“About Myself” (About Myself)

I like people who are stubborn. I like rock music and hate “rabiz” people. I prefer abstract painting. I don’t like to talk a lot. I like talking a lot only when I wish to bore somebody. I sit quietly until somebody asks me about something. I don’t like to be around a lot of people. I hate difficult mathematics exercises. I don’t like to be absent from classes or be late for meetings. That’s why I always go 30 minutes early. I first fell in love in the kindergarten when I was three years old. I went to a school camp at the age of five and to school at the age of six, by the way this I did with my willingness. I like basketball most from sports, but I went to wrestling.

“'Mirror, mirror on the wall…'” (The school)

We had a class. Suddenly I noticed that Anush was looking in the mirror and admiring herself. Armen, who was sitting behind her, started to sing in a deadly voice:
“Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who’s the fairest of them all?”
Anush turned around and tried to hit him. Armen managed to avoid getting hit. Elena’s nail-polish took the hit instead. It fell down and poured on the table. The smell was all over the classroom.
“Armen, Anush, what are you doing? I poured my nail polish because of you. I told you not to move the table thousand times.”
The smell of nail polish mixed with the smell of perfume and for a second I thought I was in a beauty salon.

untitled (Stories About Spring)

“Wow, spring will be here soon,” I told my friend.
“We are going to have crazy weather, wind and rain.”
“That’s what’s good about it; the rain will clear the air.”
“Besides rain, we have the 8th of March and the 7th of April so we would have to collect money to buy presents for our teachers.”
“Everybody wants money.”
“True.”
“I like spring only for cherry white blossoms and swallows’ singing.”
“The only thing I don’t like is thunder.”
“Me too.”
We ended our talk about spring and left the park.
