Although I am a native Russian, I was learning English since being 6 y.o. I've been studying linguistics and recently returned from the US, spending total of 3.5 years there. So I pretty much can say that English is my second native language :) You, guys, who wanna practice English and Russian, do not hesitate. It's fun!

    It's the same as saying... "It sometimes feels like I'm doing battle just to get to the grocery store, NOT EVEN MENTIONING GOING ACROSS A TOWN." Basically, the person tries to say that, for some reason, it's hard for him/her to even go get groceries in a local store, so going across or around the town (to more distant places) is something almost impossible. Maybe lazy, maybe sick :)))

    Sticky situation is an informal way of saying that the situation is embarrassing and makes you feel worried or nervous. Also a conversation or an event can be sticky. "Tough situation" is not necessarily embarrassing, it's just physically, mentally or emotionally hard to deal with. Something that requires a lot of effort and determination.

    wow. sure, why not? you could also draw white clouds and feel like you are living in the skies :) This color will be looking nice with white furniture and decoration elements, like pictures in plain white frames etc.. Also maybe with some throws of very light beige, green and washed pink. light yellow too...

    Yes, there are japanese - english dictionaries that use romaji (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese) instead of traditional Japanese characters called kanji or kana. Basically, if you know how to read in English, you will be able to use those. But for kanji you will need a special one (however, i wouldn't recommend on using one when you've just started learning the language because it will make you scared shitless :))) But if you are just curious, I am using this one now... http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Kanji-Characters-Systematically-Reference/dp/0834802228/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265833662&sr=8-16 Hope it helps

    Imagine a computer with 0 memory. Not even with a hard drive! Piece of useless crap. Now, human brain is even more complicated. If you want to erase the memory in order to get rid of sadness, then you have a problem right here. As the ancients said "If there wasn't black, how would you know what's white." Same goes with sad/happy contrast. Every single memory is making you who you are and losing one I'd consider a tragedy.
