@dekreel What’s the essay topic?

😛 Yeah, I know.  It’s not really strange that you know more about a given subject now than you did a while ago.  I think what was funny was at the time I found it I’d just been having a long discussion about MBTI with you, so the difference was startling. 😉

@rochellaine  I’m theoretically writing an essay, but I’ve been getting quite distracted. . .   -_-

*squints*   And do tell, what’s so funny about it? I’ve changed, that’s all, if that’s what you mean. 😛

@dekreel 🙂

Not a lot new.  Everything’s still going pretty slowly. 😉 Are you writing something right now?

I recently came across an old post of yours that I find hilarious:

@rochellaine  Aye, I’m here. Barely got anything done though. 😛

Soooo, anything new with you?

@dekreel Are you still here?

@valtmy A random thought popped into my head today.  I wondered if you’ve ever heard of The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan?

@perfectfifths

LOUISE!!  😀 *tackles hugs* Hi! Didn’t expect you to come by! How have you been?

HELLLOOOOOOOO!?!

@seekjustice That’s actually pretty cool. 🙂

Yeah, that’s basically how it is in America too.

The House of the Seven Gables.  Let’s see…okay, I’ve been trying to figure out how to explain the plot, and can’t, so I’ll just give you a link to the Wikipedia page and you can read it when you get the chance. 😉

Okay, I’ve answered a few of the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, apparently the emu is out bird and on our coat of arms because it can’t walk backward. Same with the kangaroo.

😛 Most white Australians can only speak one language, but since Australia is so multicultural a lot of Australians speak more than one language.

There are some emu farms, but not that many. Someone who lives near us…[Read more]

@seekjustice 😀

Apparently Benjamin Franklin thought the eagle would be a bad national bird because it attacks little birds and steals their food.  He proposed the turkey, but I think that would be rather silly.

Forgive us. 😛 Americans are mocked everywhere, and by our own selves, for knowing little.  There’s a joke I’ve heard which goes, “What…[Read more]

@rochellaine

My aviator’s heart is beating wildly.

The turkey??? That’s just embarrassing. Speaking of national birds though, I once saw an American say that emus came from China.

Nothing is wrong with alligators they just aren’t as cool as saltwater crocodiles. Or as big. Or as dangerous…

The ghosts serve as the narrators. I think the choir…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yup, that’s the one.  The space shuttle is really cool too.  Here are a few pictures I took last time we went (sorry I’m not a great photographer 😉 ):

Haha.  Bald eagles are cool, but even if you think they’re funny, just consider the fact that our national bird might have been the turkey.  I think the bald eagle is much bet…[Read more]

@rochellaine

That’s the one with the Wright flyer and the Spirit of St Louis? It looks really cool.

😛

No not really, because all the Aussie animals are way cooler 😛 we do enjoy mocking them though…especially bald eagles and alligators.

My favourites are Winter’s on the Wing and Wick, but I much prefer the Australian over the Broadway…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, it’s called the Air and Space Museum.  That one is really cool!!  I’ve been there several times.  I think you’d like it a lot.

Oh yes, now I remember.  I’ve heard them called pouches.

Haha. 😛  Are there any American animals that Australians think are cool? 😉

I’m liking The Secret Garden so far. 😀 What’s your favorite song from it?

@rochellaine

All of them! (Totally realistic) but particularly the Air and Space Museum  (is that what its called?)

I believe the scientific word is pouches. That’s what we call them anyway.

I’v read a lot of American and English literature. Australians write very little on the subject of kangaroos but Americans in particular are fascinated by…[Read more]

@seekjustice There are several Smithsonians.  Is there one you’re particularly interested in visiting, or do you just want to go to all of them because they’re cool, free museums? 😉  I don’t think I’ve been to all of them.

Okay, I’m trying to find the Secret Garden soundtrack, then I’ll get to your questionnaire.

Hm, that’s interesting. 😛  Wh…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Because when I come to America, I’d love to go to the Smithsonian 😛

Yep, I finished the book the other day!

Yeah, that’d be great 😀

I haven’t heard of Katy No-Pocket but my sister and I were laughing the other day about the fact that English/Americans refer to kangaroos as having “pockets”.

@seekjustice No, we’re actually moving just a tiny bit closer to DC. 😀  Why the Smithsonian, particularly?

Oh, now I actually have a chance to look that up!  Give me a bit and I’ll listen to a few songs. Have you finished the book yet?

Thanks. 🙂  You should already have my comments in the document, right?  I just have to answer the general que…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Oh are you moving? Hopefully not far from the Smithsonian. I’m listening to The Secret Garden.

hmmm…I forgive you. 😛 And think you and @dekreel are the only ones who haven’t done it, but she didn’t think she would be able to…

Ah, wait, what about @catwing ?

@seekjustice I’d love to join you! 😀

Unfortunately, I can’t stay up really late tonight because we’re moving tomorrow morning so I’ve got to get up early.  But I’ll probably be awake for another hour or two.  What are you listening to?

(Oh, and I realized today that you already finished September, but it’s still September here, so…I forgot t…[Read more]
