"Should I know them?"

You know you're in Moscow when, the first time you stick your nose into a rink, you run into figure skaters.
They were American figure skaters.
CUTE American figure skaters.
...
NO, not THAT one. That's reserved for next week.They were a boy and a girl and I kept quite a while puzzling over who they were and whether I knew them. In the end, it ( Read more... )

Taylor wears red underwear as well doesn't he? ;-)

Yeah, he did at some point, I remember that. :)

What do you mean, "dream"?! I call it a "mission"! You know, Moscow is my magical city, so...

What will it mean when Johnny turns up with red ones? That he and Stéphane are now doing sleepovers and he borrows Stéphane's underwear?

It's not 8:30 to go skating. :P It's 8:30 to take Russian - I would have to have gone there even if I'd stayed for the class today (which would be a little pointless, I guess). So yeah, it was either a pointless Russian class or skating. Easy choice. (And 8:30 is not THAT bad a time for skating, you know.)

Perhaps he started the trend?

Haha yeah, I knew all morals would go astride where Johnny in Moscow is concerned. I really hope you get to meet him again :) And yay for skating already. Are you planning to buy the skates anytime soon?

estriel March 5 2008, 07:26:23 UTC

Well, no, not all morals. :P I'm not going to stalk. But you know, I really want to go pay a visit to the Riedell dealer here in Moscow sometime next week... and it just HAPPENS to be close to the Olympyiskiy rink. Which is where Mr Weir just HAPPENED to train the last time he was here (before CoR). When I found out, I was like - okay, the higher powers have decided that it's my destiny to frequent the same places he'll probably be frequenting... so, I hope that my cosmic luck will make me run into him. And if not, that's okay. :)

I love how it all just HAPPENS :D Well, anyway, look for a Starbucks nearby, that should multiply your chances. He has to get his million coffees per day somewhere.

estriel March 5 2008, 13:01:22 UTC

Yes, it's fate.
Well, the thing is... I heard a few years ago that Starbucks opened its first store in Moscow, but I have no idea where. Now I tried to find it on the internet and it doesn't look like there is any real Starbucks. And if there is, it's probably somewhere far from the center, in one of the shopping districts outside of Moscow.
So I wonder what the boy drinks here in Russia. (See, that's why he can't move here for good. ;)

Awww...it warms my heart to know that you skated at Red Square's rink. I watched them build it in November, so it's kind of like bookends. (Does that make any sense?)

Hug Moscow for me!

estriel March 5 2008, 07:27:26 UTC

Yeah, I've been wanting to do that ever since they had the rink for the first time in 2006, but back then there was no time (and it was like three times as expensive than it is now). So it was fun that I finally got to do it. :)

I will! ;)
