wow thats really wierd... no offense or anything...

Alla! You're an Aussie, huh? Although by rights I should shun you, i won't becuse, you know, we need all the Southern Hemisphere people we can get. I'm a kiwi.

seen any sheep lately, birdhead? lol... i have nothing against kiwis, a kiwi gave us the wonderful LOTR movies (i love those ones)... and who could the aussies pay out if you guys weren't there? lol... nah... u know what i really hate? is the americans and brits that can't tell the difference between an aussie and a kiwi accent... they're nearly as bad as the americans who try to imitate our accent (no offence intended to any americans out there, i am merely stating an opinion). most of Australia's best actors are kiwi by birth anyways. *shrugs* i waffle too much... lol...

A lot of people know an austrailian accent. But it's not like any of us have heard anybody from NZ speak! New Zealand is hardly as popular as austrailia, (no offense.) There are so many Austrailian actors and stars that we hear about but no NZ ones that we hear about. I didn't even know they were called Kiwi's! That's basically why we don't know the difference.

When I think of Austrailia I think of a million people on the beach playing volleyball, surfing, a bunch of stuff. (Highly influenced by the Olsen Twins movie. ONe of my friends is obsessed with them.) Or the crocodile hunter....lol.
New Zealand? For some reason I think of a bunch of guys chillin in hammocks. Don't ask me why. Probably because someone told me that some country sent their prisoners to NZ...I don't know, I think NZ is a cool place so they were probably chillin when they got sent there...lol. Don't pay attention to me. I'm loony.

Oh. And the bigger the school you have the more lunch period's you have. Our's is really big so we have 4.

[Gryphon]

Hmm... I've been reading through your posts, and yeah, I want to research something. I've been wanting to research things. No time... *grumbles* And I have this internet-search block.

Alla:
crikey!...ready for school? i'm already halfway through the year! lol... i live Down Under! and i have about forty days of school left and then holidays and no more school for ever!!! *runs around in circles celebrating*

nah school's fun, i love the social aspect of everything. i'll miss it next year i think, although there's soo much more to do at uni, that should be even funner (sorry about my grammatical incorrectness... my fingers are lazy)

Just like Tui... You'll be out of school when we're in the middle of our year. Speaking of Tui, I haven't seen her in a while.

Not school... *whines*

*scrolls down a bit more* Oh, there's Tui! 8waves* Hi!

Lunches in America. Well, that kinda depends on what school you're going to; they're all different. You could have assigned tables where everyone in your class has to set at the same table or the same set of tables. Or worse - assigned seats. Then there are some schools where you could sit absolutely anywhere you like. A few more where you don't even have to have lunch at school. *pokes* Not all of the schools in the states have two lunch perdiods. My old school had three. This school has two schools in one building, so the lunch periods are kinda... killed. My elementary school had lunches like this: one class would come in, another would come in 5 minutes later, another five minutes after that, and so on, with some filtering in and out. *shrugs*

*dances in circles* I got A Hat Full of Sky today! Whoot!

[Birdhead]

Probably because someone told me that some country sent their prisoners to NZ...

AHAHAHAHAH no. That's Australia, the Convict Country. It was the UK, by the way; back then you could get convicted so easily for so much that the cons weren't exactly cons as we'd think of them now, necessarily. Anyway, what would happen is, if you got caught and convicted and were sentenced to be hung, your sentence could be... what's the word... *scratches head* Anyway, you could be sent instead to Australia to do hard labour and stuff, and after like a zillion years you were freed, IIRC. I went and saw the Convict Museum when I was over there in January. It was interesting.

No sheep recently. Seen Ned Kelly or the Crocodile Hunter recently? (*shudder* I cannot STAND Steve Irwin. Blech.)

I got asked a lot if I was English, and then they'd ask Australia. *shrug* It doesn't bother me too much... I can tell the difference between some American accents, but not with the subtlety some can; I can tell between someone from New York and someone from Texas, but that's about as far as I go. It's all in experience.

I know y'all don't hear us much. But it was so funny in Attack of the Clones you could always hear Temuera Morrison (he was whatsisface, Jenga Fett) talking. But really even most of the Aussies I know of in, say, Hollywood, don't sound like true blue Aussies. Like, say, Heath Ledger. He does not sound like an Aussie to me in Ten Things I hate About You. More British, but not really... a strange blend.

Oh, there's Tui! 8waves* Hi!

*wavesback* Hi!

Ooh, Tiffany Aching. and PISHED! *snprt* I keep using that word and then having to explain it to EVERYONE IN THE WORLD who haven't read the book. It is getting annoying. Like:
Me: ... and she was utterly PISHED it was so funny.
Someone else: You mean pissed.
Me: No! Pished! Tossed out of Fairyland!
Them: You are a fool. And you're slurring.
Me: No! Like the Wee Free Men!
Them: Who what where why you FREAK.
Me: *durr*
OR
Them: Which book?
Me: A Hat Full of Sky
Them: I haven't read that one.
Me: *durr*

Yeah. it's annoying. Everyone should read Pratchett because he is SO RIGHT.

i'm bored... i'm on exam block at the moment, but i can't do anything cos my chem teacher hasn't emailed me the revision sheet yet . i guess i could do physics or maths, but nah... *shrugs* oh well... cyas later

[Zgirl]

OMG we had to play cricket in school. It was so fun! Baseball=bad. I suck at baseball but I'm pretty good at cricket. (don't ask.)

American accents...hmmm. We have Jersey, Boston, New York, Minnesotan, Kansas, Texas, California or the Valley, and much more. There are so many accents in America. And then there are the cross accents, Indian/American, Chinese/Korean/American, all the foreigners speaking english accents. It bothered me to go over to England and here the Indians speaking with a different accent than the Indians here.

[Cress]

Wahoo Heath Ledger! Wahoo 10 THings I Hate About You! HAPPINESS! And Terry Pratchett rocks. I had that same problem today, I was talking to someone and for some reason someone said "ook" so I said the Librarian says ook, and they're like sure, who on earth is the Librarian? I hate having inside jokes with myself.

[Peter Murray]

That's strange, I played baseball at school, but I don't recall ever playing cricket.

Four periods of lunch? I am so tempted to comment...

Is it true you basically get the same lessons at the same time every day? That just sounds really odd to me.

I'm getting sidetracked by chat. What else was I going to comment on?

Oh yeah, before we shipped the criminals off to Australia, we sent them off to the North American colonies, but then they got all revolting and we stopped.

Trust me Z, no you don't. A couple of boys sit at our table *ahemahem corban ben coughhack* and all they are interested in is putting chocolate milk in their fries and mushing it up to see what color it turns!! grossness!!

PTK, I have second lunch and you are welcome to sit with me unless you are going to put chocolate milk in your fries.

My language arts teacher is a nutcase! She is weird and overly obsessive and a neatfreak! Oh no! She is an older version of me!!

[Aurora]

Oooooo I started school today, it was GREAT seeing all the guys again! ^^ And it was funfun!!! And uhh....... I have no friends in either Physics or French BUT THAT'S OKAY!!!!! because I don't really care either, and tomorrow looks even BETTER!!!!! ^^

[Zgirl]

Aurie? What ever happened to the "kisses taste nice" siggy if you don't mind me asking. I always like to watch people's siggy's change...

[Birdhead]

Dude, "kisses taste nice" went AGES ago. Where have you been?

Actually, where has Aurie been? Haven't seen her around for a while...

[Aurora]

I'm around, I just don't post a lot anymore. I don't have much to say anymore. Besides that, I'm waging a war against the people hat are pro-plastic surgery at another forum. I don't agree with plastic surgery. I don't mean that I want a law against it or anything, but I don't agree with it. The other person won't let it rest. . . --'' He's got two points, namely "Competitive beauty" and "it's human nature." I think I said something along the lines of "The people should spend their money on counselling." and "Human nature doesn't stand up in court; why should it here?" --'' I don't especially care though. People can do what they want concerning plastic surgery, but they've gotta realize it's not going to get them any respect.

Back to school though, I had Chem, Law, Math and Sociology. . . and my sociology teacher is cool.

[Birdhead]

Sociology! What an awesome course. Your school has all the best courses... didn't you have one on global religion or something a while back?

Mm, I agree with you about plastic surgery; on a personal level at least, anything that I would do using cosmetic surgery (nip, tuck. >.&lt is something that I would probably be better off doing myself- ie losing five or six kgs. For the rest... I dunno. I think it's very sad. I don't think i generally approve, btu for some stuff... cleft palate (sp), okay, I would have an operation for that, personally. But I saw about five minutes of one episode of Extreme Makeover a ways back (and what a sick, sick show. Have extreme and dangerous plastic surgery and All Your Problems Will Be Solved!) and one of them women was talking about how her boyfriend told her she was ugly, so did her family, and so forth... it just made me very sad. As far as I'm concerned, her family are the ones who need surgery- preferably a lobotomy. Ugh. (My brother tells me that such a comment is... distasteful. Probably. But god.)
