Look, I’m trying super hard not to be jealous, but it really isn’t working 😛

We don’t have an air conditioner or anything, so our poor little fans are working themselves to death in an attempt to keep us cool.

@seekjustice Queenslander here, so we’re safe from the heatwave… for now. I’ve got a friend down in Canberra, so I’ve heard that it’s pretty rough there at the moment. I’ll certainly be praying for… well, most of Australia. I can’t even stay in my room during the day because my ceiling fan’s broken and it’s in the hottest part of the house.

@f5a8c3e92

Hello there! I’m kinda writing, but really just laying on the bed and being miserable because of the ridiculous heat. I might have asked before, but where abouts are you from? I live down near Canberra and its been so blinkin’ hot here lately.

@rochellaine Gotcha. An Australian version of Mary Poppins would be legendary, though. And I do indeed know of Ken Ham.

@seekjustice That is correct. P.L. Travers was born in Australia and moved to London to pursue writing.

I’m currently writing, though I’m a little late. Got guests over, so it’s been a little on-and-off since I need to avoid…[Read more]

Actually, I probably need to go now 🙁

@seekjustice Ah, I really wish I could write right now, but I’m leaving in a few for my brother’s basketball practice. 🙁

@f5a8c3e92

Dodgy is such a great word though. Basically everything can be described as dodgy. The Americans really don’t know what they’re missing out on.

@rochellaine

Mary Poppins, as in the actual book, was written by an Australian though. I wonder if Bert describes himself as a bloke in that 😛

By the way, I’m working on my editing at the…[Read more]

@rochellaine I know I’m just being nitpicky, but tECHNICALLy, “bloke” is a British word. I mean, it makes sense that our Australian slang originated in England: bloke, mate, chockablock, “bloody” before every second word, etc.

I just looked up some other slang and wow… I didn’t realise the word “dodgy” isn’t really a thing in America. Although,…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yep.

Only German. Even if I’m not entirely sure about the words, I tend to be able to work it out through context.

I’m not sure what tips to give you really. What I like to do in those situations is try it for myself for a while, like trying to do everything one handed. Also, for Bathshua she would pretty quickly learn how to cope,…[Read more]

@alia Ah yes, thank you very much!

@jenwriter17 Eyy! Thank you!

@rochellaine

Well, they were like highlights, so not really any full songs but still cool. Oh, the Koreans were singing in Korean 😛 I’m fairly certain it was the Korean production anyway, but it might have been Japanese, I’m not sure.

The only French musical I’ve listened to is the original Les Mis recording, other than that, not really.

Yeah,…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yes, I was thinking of that line as soon as you said Mary Poppins 😛

No it isn’t, I was watching promotional videos, but some of them were half an hour long. And I was watching some clips from the concert recording and some Korean clips as well.

I’ve listened to the Disney Broadway version, if that’s what you mean?

@Rochellaine

Bloke is a good word, isn’t it Rochellaine’s sister?

We mostly watch DVDs because of rural internet download, but the other day, when I was watching ATOTC I was on Youtube because it was the last day of the plan and we still had a good amount of internet left and I was trying to use it up. I don’t get to do that a whole lot…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

Awesome! How did you like it? I’ve watched clips from that one, but have never been able to see the whole thing.

Oh, and I’ve been meaning to tell you a funny story about my sister.

A few nights ago, we were in bed and I was just dozing off when there was a rather large crashing noise as something fell off something on my sister’s…[Read more]

@f5a8c3e92

*sighs* No, I don’t own a horse…yet! 😉 My parents said I could probably get one if we move to a place with a lot more land (which we hope to do in the future). I just hope to find some online courses, and possibly a trainer near me who I can learn from.

Yes, photography is a lot of fun to experiment with. 🙂

Ah, I see. I kind of…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Ooh, that sounds cool. Do you own a horse yourself? I’ve actually been getting back into photography lately. It’s always fun to experiment with different techniques.

I guess I’m most looking forward to the amount of freedom I’ll get in comparison to school. And as someone who struggled to make friends in the school system, I’m hoping…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I would’ve guessed that about Chessy. 😉

I don’t know her name, but maybe the actress that played Katniss in the Hunger Games movie (I haven’t seen it though 😉 ). But with shorter and blonde hair. 🙂

Okay, see ya later!

@jenwriter17

Chessy is definitely fight, I think. Yilla is more of a survivor, so she’d do whatever seemed best to survive. She wouldn’t be afraid to fight or ashamed to run away.

I need to go for now, but I’ll give you one more question:

If you had to choose an actor to portray your character, who would it be?

@seekjustice

Ah, I do that too. I say, ‘my book is kind of a cross between [this book] and [this book]…though I haven’t read either of them.’ 😀

Hmm, that’s a hard one. Rin would probably look up to some person who’s started a rebellion of some sort against an oppressive government, because she’d want to do the same. A specific person doesn’t…[Read more]

@jenwriter17

Oh, and for my question,

What real world famous person would your character admire deeply?
