What situations you think about? :D |

You know, not having to marry a vampire just to get their powers.
Also, not having to deal with a love triangle with a werewolf and all that not-so-fun jazz. My only request is that I
get super-awesome flying/running powers and don't have to sleep; sparkling is not necessary.

Thought you all might appreciate some of these. I have an idea: we can recite one or two tongue twisters in each
Skype session. You can practice them beforehand, and we'll see who can best master them. They're quite fun
(and hilarious!). Personally, I'm terrible at them, but perhaps other team members will have better luck.
Tongue Twisters
На мели мы лениво ловили налима,
И меняли налима вы мне на линя.
О любви не меня ли вы мило молили
И в туманы лимана манили меня?
На семеро саней по серемо в сани уселись сами.
Водовоз вёз воду из водопорова.
А мне не до недомогания. (a useful idiomatic phrase, as well—meaning something along the lines of “I don’t
have time for that.” Ex: “I don’t have time/it doesn’t work for me to be sick.”)
Все бобры для своих бобрят добры.
Идеологизировали-деидеологизир вали, и додеидеологизировались
Королёва Клара строго карала Карла за кражу коралла.
Кукушка кукушонку купила капюшон. Надел кукушонок капюшон – как капюшоне он смешон.

The best one: король-орёл.
It's short, but if you manage to pronounce it correctly, the level of your Russian
pronunciation is very high.

@Tecktight
Wow...that skull image really hit me by surprise! I hope you're not overdoing it in those Russian grammar lessons (lol)? ;)
Additional note: I love the fact that this comment will seem quite surreal, once you've changed your profile picture again.

@Teango: I put it on here half for the graphic-artsy side of it and half for the shock value. ;)
My old one I personally associate with lack of dedication and consistency, so my new therapy is to change my avatar
every so often.
I might change it again just to spite you. :D
