Have you ever tried to write a short novel or an essay where the main character would be yourself? I don't mean an autobiography with the summary of general facts and data. I speak about a kind of composition on the subject "My life". It is obviously a complicated task however I have a great desire to tell the world about myself as the spring is coming and I am in a mood to fall in love with somebody. I long for a true feeling and want to share my cheerful disposition with someone who would become my special man. It would be such a close person that I would love him recklessly without having fears to show my feelings. He would be so"mine" that I would not have to conceal my sentiments. They say that we should not get attached to anything and anybody in this life as we may be"punished" for our love in the very unexpected moment when the whole world will collapse if someone or something disappears from our horizon. Alas, I am not able to be careful in the matter of feelings. If I happen to fall in love, I am in love over head and ears. And then I have to recover, to revive myself. Brief, I am a true Phoenix:-))).

Actually this mythological bird is a Russian lady named Elena. I was born on the 30th of September, so I am 35 and my Zodiac sign is Libra. I have all the merits and demerits of that sign although in general I am rather skeptical about horoscopes. My height is 163 cm, my weight is 53 kg. I have brown eyes and hair. I am a very lively and sociable person. I am divorced and have a daughter of 7 whom I love dearly. She is a smart and clever girl (she learnt how to read at the age of 3) and a little bit a philosopher. Sometimes it seems to me that she is wiser than myself.

We live in a magnificent city, Saint-Petersburg, I am fond of my city which is often called in Russia a Northern capital. I love our first capital Moscow as well because I used to be a student at the one of the best Russian technical University situated there. I got a rather exotic specialty - engineering of ultra low temperatures close to the absolute zero. Besides, in my student years I learnt not only to know about technical field, I became a theater lover (I used to see almost all repertoire of the most famous Moscow theaters). I understood a true meaning of the expression"luxury of communication". I used to associate with so many really talented and gifted people. It is in that period of life that I read heaps of books and reading is still a passion of mine. I am fond of classical literature, love reading memoirs and detective stories. Recently my daughter has begun to read me"Harry Potter" and this book was carrying us away to the point that we went to bed after midnight.

Unfortunately my engineering career lasted only for a year. Then we had in a Russia what we call"a perestrioka", the epoch of changes, when I had to look for a job that would help to survive. Now I work as a manager at a small CD production company. It is the branch of a German firm, so the qualities that characterize our stuff are responsibility, honesty, accuracy. In addition to it very often our clients are interesting and extraordinary people. In the performance of my duty I often come to our famous Mariinsky theater. Now I can say that I know classical music better than some years ago (although I used to be interested in it before). However from time to time I don't mind to go to the discos. I enjoy going to the museums and exhibitions.

Sometimes I think that I could be a good guide. No wonder. Our city is full of sights and I have a lot of friends living all over the country who like to come for a visit. Saint-Petersburg is a"dangerous" city. If you come here once, you, without any doubt, will be willing to visit it at least one more time. I enjoy traveling and I think I am not original at this hobby. I used to travel all over Russia, I went hiking in Caucasus and Carpates region. I love going to the sea, I love visiting foreign countries although for the moment"the geography" of my travels is not so wide. After traveling to Tunisia my daughter and I became interested in Africa.

In spite my love to trips I consider myself to be a homebody. I like my home very much, I think I managed to make it cozy and comfortable. I enjoy domestic chores such as cleaning and washing. I like cooking (but I am not a fanatic of the kitchen).

I am a happy person but woman's happiness can not be complete if she doesn't have her special man. I want to meet a man (35-47) who has a steady purpose to have a family and a home where he would be always glad to return. I am looking for a friend and lover for whom I would be number one, the best of the bests. I understand that all above may sound commonplace and such a wish is trivial. But I am a staunch believer that there is a man for me somewhere out there. Being a person with technical education and knowing about the theory of probability I understand that our world is made on such a way that much depends on fortuity and chance. May be the fact that I have a computer at home and have some knowledge of English will increase my chances and Internet will help to make me absolutely and completely happy:-)))
