Yes, but I was guessing the whole time. 
"Whoever governs must consider it as much his duty to avoid war as it is that of a captain of a vessel to avoid shipwreck. When a captain has lost his ship, he is judged and condemned if found guilty of negligence or even of incapacity. Why should not governments be judged after the declaration of every war? If the people understood this, if they...

or maybe it's just a ploy to make people try harder for my affection.

Mucho funniness in Rome. Forgot to take condoms and I figured it'd be hard to find some in the Catholic capital of the world. But I was wrong. Found a vending machine in the middle of a clothes shop. And I'm not talking about the kind of machine you get in gents' toilets. This was like a chocolate machine, with a glass front and about...

um...cupcakes here basically consist of cake batter poured into little cup-shaped baking tins (usually vanilla or chocolate batter), and then once baked you spread icing on the tops. so good they're evil.

I just sat in bed all day reading 'The Bell Jar'. Quality book, if slightly similar to all the other 'Never Promised You A Rose Garden', 'Girl Interrupted', 'The Awakening' type things.
It's given me a new appreciation for 'Wide Sargasso Sea' though. I used to dislike that book because it fucked about with 'Jane Eyre', but now I really feel for Bertha and all...

My pet gecko's in a good mood tonight. He's been wandering around his tank for the last hour, waiting for me to take him out. Now he's curled up in the crook of my arm, which is making it difficult to type.

awww...poor you. i'd give anything to be there instead of here. i'd be exotic and i'd get to make out with a bunch of hot brittish boys. the accent makes me melt.
whatcha writin' about these days, eh? Keep ya head up on the writing scene- the first novels always suck terribly. but really, don't despair. just keep out of yer mind how goddamn impossible it is to get published (i have been, if you're wondering.). It simply takes naivete (well, that, and talent).
Anyhoo, was impressed that you spoke any russian at all, though you mixed up the verb in gender, number, and case. run something you've written by me sometime, if you're feeling ballsy (do brits say such things?)
