'beware the wickedness of the righteous'

Хочу тье показать как я пишу по Русский но проблем даже не в орфографии, а просто все так медленно когда я тиккую по незнакомый клавиш
poetomy budu pisat kak umeu i mozhet byt tebe zahochetsa popravit moi grammaticheski oshibki :)

As for travelling and meeting, I can say this:
"There where you are awaited and wanted, you will always arrive on time."

Thanks very much for the link to the Fox Mountain. I had no idea about it.
BBB lives in the new part of Balashikha, near Pole Chudes and he always takes me to the forest. He hates the litter. My English cousin visited and her comment was: "You are never far from broken bottles in Russia." Now BBB repeats this phrase endlessly. I like the fact that you find beauty in everything, even or maybe especially in the scruffy things.

the right way to write that would be:

Хочу тебе показать, как я пишу по-русски. Но проблема даже не в орфографии, а просто все так медленно, когда я стучу (but «тикаю» is endearing!) по незнакомым клавишам. Поэтому буду писать, как умею, и, может быть, тебе захочется поправить мои грамматические ошибки.
yes, поле чудес is a different side of balashikha, i've been taking walks on the other side of щелковское шоссе recently. btw, not all forests are littered, it gets much better if you move further away from the towns. also btw, i used to take long walks in the woods last winter when it was -35C! i hate litter in the woods too, probably not as much as BBB, but still. and since i started to spam my posts, here are photos with 'garbage' tag: http://vriad-lee.livejournal.com/tag/garbage
i will be glad to correct your russian if you wish, but you should let me know about my slips in english in return! because i noticed that people are reluctant to point out them for me, maybe that's because they also find them cute, i don't know.

It's a deal. I'm sick of being cute and cute as you are, I could polish you a little bit too. But do you mind if I go on writing Russian in Latin letters, for now, anyway? The reason is that I really am painfully slow on my Cyrillic keyboard (half the letters are eroded) while I can type like the wind, blindfold in Latin.
No serious mistakes in the above. Just a little linguistic dandruff, as follows:
Pole Chudes is ON a different side of B.
Not all THE forests (because we have already discussed them) are littered
To point THEM out TO me, not point out them for me
Russian in English has a capital letter, although not, as I note, in Russian
As for the garbage, the soft toys, shoes and coats are somehow touching, as in the photos you see after airline disasters etc. But the bottles polluting the water are simply disgusting. People are pigs, really. That's why I prefer animals, including pigs.

yes, of course, you can write russian in latin alphabet, although i have to say that's lame since you don't have all the letters there.
thanks for the corrections. am i right in assuming that 'point them out FOR me' could mean 'point them out insted of me/on my behalf'?
i write everything in lowercase, though, even mother teresa!
it's interesting, but i've never thought of disasters while taking/looking at those pictures. somene said once that my photos of shoes remind them of rape. i find garbage pictures very peaceful myself.

I know, I'm a technological cripple but I may surprise you one day.
Yes, you might say "could you point them out for me" if you have an armful of books and can't point yourself, so you get someone else to point for you.
Lower case is in fact cool, journos all write in lower case 'cos they're lazy.
I guess garbage might be peaceful, like graveyards, but your pictures are so vivid that they actually conjure up the smell as well. Yuk! I like all the rest, though :)

oh, i used to hate people who write everything in lowercase once. and now i am one of them!
