Happy Australia day

[almosee]

So in the interest of being festive, on this great and wonderful day of Time and A Half Wages that is known as Australia day, I present to you, a fascinating* discussion on my apparent accent. A discussion which, somehow, ends up with a brief discussion of one of my fanfic beefs**.

If you're not interested in that, then Five*** demands you open the

South African! That explains everything. I've got you now!!

And at least you don't have people assess the colour of your skin and decide what your nationality is before you even get a chance to open your mouth. Although I do know the feeling about having to argue with them once you've attempted to correct them.

*whines* But I dun wanna be South African, I don't know anything about that country at all, except what I learned watching 'Power of One'.

That's very true and I can't imagine how rough that sometimes makes things. Especially when people make stupid, judgment based assumptions on it. God, at least give you time to open you're mouth, they'll have plenty of time to make judgment based assumptions then *nyuck nyuck nyuck*.

South african really? I wouldn't have thought of that. I've been stated as having an english one before. maybe that's because of the way i've taken up how they pronounce things like 'basket' or 'yoghurt'.

it's fun!

PS paint conservation ain't fun and it isn't interesing (making your paint from scratch is though) 3 more days and the course is over!

Also how you pronounce 'Lola' :D

How can the discussion not be interesting? We learned there was a colour called 'eau de neil', if I manage to get half that much knowledge out of a class I know it's been a success.
On a more serious note, you enjoying it?
