Heh heh. If you're hungry Rue, you could always come to breakfast in m'room. Or I'll just change my name to Resident Tea Slave and make dinner. ((pssst....come conspire with us in the secret commons))

stupid sarcasm...
No, that's quite alright dear. I'll do it myself, you just relax and have some tea. *hands her a cup. as she is getting out a frying pan, she crosses "Tea" off of her badge, so it reads "Resident Tea Slave"* Stir Fry ok? I make it with Soy Sauce and Teriaki. It's quite yummy. ;D

Cool... well I'm sure we could whip up something to satiate Rue's growling stomach or something...
Did you guys want rice with the stir fry? We'll have to make rice in the pot or somethiing as well, becuase I don't have one of those nifty rice-cooking thingers.

Hm... I don't know if Ko's room allows servitude... you wanna all cook the dinner together? Tasia, you can make the stirfry, since you've got a knack for it. I can make really good fruit salad. ;D I don't know how well stirfry goes with fruit salad, but it can be the deserty portion... We still need someone to make the rice. And anything else?
Tasia, thanks for inviting me to your room. But I've got 16 days of school left, and so many essays to write in that time, so I don't want to be participating in another thread yet. But in 16 days I'd love to have breakfast in your room.
Hey, Emma, so I told my sister that someone had thought I was from England, and she said that that had once happened to her too. She was a chaperone on a museum trip with my brother's school, and she was talking to another chaperone, some mom of a kid who had lived in South America or something. And the woman was all like, "You're British, right? You're also from another country?"

What, so you can be British AND not from another country if you're in the USA?
Ummm, I could do some rice or noodles or something to go with that stir-fry or something. Or maybe make some juice or something... unless you guys drink tea with your dinner?

*at the words juice, moira's ears perk up* Oooh, applejuice! I'll make some of that! That's my favourite juice in the whole world *gets up and opens the freezer part of the fridge. Magically, there are a couple cans of frozen apple juice in there. Moira gets them out, while fishing in the cubboards for some pitchers, and begins to fill them up with water from the sink*

*hands a glass to Emma* There ya go:) Do you want ice in it? How about everyone else?
Yeah, I think when I watch foreign shows too, the accent isn't what makes it seem strange, it's more like the type of words they use to describe things. I think that's what creates the gap, and the fact that I think in all languages and dialects, when the person starts talking really fast and you're not used to it....it can be pretty hard to understand

I have issues with accents sometimes, just because I know that I have a kind of weird one myself, and I'm conscious of people saying "what?!" a lot when I talk. I also talk really fast which doesn't help.
(Moira, juice comes in cans for you? )

I went in to the eye doctor the other day to get contacts, and the woman asking me questions spoke good english, but carried a spanish accent, so it was kind of hard to make out just what ALL she said, and she was telling me some stuff that this coupon I came in with didn't talk about, so I knew she was saying something important, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was. I hoped that she wouldn't be the one showing me how to put my contacts in, because I knew I was gonna have to majorly concentrate, but thankfully I got the other person working there. whew:)
'ko, well, with frozen juice, it comes in cans over here, and that's what I was referring to. We get the usual juice that comes in the bottles and the juice boxes and stuff like that as well, but the frozen kind come in cans.

Yeah, a lot of times British, American, and Australian accents all sort of meld together for me, to the point where I might watch a movie or something that was made with a British accent, and I won't even notice. For a while I was really bad with British and Australian, and I couldn't tell them apart if I tried, but now I've fixed myself up a bit. So, Emma, in the Harry Potter movies, do they speak the kind of British that you do? I know there are tons and tons of variations, but do they sound... average, I guess?
Yeah, frozen juice is pretty cool because it stores really easily. It also tastes pretty good a lot of the time. I haven't made it in a really long time, so I might be completely wrong about this, but I think it's just really condensed juice, so then you unfreeze it and mix it with a bunch of water. You can ask Nialle though, since s/he makes it a lot. ;D It comes in containers like this:
