Yeh, somewhere in Aussie perhaps?!
I'm American but Ive been living in Western Australia as of December 2005. Before i lived on the good old east coast US like you Virgil. Only in Nothern Virginia
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

But that must have been quite a change for you. Have you picked all the Aussie lingo?
Aussie's have some cool slang.

No, i still have a clear American accent. But i have picked up some slang! Some of it i really caught on to, some of it was jsut plain annoying. And it was a very hard transition, but I plan to travel a lot later on and this was probably good preperation. Some of my favorite Auzzie expressions are:
Chuck a sicky- basically playing hookey by pretending youre sick. I dont use it but its great fun to hear!
Good on ya! - i think very occasioanlly you can hear this one in the US too but enriched with a heavy Auzzie accent its just fabulous! Bassically a more laid back version of Good for you.
The use of "hell" instead of "very"- i try very hard not to use this one, but its used so often in highschool its very difficult not to let it slip sometimes. People would say "that test was hell hard" or "im hell tired". Its gives a certain crude charm to a conversation i think.

I think I would be using "hell" in my words too! That creates sort of an emotional spit-out and produce the exact emotion I am feeling. Ah, that is hell fun!
