I AM OBSESSED WITH HUMANS OF NEW YORK!
Some of the stories and blurbs he adds with the photographs he takes pull at my heart strings so poetically.
You sound very, very mature to have the kind of view points you've mentioned above. I'd like to say that the place I'm living in currently is accepting of people but I feel as if it's so backwards and stuck in the 40's/50's in regards to views and opinions that it's quite disturbing.
I doubt other countries laugh at the USA - trust me, they are too busy trying to pick themselves up off the floor with how much of a joke Australia is.

Yass c: I was watching a soap opera with my mom earlier today called The Bold and Beautiful and one character is from Australia. Her name is Ivy Forrester, and I'm in love with her accent. I'm just obsessed with language and how people pronounce certain words or phrases. One time I gave a lady directions to the Upper West Side and I soon learned she was British. She called me dearie and it was so sweet.
I want to visit Sydney someday. I had a friend that lived there for a bit until he moved to Jarkata.
@yellowdiamonds
Ugh it seriously bloody took me like 15 minutes to sign back into this website so I am so, so sorry about the late reply.
The English pronounce things so proper. Even their cockney slang is nicer than the way Aussie's pronounce things. We drop letters and add them in where they aren't needed and kind of just make our own rules up when it comes to grammar.
Sydney is lovely. I lived there for 6 months when my mothers work too the family there. I'm originally from Melbourne and i have a love/hate relationship with the place.
@rosepetal
I see. I was watching a movie called The Kingsmen before with my dad and The British people spoke properly even when they were mad. I apologize in advance if I fall asleep on you love. It won't be intentional. It probably past 3 am and I'm starting to feel my eyes get heavy
but I'm really into this late night/afternoon conversation we're having. I love how Australia is its own continent. I think that's really cool :)
@yellowdiamonds
haha, it's cool. i'm surprised you haven't fallen asleep now.
UGHHHHHHHHHH! COLIN FIRTH! fuck me blind that man and his voice are perfection.
The English just seem so in their own sense of perfect. My best friend's from Cornwall and i get him angry all the time so i can hear him swear. Their insults are amazing. You feel like the dictionary is punching you in the face. That was the weirdest analogy I've ever used.
Yeah, being it's one little island is odd. I mean it's nice, but travelling to anywhere else in the world is such a pain. For example Australia to LA is 15 hours with a non-stop flight. To get to Europe you're looking at 24 hours and that doesn't take into consideration time zone changes, that's just travel. When I went to Austria last it took 27 hours to get back home :/
I've always thought of the states as being a little like Europe. Each state has it's own kind of personality (or at least the ones I've been to I think do) so you can travel somewhere and feel that you've moved into another city whilst Australia - apart from desert and suburbia is pretty much the same.
@rosepetal
Colin Firth is like a dream come true. I wonder what other films that boy plays in. I've never really left the east coast. The farthest I've been is North Carolina since I have a lot of family down there. I wish I had a relative I was close with that lived in another country so that I could visit him or her.
@rosepetal
I did and I'm almost done writing the chapter. I want to have the update posted for Ink before the 27th (: I was relieved that I didn't delete any words in the document so I just picked up where I left off.
@yellowdiamonds
Hooray! I can't wait to read it. I bet it will be extra special now knowing the drama you went through to retrieve it
@rosepetal
I got it lol. There's this photographer who has a blog called Humans of New York, and I think he captures the people who live here so accurately. Living in a place where there's a lot of diversity is definitely a benefit to the type of mindset you develop. I'm lucky to live in a place that's accepting of other people though I have to say this past year has been rough. Too many injustices going on and it worries me.
I bet all the other countries at the United Nations conferences laugh at Americans for we still can't seem to get past the racial barriers slavery has caused.
