Blue Liquid, Family Gatherings and other Crazy Stuff!!

Yesterday, my mom's cousin from Australia and her husband came over, along with all my mom's family. It was lots of fun! It was cool to talk to people from the other side of the world and hear what it is like over there. It was also really nice to see some of my cousins who I hadn't seen in AGES! (actually only a few months! but it seemed like ages). They live only 40 minutes away we just never see each other :(.

Speaking of cousins, (and this is where the blue liquid comes in! lol), I was sitting on this bench in my house with like two ppl in between me and my little cousin who is only two on the end. She had been playing with this squishy green and pink frog which my sixteen year old cousin had also been playing with. Well, she squished it again and poof! The next thing you knew blue liquid covered my shirt and jeans! UGGH!!! It was really annoying. Everyone started laughing and I went and changed. I said like nothing, although I wasn't really mad I was pretty annoyed. I mean why do those things always have to happen to ME of all ppl? We went to the petting Zoo a couple years ago and of course I was the only one who wanted to hold the hamster and of course he promptly bit me!

But, please don't get me wrong cousins I still LOVE you guys to pieces! Same with all the other family members. I'm not mad at all. It was just a weird, and somewhat annoying experience!

Facts About Australia (that I learned from my first cousin-once-removed!):
-In Australia, highschool starts in grade 7! So if I lived there I would be in year 3 of highschool.
-Their bills are differant shapes and are made of plastic.
-They don't have pennies! When I asked them why they said that it was too much work to count a bunch of pennies they just round. i.e..if something costs $1.99 you pay $2.00 or of its $ 1.97 you pay $ 1.95 and so on!!
-They have a fifty cent piece
-They have Christmas and New Years in the Summer!
-Their big sports are Rugby Union, Rugby League, and something else...I can't remember lol.

Interesting stuff eh?

It kind of makes me want to visit. It sounds soo cool. I also want to go back to Manitoba. Oh and I'd love to go to New York, Italy, or Greece too =)

Oh and guess what? I've learned all of my lines for Beauty And The Beast! I've only had my script for just over a week and I have 51 lines! Yay, finally! I've been waiting soo long to get a part with lines!! I'm really excited because I thought Cogsworth would only have like 10 or 20 lines since we're doing the Junior Show. Its not the biggest part but I'm still really happy. Now I just have to practice more to get it more English Gentleman like and stuff.


Bye!
