Speaking of tribes, we should try to get Robin and Vincenzo in here. Then the whole house would be present. *hands Soupy a cup of tea* Thanks for the tittle, Ko. Now I feel official. *pins a large button on her robes that says "Resident Tea Slave - Fantasia" * ;D

oh, please, a cup of peach tea--there is nothing finer than a hot cuppa tea on a cold day (as she snuggles into her polar fleece bean bag).

*reminisces* Ahh, yeah, elementary was fun. That's cool you went in groups and picked a spot around your school for your "tribe." I remember for me (well, this was when I was still living in Juneau, anyway, cause I had a couple different locations for my elementary cause of moving and all) but for....2nd and 3rd grade I think, we'd have a potluck, and the two homeroom classes during that hour would get together. The 2nd graders were the Raven clan (we made these paper hats earlier in the week for this occasion) and we wore these tribe sheet things (sorry, my memory's crappy, I can't remember what they were called), and the 3rd graders were the Eagle clan, and in sort of welcoming us, they'd dance an Indian dance for us. Then afterwards we would all eat this potluck food that had been prepared for us (the Eagle clan would first serve the raven the clan, and then eat for themselves). I was a part of that for both years, so I got to be in the Raven clan and also in the Eagle clan. I remember when I had to dance, although they gave us really vague instructions, I just sort of hopped around and hoped that I didn't look like an idiot, lol.
Wow, that's a REALLY REALLY old memory. I completely forgot about that until just barely. Forgive me folks, but it feels good to have something like that brought up in my mind again. It was a really cool way of being taught about the Eskimo culture.
*eats a shortbread cookie, then takes another drink of her tea* This is really good tea, Tasia. Wait, did I already say that? *shrugs* Oh well, I don't think it hurts to hear that sort of stuff repeated
*goes into a British accent* Jolly good tea, Tasia darling ;D

*serves up everyone's tea, turning off the kettle* Woo....ok, then. But that's not fair, Emma, because you said an American accent was "Whoa, dude, that's like, totally awesome!" I never say dude. I say y'all, cause I'm from the south. But not everyone from the south does. It all depends on how you were raised.

Hahaha, I want to see one of you guys try and Australian accent or something. It's weird, but sometimes I feel like I can't understand anyone else's English right away and if I hear someone with an accent talk, there's like, a split second when I need to "translate" it to Aussie English before I can understand it.

Tasia, I didn't mean to offend...But one of my best mates, shes american, came other with the army, reasently...and her accent is still really strong
And that is litarlly how she specks, She's from Okalahoma.....
*trys her best to do an aussie accent* I dunno how to do an aussie accent, the best I can do is copy the people of "neighbours" who don't shut up about barbies ooc: hard to judge whether it's good or not!?

When I get excited about something, I say "Dude!" but I don't use the word like a whole lot. I know when I was young I did, because....hmm, not really sure why, but I know I did. "cool" is a typical word a lot of people use.
And as far as an Aussie accent, I know I can't do one, lol. There was this one woman I used to know who carried an Aussie accent, but it sounded more like an English one with a twang to it. Other than that, I imagine aussie accents to be something similar to Steve Irwin's from animal planet. I can sort of mimic him, but not very well.

Yeah, it's funny making fun of others accents..
Bit werid when someone mimics yours... There are American cartoons over here like the simpsons and Fairly of Parents which when they have someone english, make us seem so stuck up and posh... Grrr, it makes everyone think we are really like that..
I must admit, before meeting Beth and coming on TD, I had no idea that there are nice americans, Because the way you lot are sterotyped on our programs and stuff, it makes you all seem country pround and see everyone as lowers......Which is totally wrong, but it's streotyping, just like we are streotyped to be posh ect....

Breakky?? I have NO idea what that means, lol.
Wow, so we're stereotyped to say "We love our country! Yours SUCKS!" am I right? Well, haha, that's funny. That's not in the least how I am, and in fact, I didn't really imagine Brits to be stuck up. Yeah, I guess you guys do get stereotyped as that, but maybe since I've read Harry Potter, that's saved me from thinking that everyone's stuck up or something....*shrugs*

heh. this whole thing strikes me as funny...and a bit annoying. I mean, it's sad that we stereotype like this, because that's not fair to the really great people who don't get what they deserve. Life's not fair. *shrugs* Eh, but what do I know? I'm just the Resident Tea Slave.
