Любо́вь зла́, полю́бишь и козла́.


The title of this blog is a Russian proverb that literally means...."love is evil, you'll love even a goat" our version of that is "love is blind"! The other day, out of frustration and watching my engaged friends carry on I signed up on LDSSINGLES....don't judge. I was thinking of a catchy username that describes my personality in some way, but it's more difficult than you'd think. Finally, I settled on Pycckie314 because pycckie is how you spell Russian in Russian. It's a crude form because we don't have the same alphabet but it's close enough that if you know Russian you can see that it says Russian. The 314 is my birthday so that fits also. I was content with my username and then some of my friends that saw my profile asked why I chose to call myself picky314....that's how they read it was picky as in not easily pleased. I just rolled my eyes since I didn't think it said that at all because when I look at it I see Russian and I've had Russians comment on my username because they know it says Russian. However, when I asked a guy I had been chatting with what he thought my username meant he agreed with my friends and said he thought it meant I am picky. I couldn't believe it! This whole time all these guys probably look at my profile and say, "well she's cute but I'm not going to talk to her because she's picky!" I would change it but I'm not staying on the website after another week. I gave it a trial run and I don't think it was for me.
