I have so many songs, I forget I have some of them. Something comes up on my playlist and I'm like "WTF is this?" Then I look it up, remember, and go ^_^ Oh, yeah!
Sad, sad, sad.

Good luck in your search. My googling keeps giving me shit about "magic beans".
I wanna say he's in like "Ivan and the Wolf," actually. And probably a bunch of others. Lyosha and Vanchka get around a lot in the fairy tales. ^_^
Ha, you should see the cursive I had to write. You start looping Мs and Лs and <>И</>s and damned if you know what the fuck you just wrote anymore. I'll have to get a snapshot of some of my work sometime.
Just be glad it wasn't Old Church Slavonic. A quarter of those letters don't exist at all and the rest you're willing to doubt on principle. The script in your dangly thing is a good impression of Old Church, actually.
Well... it's wasn't my intent to turn you away from your studies. ^^;
Old Church Slavonic is more or less the alphabet as it was when originally conceived. You mostly see it any more in churches, on icons, or fancy... things. The scripts style used for your dangly is of a similar style as Old Church, though the letters themselves are very much modern Cyrillic.
They just use the style 'cause they're out to get me it looks prettier.
Cursive Japanese is the most evil thing ever created by man, with the possible exception of cursive Chinese. x.x It actually makes less sense than Arabic. :P
*nods blankly and pretends she understood a word of that* ^_____________________^;;
It's really old writing that looks really good, but no one except monks with little to do the fill the hours anyway can read. And then they borrow the font to use with the modern letters to make everything look "better".
Kinda like when we get happy with the fancy calligraphy on certificates.
I fsking hate calligraphic Japanese. It's pretty...but I dont' think even the Japs can read it. They lie through their fucking teeth. "Oh, it means 'by the shadow of the moon, I wait for thee" or some crap when all it probabl says is "Your mama was here and she rocked all night"

@.@;; Kay. Note to self. Put off learning cursive Japanese for as long as humanly possible...
;_; But.. but... the stupid thing is only 16 years old... why would they write in some funky system if it's relatively new? *whiiiiine*
