<p>LOL i don’t know if any of you speak Russian, but “Krugliye Chisla” refers to numbers that are “round”, aka end in zeros. There isn’t really an American equivalent, but basically I made this thread b/c this is my 900th post, making it a “round” number of posts. 100 to go until I crack 1000!</p>
<p>on the D board, of course. Everybody else can post their round-numbered posts here too…plus you can feel cool knowing you’ve learned two new Russian words!</p>
<p>otherwise, though, this thread is unnecessary. besides boosting the thread count lol. so you can go back to the consequential threads now :-D</p>
<p>ETA: AAAAAANNNNDDDDD…this post that I am making right now…marks that we now only need 100 to catch up to Brown.</p>
<p>lol how weird. 100 till I get to 1000, 100 till we get to Brown…maybe I should just post 100 by myself? lol</p>
<p>Haha congrats, blu. :D</p>
<p>I know you’ll do it before decisions come out, too.</p>
<p>The week decisions come out is going to be craaaaaaazy on here! :p</p>
<p>I wonder if the Brown board knows of their impending takedown…</p>
<p>lol. no. it’s like empty. kind of sad, really</p>
<p>it’s like, all the life force it had has been transferred to us lol</p>
<p>haha it’s because I started posting more on here 
(<- green smiley for the Big Green hehe)</p>
<p>haha too true.</p>
<p>cali, are you not in school today or something??</p>
<p>Maladyets! Typyer da tishichi.</p>
<p>whoa whoa whoa, Xan is Russian?</p>
<p>ETA: haha yeah, thanks, not so much left</p>
<p>lol…uznayosh chtoto novoye kazhdiy dyen. Ya suda pereyehal kagde mnye bilo shest.</p>
<p>haha ya zdes rodilas…wow, i feel so awkward writing Russian words with English letters, they look so ridiculous lol</p>
<p>Yeah…I’m used to it, though, because I have a brother living in Israel and while he speaks English quite well (he’s an entomologist at a university there, so he has to read and write things in English), whenever I write him emails I write Russian with English letters to try and keep my Russian in practice (I speak really crappy Russian).</p>
<p>haha same here…check this out. one time i was on Narodnaya Volna, the Russian radio station for the tri-state area…and the radio host asked if we had read the 5th Harry Potter book, which had just come out. My response?</p>
<p>“Mne tak nravelas knishka, ya nye mogla otraveetsa!”</p>
<p>that’s right. not “otarvatsa”…i said to the Russian population of NY, NJ and CT, that I liked the book so much I couldn’t poison myself lol.</p>
<p>worst of all, i had no idea that people my age actually listened to it…i showed up to Russian camp and all these kids are like “Rinka, I heard you on the radio, while my grandma was listening to it! You said something dumb as hell, I remember laughing my a ss off!”</p>
<p>Also, in an effort to improve my Russian and my understanding of my paternal grandfather, i read his memoirs…ended up writing my college essay about it :-D</p>
<p>Hahaha…I’ve said some pretty dumb things in Russian. I won’t list them because I honestly can’t remember them all. Nothing epic like that though.</p>
<p>blu- I just got out early today. 
It was really nice. I got to take a nap.</p>
<p>Not quite the same, but as a freshman, I told the Russian teacher that I hated history because it was boring.</p>
<p>Little did I foresee that this year he would be my history teacher.</p>
<p>cali - ahhhh, naps.</p>
<p>kiwi - LOL ouch, i’m sorry!</p>
