and as if I weren't pretentious enough already

[theladyrose]

I just discovered this morning that I stick out my pinky when I drink tea.

I shall now blame my early days in Hong Kong having afternoon tea at the Peninsula with my mother around so many upper-crust ex-pat Brits as the cause.

Damn, I really want scones and clotted cream now.

Curiosity of the newcomer led me, among other places, here. May I?

"..named after a bulletproof Stradivarius cello that might exist"
Is that the kind that can double as a sled?

Oh, and I remember hearing somewhere that the pinky thing is a sign of aristocracy.

Hello there. Feel free to keep reading if you like although I'm afraid that I don't know any Russian. Would I happen to know you from somewhere as you seem to have found my alter ego LJ as well?

Yes, the cello case does double as a sort of sled/tobaggan if you want to go down a snowy hillside fast.

I always thought that the pinky thing was mostly just some sort of pretentious upper-class English thing, but the aristocracy bit does make sense.

Hello, and thank you :).
I'm not completely sure if I am really where I think I am, as far as this LJ's ownership is concerned. All points to it, though.
I was looking for someone by the name, which led me to your "alter ego LJ", which, in turn, led me here.
And the more I read - the more I think I'm there, meaning - here, or ..well, that is, where I intended to arrive.
Yes, I believe we have met once, and might have talked a couple of times.
I'm new to the LJ world, still learning. But, if I understand correctly, my e-mail address has to be visible to you now. Please drop me a line so I could properly (re)introduce myself.

I must correct myself - it appears now that we haven't met before and this LJ was not the one I was looking for. But I am certainly glad I found it, and, with your kind permission, would like to continue to have a pleasure of visiting here :)
