Greetings from way across the ditch!

[PowerToChange30]

Hi everyone, my name is Lauren, and I'm from New Zealand. You're probably wondering what a Kiwi like me is doing on the US message board ... I have great interest in American issues and politics, and eventually wish to move there after completely my education and recieving my law degree.
Just thought I'd introduce myself.

 

[Manuel]

Welcome aboard Lauren!

 

[PowerToChange30]

Thanks. ^^

 

[jla1178]

A Kiwi!!!!

 

[editec]

You eventually want to move here?

Damn.

I knew this would happen when the word got out that I was divorced.

Now, bright young beautiful women from all over the world have got their hopes up again.

I just hope our immigration department is ready for the inflows of hopefuls.

Stop torturing yourself PTC30.

I've not worth it, believe me.

Oh okay...

let me know when you get here and if I can squeeze you into my busy, busy social life, I'll give you a chance to grab the golden ring that is editec.

But don't get your hopes up, woman.

I can't be held responsible for the crushing disappointment you'll probably feel when you finally have to settle for Brad Pitt or whomsoever you finally settle for.

 

[strollingbones]

lol@edit the golden ring is in his nose.....welcome aboard the ship of fools....

 

[dilloduck]

We already got a Kiwi but hopefully you ain't like him.
Welcome !

Ha, cheers at the attempt at Maori, by my ancestry is German and I'm as white as they come, haha.

Also; Editic or w/e ... you make me very scared.

Every time I've been there I get greeted (usually at a conference) by pakeha speaking Maori. It's quite impressive

 

[PowerToChange30]

Yeah, it is, really. xD It's so tryhard. Representing the culture our ancestor's tried to hard to kill. And my old school (private Catholic schools, shout out!) used to do half our masses in Maori, even though our school had a Maori student population of exactly 0.
Thank you for reading that interesting little fact-let.
*proceeds to hug all the above posters*

You're better than that, PTC.

lol... but can you do a Haka?

welcome aboard. we have another kiwi here, too. what part of NZ are you in? (if you don't mind, of course).

 

[jla1178]

My psychic powers say somewhere on the north island.

Welcome to the Party, from a fellow International!

Nope, I can't. They tried to teach my entire class to do it, however. I refused, because the Haka is a war dance is not meant to be performed by women, so I claimed it would be culturally insensitive for me to do so. And ended up recieving detention for non-participation.
And I'm in the South Island. That's as much as you get, hah.
