Ahhh yep, I think I need to stay in here, went out to play with the big kids, and got myself in all sorts of trouble...

I'm not big enough to play out there...geeez, am such an innocent!!

Okaaaaeeeee...what did you go and do Jess? Huh? Tell me, Inquiring MIND wants to know.
I think all is good for me in the other one I was about to get into trouble for.
Kat

I went into that S & D place...I never go in there, but I thought I was all big...and brave...and...and...and I am so not!!!

Ooooo!,… an innocent woman!

Just what I’ve always wanted!

Do they have a Santa Claus at the south pole I can write to in c/o Aussieland?


Does he go by Santa Claus, or Canta Slaus?

You know, being down under and all???

Ohhhh nooooo. You silly woman. That place scares me. (shivers). I went in there once....I soooo ran out of there. There is stuff flying in there that could be catching.
Kat

What’s S & D?

Sodom and Delorah?

Sex and Dating.
Kat

They had a donkey!!!!

How the blue blazes am I meant to answer questions about donkeys and kinks??? Geez I posted some gibberish and ran..straight back to Canta Slaus and The South pole..

Ok I'll just bang on pots and pans with a chopstick in here..

Jessie Lee is into Sex & Dating?

Whoo! Hooo!

I'll have to check to see how many air miles I have on my Mastercard now!

She's probably wearing a Swishy Skirt too!!!

Whoo! Hooo!

And she's hanging upside down from the bottom of the planet too!

I wonder what affect that has on her Swishy Skirt????

A donkey!!? Oh My gosh!!! That is really taking it too far. Run Forest run! I got your back honey. Er uh...which way should I turn??
Kat

Would that be looking up or looking down when your down under?

I give up!

I wonder Jess, do your world globes have Aussie on the top hemisphere? You people feel like your on the top of the world.

Or did you somehow get stuck with our northern conventions???

I've always wanted to go to Australia. I was fascinated with Australia since grade school. Every time we were asked to write a report on a foreign place I would always pick Australia. So I actually learned something about the place as I was growing up. Although, I’ve forgotten most of it now.

The one thing that I’ve always wanted to see is the Magellanic Clouds. We can see Andromeda here and it’s pretty cool. Your entire night sky is completely differnet from our. I think that would be fantastic to see.

So if I ever went to Aussie Kat I’d definitely be looking up! Precisely what I’d see is anyone’s guess.

Abra, we're modest here, we are happy to rest down here, right side up, on the southern side of the ball.

We have so many influences here, from every corner, it feels like a multi -national bazaar, every culture, every colour, every imaginable shape and texture and taste!!!

I think we tried to be arrogant for a minute and portray this bronzed blue eyed blonde 'Aussie', but it got laughed off stage pretty quick.

Australia, to me, is the best of every corner of the world, breaking bread around the one table.

The northern influences????

EVERY INFLUENCE, that's what makes here so wonderful, we're a fairly lazy lot, in our tightly gripped beliefs, we are much more, 'you show me your, I'll show you mine, and make the best of both' kind of people.

The night sky?

Breathtaking, and so very full, and yes I know we share the planets, but stars, I dont know what constellations are different.

Sadly, I have to admit I have not seen the Magellanic Clouds..


And skirts seem to hang the 'right way ' up.

Abra, I'm such a ditz...I just blackled the Magellanic Clouds....duh!!!

It's the ole 'see it so often you don't see it anymore'...and not knowing their names..

We can see them everynight...right above our house!!!

~~~

Your eyes have seen stars
in heavens
that I can only imagine

Your on the far side of a planet
in other time
in a universe
that to me is but a dream

I can touch your eyes with my fingertips
and send my thoughts through cyberspace
to appear upon your glowing orb of crystal

Such magic in our world today
to touch the soul of another
so far away

From an Enchanted Mossy Forest
on an Inland Mountain Range
to the Shore of a Southern Ocean
and a Woman who’s Deranged

Swishy Skirts and Magic Wands
Stars, and Waves, and Flowers
Poetry in cosmic ponds
to pass away the hours

~~~

The answers I seek
I seek for myself
In the fog of my memory
I once knew them
So I go within
And find I am
Simply I am
I simply am
It makes sense to me
That s all that matters
When the world shatters
My senses mixed with emotions
Brewing and steaming in time
To explode upon impact
And I will know..
All that I have known before
Time is but fleeting in a mere mortals sense
And my sense is beyond the normal constraints
Time begins but does it ever end
Who are we to say, we are but a moment in this time
Glittering briefly as a star shines
And in the end, our end, it matters not

Abra, same as you; Australia has been a fantasy of mine. Such a beautiful wondrous place. I have since being a child so wanted to see and be there to experience what it has to offer. My first memory of Australia is seeing Gochos riding their horses across the lands. Such poetry inspiring, Australia is.
If you ever go Abra, I very much want pictures and detail of your ventures.
