Random Rants XI: This Title Actually Has Some Imagination

I spent seven years learning Mandarin and I can't even manage a proper two-minute conversation. I've been learning German for five years and is only doing a little bit better.

Some teacher once told me I am good with language. What a joke. English is my second language and I've been using it everyday since I was nine. In writing, reading and listening I'm more proficient with English than with my first language, but I can't manage to speak even a single bloody English sentence without stuttering or getting the words in the wrong order. So trying to learn a third language had been an epic fail for me, and I can't say to be completely fluent in either English or first language. Yeah, I'm real good with language, being unable to fully communicate in any.

I guess you're bored with my weather rant but anyway it got up to around 45 degrees according to the thermometer at my house today. In the shade.

What's your first language? Italian?
 
The local convenience store is running out of Vanilla Coke. :mad:
I disagree :p
You'd be a looney if you didn't ;)
The Babe Thread is for looking at hot girls. Why you want to append the name of a relatively obscure, often poorly managed, and largely pointless forum game to that is beyond me.
This is crazy, there are 2 other people who've gone down the German -> Arabic route...

(I was forced to learn German at school, not that I remember much of it, and I'm going to start learning Arabic sometime soon... I just need to get off my backside and try to start again)
Wow, you should come to the DC meetup. :D
Emo people are ********.
Yes, yes they are.

You misread my post.
 
He thinks because he got 2nd in the state in math, he's the smartest kid in the world.
Well we already know that raketooy is the smartest kid in Finland, and possibly Lithuania, which probably beats this kid, so just tell him that.
 
Why the hell is it so cold in my room?
 
I slipped and fell on the ice today. :cringe:

That stuff is seriously dangerous. Be careful everybody...
 
Tales of your winter hardship scorched the depths of my souls. The image is burnt into my mind.

You poor baby in the middle of summer. Excuse me for not feeling bad :p
 
The ice is bad here, too. Lots of black ice, but mostly on the sidewalks. This means that driving is fine, so my university can't justify closing school, but for those of us who WALK to and from school, life is hell. Oh well, I got to wear my ushanka for the past few days, and people generally loved it. And, of course, I enjoyed looking incredibly badass as I spread my Ostalgie across barren Baltimore lands.
 
The ice is bad here in New England.

Also, remember that kid who's stealing my seat?

His little buttbuddy's now stealing it too. Right when I get on, he'll swap seats to my seat. When he did this this morning, I gave him the Dick Cheney Greeting and sat somewhere else.
