Oh, how adorable! I love romances. That makes three adorable forum users in one big cute forum.

Как дела?
Плохо, потому что моя девушка поедет в Египет, и я буду скучать по ее большим красивым глазам.

Is she only going there or moving there for good? If she's moving, then переедет.

I left out "my life is bad" because although it is so very romantic, I think it sounds a bit weird here...

I do believe that's correct, but whoever, please correct me if I'm wrong.

The dialogue may look so:

— Как дела?
— В контексте событий, происходящих в настоящее время в моём непосредственном окружении, состояние моих дел можно рассматривать как довольно-таки плохое, и более того — безнадёжное, по очевидной причине того, что моя девушка, с которой я провёл достаточно большой объём времени и получил немалое количество эмоциональных переживаний, собирается поехать в Египет на неопределённо долгое время, что вполне логично заставляет меня скучать по её большим и, не постесняюсь этого сказать, красивым, с точки зрения мировых авторитетов в области офтальмологии, глазам.

Well, for what it's worth, my g/f looked this tonight and told me it read correct

She really likes this site. She left Russia about 12 years ago and has enjoyed a lot of items here.

*CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP* I enjoyed this very much.

Хэ. It's a shame Pravit beat you to it, Tu-160.

I'm afriad i'm not quite advanced enough to enjoy TU's work of art.

Speaking of Egypt, perhaps you could perform "Habibi Da" for the class...

Tu-160's thingy translated:
In the context of events occuring at the current time in my immediate surroundings, the situation of my affairs can be looked upon as rather bad, and moreover hopeless, for the obvious reason that my girlfriend, with which I spent a rather large amount of time and underwent a large number of emotial experiences, is going to go to Egypt for an indefinite amount of time, which completely logically makes me miss her large, and I am not ashamed to say this, beautiful, from the point of view of world authorities in the field of ophthalmology, eyes.

Pravit, I remembered a phrase for you. When somebody is telling something to you for the long time and you can't see much sense in it you can interrupt him by saying «Короче, Склифосовский!». Unfortunately I don't remember what movie it comes from. And it is not very polite, of course.

PS: Склифосовский is a surname of Russian surgeon. He died in 1904.

It is from "Кавказская пленница".

Yes!!!! Thanks, TU, this will make me sound a little bit more Russian now....the only problem is remembering that long name for just the right moment...
