Hi ya from Ontario, Canada!

Bluerain22 · Post by **Bluerain22** » Tue Sep 01, 2009 7:12 am

Hi ya!

I found this site while Googling information on Wills and I've already met someone (Odie) who could answer my question. =D

I'm 25, born and raised in Ontario, Canada. I've been online since I was 12. A few words/phrases to describe me are: Procrastinator, Anglophile, Harry Potter Enthusiast, Movie Lover. I Google everything and encourage spontaneous singing/dancing.

I'm not sure how often I'll post on here. I go through phases, right now I'm into Twitter. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I better get back to work! Try not to distract me to much =P

~Amanda

Yes, I have been in Ireland for 10 years, but I am from Toronto. I have been to Ottawa, great city.

I have driven from Toronto to Vancouver making my way all the way across highway 1.

I have driven from Toronto right out around the East Coast including PEI (although I have never managed to get to Newfoundland/Labrador).

I worked in Banff, and lived on Vancouver Island (for a year).

I love Canada, it is a beautiful country full of fantastic people. Glad to meet you!

Because he's acquired an Irish accent? Damn that would be sexy

But then again, I like all UK accents. Note To Self: Fall in love with someone from England and have adorable English babies. :-4

I sort of did that... G'day from Oz... dunno about the 'adorable' bit - bablies squawk the same with any accent, I've found.

I do like the fact you cause people to sing and dance. I get accused of that somehow too. But I'm blonde so it goes with the territory. :sneaky: Anyway welcome to the Garden.

I used to babysit for a couple from Australia who were here on a work exchange, very nice couple. I remember they thought our cheese was a funny colour and soothers are called dummies (which I thought was cute). Have you ever been to Canada?

Babies cry, fact...but when they start talking in a posh English accent, that's ADORABLE

lol

Someone calls them pacifiers too. Americans? What about the phrase 'spit the dummy' - isn't that common everywhere where English is sort of spoken?

We call diapers nappies too.. :sneaky:

I've never been to Ottawa. Have had a few adventures in Vancouver, stayed with a friend on Vancouver Island, drove to Kamloops and Whistler, and got the train to Edmonton, Alberta where I have another friend. Skied Silver Star one year. So I've only sketchily been to Canada. Would like to visit Quebec one day and see the East Coast too.

Wow! I think you may have already done more when I have, and I live here

I don't think I have ever heard the phrase 'spit the dummy' and yes, I do believe some Americans call it a Pacifier. I've also heard of nappies.

When you go to Quebec, don't let any of them fool you into thinking they don't speak English...most likely they do!! hehe

No, that is just EVIL! As of this week, my father (which also means me to some extent) are on a diabetic and low sodium diet. Brownies are a NO NO... unless of course someones taken all the goodness out of them and then... lucky us, we can eat them :-5
