Actually I would never say "Shut your mouth!". Instead of it I may sarcastically say:"Ok, I feel it's time to shut my mouth."

To get to this particular university was a big decision.

Oh yes, I have several old friends, but I'll tell you about one of them. My friend Stacy (also known as Anastasia, Nastasya, and the Multimedia Fairy) and I have been friends for ten years, and we've known each other for fifteen. I'm the only daughter in my family and she is an only child, so, we're like sisters. She's crazy in the very best way! She's always full of energy and enthusiasm, taking on a lot of projects and somehow managing to pull them off, even she doesn't know how. I think, her life can be described by the quote "you'll never know until you try." If an idea comes to her, she will make it happen, find a location, people, and budget, and she will do whatever it takes to make it realized. She is assertive at work and very mild in life. She has a great sense of humor, she is a good listener, supportive and attentive. She is expressive and bright, she wears red and has a long black hair and dark big eyelashes, making her look like an oriental princess. I think, Stacy and I represent the expression "extremes meet" because we have different styles and different features of characters, but still we do have something in common.
Why we're friends for so long? I think, it's because we can laugh together until we cry, and we can cry together when one of us is sad and when one of us is feeling down, the other one always finds a way to cheer her up and figure out an escape from a situation. We trust each other deeply, we know each other's tastes, we genuinely admire each other and love each other as friends.

I admire Alexander Zatsepin, a composer who turned 99 this year. He is still actively working: he writes music, visit different events, stay in touch with people of different generetions. It's great that many people appreciate his music for Soviet films, especially for Gaidai's comedies. In these films, music is not just a background, it is part of the action. Gaidai's comedies have become very popular in our country, and I think it's largely due to Zatsepin's music.When I listen to his music, I feel like I'm meeting an OLD FRIEND. Even if I know how the FILM ENDS, I watch it anyway. Sometimes just for the music.
