@emma-flournoy I just read your analysis on my brother’s MB-type XD I find it hilarious how you said he’s not very blunt, because, in a way, it’s sooooo true. He beats around the bush so badly, we’re like “Spit it out!” But also sometimes he’s too blunt XD

@leumeister But proximity doesn’t determine who you choose as an accountability partner 😛 Mine is half-way around the world.
I saw someone on Y-Dubs ask for one like asking for a room mate 😀 They requested a certain age (which I think is fair enough) that they like the same genre, which makes sense, and stuff like that.

Please forgive me if I’ve somehow missed you.
We should really educate the Americans on the fact that we don’t ride around on kangaroos and (most of us) don’t…[Read more]-
True, I haven’t even seen a koala in the wild. I’ve bumped into a kangaroo though and narrowly avoided them with the car.
Another myth that they may or may not have heard is that our internet runs on gum trees. That’s why it’s so slow.
-
I’ve never seen a koala in the wild either, @anna-brie.
I don’t think my internet is all that bad. I’m fairly happy with it. Even Steam games, which are fairly big, being a few gigabytes big each, download fairly quickly. 😛I’ve seen kangaroos in people’s yards if they live in the country.
-
We have kangaroos in our yard. And our internet isn’t all that bad. It’s not brilliant, but pretty good. It used to be bad, but we changed provider.
I just noticed that you forgot to tag @gideon-sowdon

I see kangaroos on a daily basis. ALSO YAS KOALAS. I’ve seen them reasonably frequently too.
MY INTERNET TOTALLY RUNS ON GUM TREES. XD XD I’ve never actually heard that one before?? But it’s great. I should start mentioning that to American friends… XP-
@jane-maree I got that from this blog post. http://paperfury.com/10-things-didnt-know-about-australian-bookbloggers/
-
@anna-brie oh woww. XD That’s hilarious.
-
@anna-brie, this is one the best things I’ve ever read. She’s a great writer! ;P I was literally in stitches
-
Here’s a question. Do you guys have deer? If not, I’m thinking that the American equivalent of kangaroos is deer.
@clairec
@jane-maree
@anna-brie
@leumeister -
@dragon-snapper We have deer, but they’re not native, and I’ve never seen them. Unlike foxes. They’re also not native.
-
@dragon-snapper what Anna said. And the lengthy conversations on deer and kangaroos that I’ve had with Americans I can confirm that they are comparable-ish equivalents. 😛

@countryjournalist2002, See what I mean? Weirdos…through and through. But lovely weirdos, ’cause, they provide ice-cream.
Don’t worry, you’ll catch on. Ice-cream, raspberries, chocolate and glitter are a bit of a thing… 🙂
BTW, all KP staff members, please note: She did not stumble here accidentally. I invited her. *tries to look important*…[Read more] -

@dragon-snapper Hey there!
I haven’t been around for a while, but I was just reading ‘The Legends of King Daeus’
and it’s sequel for the I-don’t-know-how-many-th time! I hope there’s a third part coming. Feel free to ask for inside Aussie jokes if you need them. 🙂 I know @perfectfifths, @anna-brie, @jane-maree, @bluejay (if she’s around) would…[Read more]-
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed it! I was actually really worried about the second one, but it seems to have worked out. 😀
I’m taking a little break before starting up on the third one, mainly because I have so many other projects I’m working on.
However, for all you Aussies, feel free to post your suggestions and maybe dialect here. I’ll be honest…[Read more]-
@dragon-snapper It shouldn’t be ‘saussies’ it should be ‘snags’ if you really want to use slang. 😛 And Kookaburra…well, it’s not exactly slang, it’s just the name of a bird.

@DaughteroftheKing Thanks! This was my…fifth book? It was just a novella though so it was a heap easier. 34k long, and I wrote it between 1-15 of this month. *nods*
