You know in a 3-ring binder, how you push those two flaps down and the rings open...
How the hell does that work?
OMG! how DOES that work? I can't figure it out!!! I'm serious, I can't.
Here's another question:
In the northern hemisphere, we get the summer off from school, and we get the christmas season off too; In Australia, Christmas is IN the summer, so do they get a winter break during the time that is actually MY summer? If so, what's the reason?

Australian schools usually have a long summer break (a couple of months), with three two-week breaks evenly spaced through the year (between terms of about 10 weeks each). It varies between states.
My university has a long summer break (3 months), a longish winter break (6 weeks) between semesters, and mid-semester breaks of 2 weeks. The reason for this is that uni students are lazy bums who wouldnt do any work during that time anyway.

The whole at least 2 weeks between terms sounds really nice. I'm also lucky to get a four week winter break.
It's just my school though, Morphine's school has breaks up the ass. THAT'S NOT FAIR, YOU BASTARD!

I start school September 1st. I get a 4 day weekend sometime in late October. Then I get a week off for Thanksgiving break. Then I get off school from around December 18th to January 3rd. Then I get a break between Feb 1 and Feb 13. Then we have spring break March 17 to March 27. Last exam is May 23.

Q: One of the mysteries of the universe...
How do you ask a girl out and then make it so she doesnt tell everyone if she says no. I mean, I'm not afraid of getting rejected, but I don't want her telling everyone about it... The people that she'd tell would in turn, tell the BIGGEST gossips in the world, and my private life would be all over the world in ten minutes. So... how?

That's pretty, good... but I wouldn't ask her to be my woman if'n i didn't love her. It's a weird situation, you'd have to be a part of the Russian Church to understand...

Yeah, I suppose you're BOTH right. If I do care about her enough to press the concave strip of metal, It's okay to reveal the Three Rings. And i was not whining, don't make me kill you when we go to the Vancouver olympics...
No but seriously, I've asked out more girls that I could count and all the ones since 8th grade have turned out to be O-K. lol So why am I so aprehensive about this one? I't a different environment than I am used to. I'm just gonna ask and be like "so yes or no, or just whatever, call me." and she'll be like "He's so cool that he doesn't even care, i love him!"

SHE'S not the blabbersnoot, her stupid friends are. Many of them are not even allowed to watch TV, so they get SO bored that they talk about ME... I can't imagine being so bored.
I understand telling your friends stuff, but i don't see why you have to tell everyone else what your friends tell you.
Ephesians 5:22 says "Wives, submit to your husbands in everything." If i hit her with THAT little gem she'll not nag. lol

yeah, She's worth a lot. I'll just talk to her. The reason this is even a risk is because it's so hard to tell what she is thinking.
Oh, i forgot to mention that I ALSO have to ask her parents.
Any suggestions? Besides using REALLY nice formal Russian and being all nice and stuff?
