You and your group are getting ready to leave for the airport, and you're having trouble keeping track of all the luggage. Fill in the blankets to figure out what is whose.

-- (Whose) это сумка? (Yours, formal)? Чья, ваша

I think I'm actually starting to get the hang of these damn pronouns. Of course, now that I say that, it's all going to be wrong and I'm going to have missed some vital instruction somewhere, like, the pronoun takes the gender of the speaker or something.

... you know what? Fuckit. I can live with my old iPod, or ask my Mom if she has a spare one lying around from my brother or sister, until my birthday when I will most likely get a new one from someone. Part of my courtesan curriculum is fiscal responsibility. That means not making frivolous high-dollar purchases on a whim until I have my finances in order. Never mind that I haven't even used 1/3 of my credit limit. On my one credit card.

*growls* Stupid iPod, though. I had it for TWO months. ANd then, like an idiot, I misplaced the receipt/warranty. Meh.

Speaking of entirely frivolous high-dollar purchases, though. Any other baby courtesans putting money towards their marque or am I the only utter dork/geek here?

*sighs* Oh, Heroes. You had such promise. Also, someone needs to make me an icon involving Jason Statham from Snatch and one of those quotes about "ze Germans" for my German lessons.
