I had never heard of them before :O<br /><br />Haha people like to hear him talk- thats funny, i guess we do have rather a peculiar accent. Whenever I watch an American made film and there is an Aussie on their I'm like "What kind of fake accent is that!" and then I find out its Australian and i realise we do speak so differently. <br /><br />I hate Magpies! We have a family of three lurking in our front yard its horrible, and i am terrified of birds (well really of anything animal that flies- I am deathly afraid of Moths and Butterflies!)...but the ants aren't so bad, then again im not sure what they are like where you live :)<br /><br />What do you mean grocery stores in shopping malls- isn't that normal? Goodness me! How strange :) <br /><br />Ohhh Prince Edward Island- how lovely! I only know of it from Anne of Green Gables and it looks gorgeous!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210949601658438992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128835179440327574.post-38900091456007413442011-07-19T14:06:52.547+10:002011-07-19T14:06:52.547+10:00I'm glad you're looking forward to them!
...I'm glad you're looking forward to them!<br /><br />The author of The Jane Austen Handbook's favorite JA book is Northanger Abbey. She has a website called 'Tilneys and trap-doors', which I never really understood, except that I knew from 'Tilney' it must have something to do with NA. Well, as I was reading the book, I came across that, and it made me laugh.<br />And furthermore, she wrote a sequel to NA called "There Must Be Murder", and that one I really didn't understand...and then Henry said that in the book, and that made me laugh, too. After that discover, I recalled that under the title of the book sometimes it says "A very nice story", and that I ESPECIALLY didn't understand, but when I remembered earlier in the conversation, about the word "nice"...it was fun. =D<br /><br />My brother-in-law is Australian (which explains my sister having lived there), and when he comes here (he actually lives here now) people like hearing him talk. Ha. <br /><br />Kangaroos hopping around across the street was a bit of a novelty, as well as grocery stores in shopping malls! I wasn't very fond of the magpies trying to swoop us, though...and the ants are meaner there! And no use of pennies (1 cent pieces)! That was rather odd to me.<br /><br />I want to go to Ireland and it would be so fun to go to England and see all the JA places of interest! Also I would like to go to Prince Edward Island, Canada.<br /><br />Oh my. Sorry for rattling on. And sorry if some of that didn't make sense!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128835179440327574.post-20805298702978012102011-07-19T13:21:33.484+10:002011-07-19T13:21:33.484+10:00I love that quote, it my favourite, thats why I ca...I love that quote, it my favourite, thats why I called my blog after it :)<br /><br />I am so glad that you are going to do posts for Northanger, ohh and I look forward to the Persuasion ones too!<br /><br />Yes, I live in Australia :) I have never really thought about it but I supose most people on here who blog live in America- well that I have come across I think.<br /><br />You have been to Australia! thats so awesome! I would like to travel someday. I desperatly want to go to Ireland and to Bath in England and maybe to America too :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210949601658438992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128835179440327574.post-54466894270934832372011-07-19T12:50:11.143+10:002011-07-19T12:50:11.143+10:00I really like the narration in Northanger Abbey. I...I really like the narration in Northanger Abbey. It makes me sort of glad I've read the other JA books first, because now I'm used to her humor, so I can understand the irony. :)<br />The quote that your blog begins with, is one of my favorites.<br /><br />Yes, I will. Although I'm starting Persuasion posts next week, and I'll have to finish those before I start NA.<br /><br />You live in Australia?! I just saw that. I've been there twice, because my sister and her family used to live there. :) It's funny, the first time I ever went on an airplane was a very long flight! ;-) I thought 'twas fun, though.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128835179440327574.post-82006847092715000702011-07-19T10:54:13.480+10:002011-07-19T10:54:13.480+10:00Yay!

I remember thinking, in the first few chapters after Catherine met him, that I was just as anxious to see him again as she was!<br />He has some great quotes.<br /><br />Oh, the whole book has some great quotes. I wrote down 5 just from the first chapter!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-128835179440327574.post-41903936417909991132011-07-19T09:53:14.862+10:002011-07-19T09:53:14.862+10:00Ahaha Melvin!

I never like it when people c..."Missie",<br /><br />I never like it when people call me Mel (although they generally don't). It's usually short for Melissa anyhow, and that's not my name. (Or Melvin! ha ha!)<br /><br />I thought you might like to know that I'm reading Northanger Abbey, and having a great time. Well, you might not care, but I'm telling you anyways.

I haven't listened to that much music by The Fray and TobyMac, but I've heard they're great artists. Mel doesn't sound masculine, at least to me. But I like how Missie sounds, too. :)Jujubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625993495744395314noreply@blogger.com
