That's probably about the only similarity.
Except we both speak English. And we've probably stolen a lot of inventions and stuff from you guys, because we tend to do that rather than come up with anything of our own.
We went to the hospital for a Biology workshop, learning about diseases and communication (structure and function of the eye/ear and etc). It was mildly interesting, but mostly disturbing.
I actually would love to go and look for Nessie some day, for real. I think it would be so cool. No idea what I'd do if I found it though.
Well, if you share your writing with me, I promise not to tear it apart. I doubt anything you write could be less than great anyway.
My writings are... well, it depends. All of them reflect parts of me, I guess. I think most writers do that, put parts of themselves into all their characters. Writing for me is a way to sort things out and learn more about myself, actually, even though it may not seem like that to anyone reading them.
I generally don't share stories until they're finished, which never happens, so...
I do share poetry fairly often though, but at heart I prefer stories.
I can't wear heels. I have no balance.
I've worn heels in public all of about once, for a formal a couple of years ago. But I don't really go out much, and when I do I wear trackies or jeans or something, so heels would looke a little strange.
Nope, we don't get raccoons or skunks, far as I know. And to be another emu, you just kind of... well, it's hard to explain in words, but basically form your hand into a beak and pretend to peck at it.
(I'd laugh if you were trying to do that right now.
)
Actually, I don't know what your anthem is either. I know ours, Canada's, and Israel's, but that's about it.
Also, turns out we do have Outback Steakhouse here. I went to the city on the weekend and we drove past one. Who knew?
Automatic toilets... living the good life there, I see.
The buttons on ours are usually on top of the cistern... I'm not sure where the handles would be on yours. For some reason, when watching TV shows and movies about America, I don't pay attention to toilets that much.
Yeah, that's it. I didn't know what other words you guys use. I was going to say something like 'plastered' or 'smashed' but I wasn't sure if those would make any more sense.
Exactly. There've been campaigns and such to try and raise the drinking age here (not sure if used to be 21 and they want to change it back, or if it's never been that high but they want to change it), but nothing's happened, so that's good.
Yes, I am. I was going to go this year but my mother and sister were in Europe at the time and my dad was busy, so I had no way of getting there.
Plus I didn't want to go on my own.
Yeah, well, we had one, thought it was broken, bought another one, realised the first one wasn't broken, so kept both.
I'm glad I'm not the only one whose mind's in the gutter. The other day in class we were watching a documentary about an architect who wanted his 'erection' to be bigger than anyone else's. He was talking about his building, but still...
