know about Hobbes is that there is a very good cartoon series called 'Calvin & Hobbes'.

All I can tell you about Hobbes is really boring..He was a 17th century's philosopher and sociologist..He was the one who said "homo homini lupus" ( I don't know how to translate it to English: Man to a man is a wolf? Man is a wolf to another man?)..He thought all men are evil and agressive and that it's a normal part of human nature to kill other men and steal from them...Quite a pessimist, ha?

Sounds like it must have been a really bad exam if that's all you know about the guy the exam was about

lol...I got an A in the exam, but I thought it would be too boring for you if I wrote you about it...
