Though i know quite a bit about verbs- well different verbs and how to write them. and that nouns have capitals :D I suck at the speaking part though.
*lol* When I told my boyfriend that he actually has to write the nouns with capitals he refused to learn the language He knows a bit through Rammstein (a German rock/metal band which is a lot more popular here than I thought!) and tried to write the lyrics down but he ignored the capitals and so the sentence didn't make sense at all *lol* There's a word, if you write it with a capital it means "vagina", if not, the word means "to seperate"
Oooh I found a BurgerFuel voucher today and I really miss it down here! There's none on the South Island I think and the last time I had a feed there was about 4 months ago... Hmmm I looove the Peanut Piston
I'm thinking about going up North again, for a few weeks to work in a pack house where I've worked before. Would be good money and here is nothing much going on at the moment and I'm getting really lazy and bored and stuff and that's not good as I keep spending money which I shouldn't really do ^^
About the New Zealand Sign Language - do you understand it? I think it's a really good idea to have a week for that, it's not really common where I come from and not many people "speak" (what verb is appropiate?^^) it.
i can sign me me me i can
i'm really rusty i need to find someone to practice with

im in Dunedin.... and to my knowledge theres no burgerfuel here, sad to say to all you fans out there. but we do have burgerking and McD's.
when i was little i learnt some sign language cos i was partly deaf and they thought that i may never regain my hearing, cant sign now thou as i can hear fine.
The BRAVEST thing
I ever did was CONTINUING MY LIFE when I wanted to die.
Oh and I would love to go on and chat live sometime, but I havn't been able to get my chat thingy working properly- it tells me it's not working. Anyone have the same problem and how do you fix it?
If you favor marmite over vegemite. You should know what that is
If you can know what this means..... tahi, rua, toru, wha, rima, ono, whitu, rau, iwi, tekau . 1-10 in Maori
If you can know more then one use for No.8 wire (other then fencing) NZ private joke about fixing everything with no 8 wire
If you know what a ponga tree is and what it represents Ponga (said like punga) is like a fern tree, but the NZ version. Kinda thing.
If you've ever heard of and played with the Buzzy Bee Traditional kiwi wooden toy
If you've experienced the joy of the pohutukawa tree in summer Very pretty, like a bottlebrush.
If Rugby is your sport of choice- whether playing or watching

Chocolate fish Confectionary Edmonds Cookbook. Traditional recipe book, very popular Footrot Flats Book and tv show Hāngi Maori feast type thing, cooked underground Hokey pokey ice-cream Vanilla with bits of nougat in, but in a particular way. Kiwi — person, bird Kiwifruit fruit Paua abalone Pineapple lumps confectionary (yummy) Swanndri outdoor clothes label Stubbies very short shorts, traditionally worn by fat old men. Gumboots wellingtons Tip-Top ice cream. trad. ice cream brand. Watties tomato sauce way better than heinz Four Square supermarkets a bit like ummmm waitrose but not as expensive?
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.
There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.
I used to have probs with chat, if you use a uni internet network sometimes it won't work as you are going through a proxy. Not sure what you can do to fix it unless you're willing to ask someone v gd at computers.
Would like to arrange a chat time, not sure when though.

a live chat meet would be cool. though my life follows a ridiculous timetable and so i don't know when a good time would be lol.
burgerfuel is amazing! how can dunners not have one? hamilton has 2! lol
anyone else get the wel network power discount? STOKED
i have a new flatmate moving in. i'm being awfully bitchy and judging her before i know her, but that's just cause i'm in a bad mood...
i learnt to sign my name from a book. i really want to learn to sign, but there's no point as no one i know thinks its that interesting, which i think is totally a shame. maybe i'll just learn it so i can say stuff to people without them knowing what im saying hehe.
Funny story. A guy at work did something stereotypically male, so i was like f**kn males! he was like what?! the most amazingest fake-save i've ever thought of "I said ducks n whales!"
i'm cold and bored
if you're having chat problems it could be that the java plug in needs updating, could be the connection(speed) or it could be the browser. sometimes if you just keep refreshing it, f5 i think, it'll work. eventually. lol
Gem xo
This battered room I’ve seen before
The broken bones they heal no more, no more
With my last breath I’m choking
Will this ever end? I'm hoping
My world is over one more time
Thanks for the advice on trying to figture out why the chats not working. I'll try suss it out, itd be great to have a live chat sometime.
I havn't heard of burgerfuel, and im from dunedin- but i supose i might have not seen it around before....
Oh and i cant believe people havnt heard of chocolate fish, i guess i just assumed everyone would know! theyre amazingly yummy. I like the baby ones. hehe
