Things you don’t care to know about Australia but I’m telling you anyway

First – I should be ASLEEP!!! But I’m not because I’m going to change majors and it’s stressing me out. So in an attempt to bore myself to sleep :) here are some things I’m choosing to tell you.

  1. The forecast is the same everyday, “If you don’t want it to rain it probably will.”
  2. The use of the word “the” is strictly prohibited when referring to Hospital. You are released from Hospital. You are admitted to Hospital. You should go to Hospital. Your friend is dying in Hospital.
  3. There are no chocolate chips here. Instead they sell chocolate wax and call them “melts.”
  4. There are two cats trying to kill each other outside my window and it’s making me sick to listen to them.
  5. They add wheat to EVERYTHING!!! Even herbal tea.
  6. Aussie Soap Operas are so horrible that you find yourself watching in amazement. How can people watch it outside of pure astonishment?
  7. And last, Ghost Whisperer makes me cry every time I watch it.

Happy Thursday! I’m off to bed.

    Oddly enough Australian soap operas are more popular in Britain and New Zealand, pretty much the only reason they’re on at all.

    1. I hope you packed your rubbers. And I do mean the boot kind.

    2. Tit for Tat: we don’t say The Barbeque, do we?

    3. Time to switch to caramel as the drug of choice.

    4. Umm..I don’t think they’re fighting. Check in a few minutes and see if one is leaning back with a big smile and a lit cigarette.

    5. I am guessing you are regular. Like clockwork. Don’t underestimate the joys of roughage…consider the alternative.

    6. Because maybe Russel Crowe will make a guest appearance?

    7. Does that mean you “boo-hoo?”

    omgosh – LOL!!! Lorrie that made me laugh. Good points all around. ;)
