Interesting, I could have way too much fun with those cases xD, Maybe the "go away" and "come now" case could be the Bipolar case...? I don't know, this gives me so much to think about when I'm at the dentist today, I just hope I don't start laughing... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I know exactly what you mean! Compare: Justin Bieber - One Less Lonely Girl Unheilig - Hexenjagd They're not even remotely in the same ballpark. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

When you get all excited while watching a movie that you have seen many times but, because you now have a big screen, high def TV, you notice something new.That is, while watching the classic James Bond movie, "From Russia, With Love," you notice that in the scene in the train dining car, there is a sign on the upper wall for "Berlitz".

When you're at church camp with the sweetest, cutest single girl in the church and she asks you about your crappy summer job. You tell her about it, and say the one thing that made it bearable was hearing the internationals speak other languages, including Jamaican Creole. She asks you what a creole is, and you talk to her about languages a little.
Talking to a girl you like about a subject you like makes you think that working at your crappy summer job was all worthwhile :) Edited by Michael K. on 18 January 2012 at 1:04am 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When you spend the evening listening to a documentary in Polish and writing a very detailed, three-page-long explanation of and study plan for Mandarin for a friend...and yet you speak neither of those languages.

When the English Wikipedia blackout isn't a big deal, since you could satisfy your curiosity in some other language.

The English Wikipedia blackout was just the motivation I needed to read Italian, so it was great for me.
