Alright, I’m bored and should be doing homework buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut…oh well.

Australian is like a whole separate language from English (yes, we have that much slang and there actually were over 200 native languages of Australia. Unfortunately only about 50 are still spoken and no, I don’t speak any of them -_-). So….
