I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The new passport to bathing, I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. I mean, I guess so.

The best part about the gel (badegel!) is it's also mit glimmer-optik!

It might be "the new bath fun."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

nah, "Spass" (or "Spaß") is related to fun - I've generally heard it more in the sense of a joke, but it looks there are meanings that are closer to simple fun, having fun, enjoyment, and so on. [link] is my favorite online German dictionary when it comes to shades of fairly colloquial speech, but I can't link directly to a search...

(x-post because I was being all wordy while Ginger said it better anyway)

(and while I'm eta'ing, I want glimmer-optik!)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

In Germany passports are fun.

Ah -- fun makes more sense. I was thinking maybe there was something -- I can't think of the word, but like colloquial or not-quite-literal -- with the "passport" thing.

It is the new fun in my bath, with the glitter and all!

Oh, right, verbs.

Glimmer-optik uber alles.

Alternate English teacher perspective on new SAT: it's really nice to be able to clearly link writing skills to that oh-so-important test.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

What with all the paper writing that my academic college classes required (and even some of the art classes with lecture components), I can see how having some indication of an incoming student's skill level would be very handy.

And, likely, depressing as well.
