clo_againFlatmate that's going to Australia for a year to study is leaving Friday and I'm still putting together a quick list of words and things she should know, via the Aussies on my f-list. Are there any words or expressions you can think of that I could put in? I don't know, like the Americans call a 'pavement' a 'sidewalk' - what do you call in Oz? Anything like that. :)

^__^ Thank you. Roger being pretty always makes me smile too. He's so huggable. *hugs him*

Date: 2005-06-23 03:03 pm (UTC)Added. *giggles* She liked it. ^__^ And ngh, sitting here in British heat is bad enough for me. o_O I think I'm definitely a cold weather creature.
Mmmmmmm... *imagines Rogerer and his boyfriend in her bed* Now that's a lickable image. *licks it*
