you HAVE to see that movie!! apparently it's like a "major australian film" or whatever, even if it is kinda old... :D
i saw "the castle"...thats the one with eric bana right? i thought it was okay, it reminded me of this movie called "trainspotting" have you ever seen that? its a british movie.

Yep. Eric Bana's in it, though he is not a main character.
That movie is so funny!!!!!!

And Regan, im from Mitcham.

ok- to start off with, being different IS awesome x a billion.
and Amelia*annabeth&percy*sittin in a tree*, thats so CUTE- but sad.
that gesture is one of the many ways to flip someone.
the word POMMY can be quite offensive to some people, but might i add, the word it self is AWESOME and we are in no way offending my friend when we use it as her nick-name.
she actually likes it ^-^
(i came up with it)

oh oh oh, and i'm so honored that you lov brisses.
it is pretty awesome! XD

is that a suburb of adelaide?

no, brisbane is brisbane- it is the capital of Queensland.
Adelaide is the capital of South Australia- further down :D
don't worry, i'm just as bad with geography

no, i was replying to message #220, about mitcham.
i think we posted our replies at the same time :D

good, then its decided: we like "pommy" :P it just sounds like a funny word!
i like get annoyed when im abroad and people say "yank" or "yankee" when referring to americans. FROWNY FACE! yankees are *northern* americans, and i am not a yankee! im a californian and a southerner, but NOT a yankee! but yeah the first time i went to england everyone was like "ohh its a yank!" and i was like "where? where's the yank?" no one did in australia, though :D
i heard someone use the word (and i may not be spelling this correctly) "dinkum" he said "im a dinkum " is that a word? what does it mean?

... i have no idea- isn't that sad and i'm a true aussie, so said...
but i do know it is a catch phase, like oh 'fair dinkum' and so on.
heres something off wiki:

'Australians use a variety of terms to refer to people. These terms may indicate such things as the person's ethnicity, the place where the person resides, the social status of the person, the person's behaviour, etc. Many of these words occur in other English dialects, especially New Zealand English, whilst others are unique to Australian English. Some of these words were once heard to be derogatory, but many now have been adopted. For example, English are described as 'Poms' or 'Pommy'; New Zealanders are 'Kiwis' after their native bird; Italians are sometimes referred to as 'wogs' and this is sometimes still used as an insult.'

there ya go, something aussie... and its BESIDES the point that wiki isn't aussie :S

Amelia: yes.

I just got back from seeing THE LOVELY BONES. It was great!

i know, i saw it the day before yesturday and yeah, it was great!!!
at times me and friends were like, AHHHH, punch, punch... or... GET OUT OF THERE YOU IDIOT, CAN'T YOU TELL HE"S DOWN STARIS!!! GET UNDER THE BED!!! XD
anyway, yeah, it was good but pommy reckoned that the ending, the ice berg should have got his eye instead of just his head lol...
were final destination fans!!! ^-^

i liked all the special effects, but most people didnt :S and i appreciate how pj seemed to "clean up" the story...i didnt read the book but my cousin said that the movie's a lot better than the book.
