About Markov55
I am a 25 year old college student from the Chicago suburbs. I was born under the signs of Libra (western) and the dog (eastern). I'm a very strong and independent type of woman. I'm not afraid to offer my opinion. My heritage is all over the world, but I'm mostly Russian. That's counts for my love of the all things from the old country. I also love all things vintage, from my clothes and hair to my movies and cars. I'm very idealistic and patriotic, yes I do love being in the United States and would not trade it for any other country. Though I believe the ideals Jefferson, Washington and the other founding fathers set forth have been tarnish in the past years. I'm a huge history buff, especially early American, one day I hope to become a professor on the subject. I often do things on a whim, I like to seek adventure where it will find me. I never want to leave this world with any regrets.

Feel free to add me. But just to be on notice, I'm not one to comment in every single entry on my friends list. Though I do love you guys and read every single entry. I really don't feel the need to make a comment unless I have something interesting to say. I would rather make a heartfelt reply rather than a half assed one just for the sake of commenting. So if you feel the need for constant love and adoration, this is not the journal for you.

THE FLAPPER by Dorothy Parker
The Playful flapper here we see,
The fairest of the fair.
She's not what Grandma used to be, --
You might say, au contraire.
Her girlish ways may make a stir,
Her manners cause a scene,
But there is no more harm in her
Than in a submarine.

She nightly knocks for many a goal
The usual dancing men.
Her speed is great, but her control
Is something else again.
All spotlights focus on her pranks.
All tongues her prowess herald.
For which she well may render thanks
To God and Scott Fitzgerald.

Her golden rule is plain enough -
Just get them young and treat them
rough.
