I do have many nicknames – if what the others in the halls call me are nicknames. I appreciate by first name, Ivan. It is what I am most comfortable hearing... But I have a pet peeve for mispronunciation... It is “Ee-Vahn” not “Eye-Vin.” You got that now, da? It would be best if you stick with what I like best.

I HAVE TO ASK: MALE, FEMALE, OR SOMETHING IN BETWEEN?
I am most certainly male... If you hear anyone saying otherwise, let us make sure they get some KOL in their stocking this Christmas.

GOOD, I WAS STARTING TO WORRY. NOW, HOW OLD ARE YOU EXACTLY?
I am 23 years old... On December 30th I will be 24. I don't plan to spend my birthday in any special way... Quiet, with some vodka~ Of course, everyone is welcome to join... I will send out an invitation to all... Everyone will be having so much fun they won't realize I have locked the doors... No one will find any exits... I will take my pipe and with fear in the eyes of everyone around me I wi -- ...Oh, I am a Capricorn!

WELL, YOU LOOK YOUNG FOR YOUR AGE. HOW DO YOU STAY IN SHAPE?
Vodka. It keeps me happy. Vodka and beets. I love my home country, and I stick with tradition often -- favourite food of mine being borscht (a beet soup). I get my exercise ice skating; hockey can be fun. Very good to take out your anger.

I WOULD NEVER HAVE CONSIDERED THAT GEORGE CLOONEY MIGHT BE GAY. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
That is this famous Western actor, da?

I can say I find myself watching everybody. I like the differences between them. The males and the females - but I identify with males better... I can't say I have had many experiences with either to know very well, though.

WELL THEN, WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
Explore sunflower fields, people watch, drink up my happiness, host people... Although no one tends to stop by. I must be doing something wrong.


DON'T WORRY, THIS IS ALL CONFIDENTIAL. GO AHEAD, TELL US WHAT YOU ENJOY.
Sunflowers, Vodka, the company of others and that funny look on their face when I know they're uncomfortable... and Yao. I like him.

WHAT ABOUT SOMETHING THAT GETS ON YOUR NERVES?
My own personality irks me to no end, but I deal with it enough...

I'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT. SO, ARE YOU GOOD AT ANYTHING?
Da! I am good at many things... You would be hard-pressed to find something I'm not willing to improve on and perfect. I am a hard worker, I will do anything for people who like me. I am also very good at ice skating and drinking Vodka... and watching the others... But not all at once.

THAT'S INTERESTING, NOW WHAT ARE YOU NOT SO GOOD AT?
I am not so good at keeping myself calm at times. I find I am quick to anger, but this can be fun sometimes – if not just for me.

I BET I CAN BEAT YOU IN A THUMB WRESTLE AND HOLD MY BREATHE LONGER THAN YOU AT THE SAME TIME.
Aha! I bet I can break that thumb first, da? And how about you don't threaten me, lest you hold your breath long enough you keel over dead.

YOU MUST THINK I'M CRAZY. OH WELL, SAY, WHAT KIND OF QUALITIES DO YOU LIKE IN A SPOUSE?
You must think I'M crazy...

Ah. Somebody who doesn't mind my constant mood swings, or, can control them better than I can.


OH, I GUESS I'M NOT YOUR TYPE THEN, EH? WELL, WHAT DO YOU FIND UNATTRACTIVE IN A PERSON?
Too much self pride. Everyone has room for improvements; we are all somehow broken and must be fixed.

FINE, BE LIKE THAT. I DON'T LIKE YOU ANYWAYS.
I hope that someday we may both be... friends. Da? I know you would like this... You won't like the other option as much.

OK, WE'RE GONNA PLAY A GAME. I'M GOING TO ASK SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS, AND YOUR GOING TO SAY THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND, OK?
Da~ /nods/ Sounds fine... Then maybe sometime you will answer to me too?

FAVORITE FOOD?
Vodka. It counts... You consume it, it is food...

FAVORITE SUBJECT?
Floriculture ... and Human Psychology.

FAVORITE HOLIDAY AND SEASON?
I enjoy the summer. I am not fond of the cold – I got so sick of it in Russia! The summer is warm. I can grow my sunflowers, and enjoy cool vodka on ice in the yard.

FAVORITE WORD?
Observation.

FAVORITE TIME OF DAY?
After 11 o'clock pm and on~ I am a night owl.

FAVORITE COLOR?
Deep. Crimson. Red.

WELL, WASN'T THAT FUN? ON TO THE SERIOUS SHIT. TELL ME A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF.
Troubled. To be honest, I do not know who I am sometimes. It is like another person is living up inside my head sometimes, telling me what to do. Don't let that startle you away though, please. When I am feeling happy I can be loyal, childishly fun (if not a little immature sometimes), and a good host.


MHMM, AND WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?
I don't know my parents. They passed away when I was very young, leaving me in the company of my older sister. Unfortunately, we drifted apart as the years went by. There... is another sister as well. We... We do not get along. End of that story.


VERY INTERESTING. SO HOW DID YOU END UP IN THIS COLLEGE?
I was born and raised in Russia. I suppose I found this school online as a way to escape to a country with more opportunities. Don't get me wrong, I am a proud Russian, and love my Motherland very much, but I enjoy the Western lifestyle... I looked for schools in the United States to get to know that feeling better.

AWESOME. WHAT SORT OF CAREER WILL YOU GO INTO THEN?
I am hoping to make a living out of Psychological Studies... I could use my own experiences to write about. Hopefully to better understand why it is we go through these things as human beings -- if not to better understand myself.

...That or I'll have a sunflower farm. Maybe both.

OMGWTFBBQ?!? WELL, LOOK AT THAT. I'VE NEVER SEEN A GENIE ACTUALLY COME OUT OF THE BOTTLE. WHAT ARE YOUR THREE WISHES?
I wish for him. I wish for the Winter to never come again. I wish for a constant happiness - not something bottled all the time. /eyes vodka/


WOW, WASN'T THAT FASCINATING?
Not as fascinating as him...


SO, YOU, UH, WITH ANYBODY AT THE PRESENT MOMENT?
No... Although clearly I am interested in one.

WELL, YOU WANNA GO OUT SOME TIME? WHERE CAN I TAKE YA?
I... guess since I am not seeing anyone officially it couldn't hurt? ...Would you mind taking me to your favourite bar? I must sample the vodka... See which bar has the best in town.

HEY, IF YOUR NOT BUSY FRIDAY...WANNA GO OUT?
/checks calender/ ...Free as always. Would you like to meet up at mine?

ALRIGHT, WHATEVER/COOL. THIS INTERVIEW IS COMING TO AN END. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL US?
Study. Water plants. Find Yao... Drink Vodka. Water Yao... Drink plants... Vodka Study... ?


THIS FAKE INTERVIEWER DUDE GUY WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
So much for Vodka night, I suppose... I'll just dump this borscht down the drain...

ELLE has been trying to escape this doggone planet for JUST ABOUT NINETEEN years, but they've found themselves stuck in the vortex of role playing for NINE years. too bad. we could have busted them out if they didn't live all the way in the EASTERN (ET) timezone. you can always reach them at [e-mail] or ON HERE!.

ok, well, i'll just take your paperwork and be going:

Today was like yesterday. Tomorrow will be the same. And the next day? He will spend it much like the one before. Ivan consumed most of his time observing the others around him. He liked to study them. Enjoyed looking at their every movement. He enjoyed how they all spoke differently, some sounded smooth, some sounded rough – some sad, some happy. He could read the lines on someone's expression like the lines in his textbook. Constantly looking. Never stopping until he got every tiny movement memorized to keep to himself. Little secrets – no one would know he analyzed them that thoroughly. The beauty of someone different ever so intriguing.

There is one, however, that he watched with different eyes. He was beautiful. Small and feminine in appearance, yet fierce and strong of mind. His expression bore that of a man much older than he. Ivan liked this. He was unlike anyone else. He never changed. He could enjoy him from a distance, yet never feel the need he was ever-changing like the others.

The courage to speak was there. Sometimes Ivan took that too far. If he didn't like something, he would make this clear. Violence. Hateful words...

... But with this one, it never came out right. He wasn't sure why. Perhaps his never changing demeanor. So hard to read something new with each passing glance.

Yes. Yao was difficult. But somewhere Ivan knew he could crack him...
