missing word

1 mistake with "childhood". I mixed it with "child". Evidently, not great this time, in one sense. Smile On the other hand, I am willing to work more on my English.
I'm neither morning nor night person, or to re-phrase I'm arrhythmic one. My favourite hobbies are to learn and conceive English and to dance. I live on the outskirts of famous city Lviv (Western Ukraine), I like joking that often only the richest could afford themselves to live out of city. Smile I'm fond of The Cranberries' songs. Hm. Do you really want to know something interesting and uncommon about me? I always used to play with funny rubber cat figures. My very first thought in the morning is "I'll just have 5 minutes lie-in, no more!" and it repeats each 5 minutes. Smile

Re:

Unfortunately, I always had to get on the other side of the city or quite far: to school, to university and to first work, to second work Smile I'm lucky one.

I'm neither a morning nor

I'm neither a morning nor night person. I like cycling mountain bike and learn English. I live in suburb of St. Petersburg in own house because I got used to privacy and quiet. I prefer to listen to audio books rather than listen to music. But nevertheless I like some songs of Avril Lavigne. I had plenty of toys in the childhood so the toy dog Artemon was my favotite. To pray to god first of all is my thought in the morning. The ideal dream job for me must be interesting and good paid. When I was growing up I had two nicknames such as toad and boss.
