I'm Masha, and I am very random.
I was born in Moscow, Russia, and I moved to the U.S. at a very early age. Nonetheless, I definitely consider myself to be just as Russian as I am American, because I grew up speaking, reading, and writing Russian in a Russian family, and at one point, I went to Russia every summer.
If you are honest about yourself, I am interested in getting to know you, no matter if we share interests or not. People are my main interest, and I love hearing anyone's beliefs/story/interests, even if I don't agree with them.
I am Here for:
Communicating with people!
Most likely YouTube people, as I don't know of anyone else who uses Stickam.
Hobbies:
Family. Friends. Literature. Photography. Foreign Languages. Music. Warm weather. New people. Monkey Island. News. Fog. Reading. Acting. Correcting the grammar mistakes that nobody notices. Watching good movies. Being thoughtful about things not worth thinking about. Dancing around. Traveling. Having engaging conversations. Chuckling. Being Russian.
Favorite Movies:
Clever comedies, interesting and well-acted dramas, entertaining musicals, foreign films, whatever. If it is artsy, quirky, and colorful, there is a good chance that I will enjoy it.
