onlensreflex: (this is all your fault)
I know I just posted earlier, but my disappointment cannot be confined to Facebook:

I can't believe we didn't get the '22 World Cup. Only one vote?! How did this happen?!

Where the hell is Qatar? (Yes, I can work Google.) I would have been happy for Japan to host if Aus couldn't but Qatar?

I can't even look forward to '14 because if I have to hear more Brazilians chanting in 2014 it'll be too soon. :| (And as soon as I type that, Pukamon starts going "OLE, OLE OLE OLE" at me. Best partner ever.) Bring on Russia '18.

Any other football (soccer, not American) fans apart from the apparently MIA Daisuke-san? Your thoughts?

EDIT: And in the same day we lost our claim to the pavlova! Today is a sad day for Australia.
onlensreflex: (what just happened?)
One night at work this week I had an Australian guest who wanted a DVD. As we were waiting for it to burn, we got to arguing about AFL, as you do, and eventually she tells me that my Aussie accent's worn off and I sound American. My older sister confirmed it, saying she didn't want to tell me while she was here.

My Japanese friends here say my accent on Japanese is very slightly American, but most of them have a bit of trouble differentiating between different accents in English, so I'm not too worried.

My American workmates say I'm going Canadian, and most of the Canadians agree.

Pukamon and my Aussie flatmates aren't sure; my Kiwi flatmates say I still sound like an Australian and they wish I didn't, but they're Kiwis, what did I really expect.

I may have to start greeting people with "g'day mate" and using "crikey" as my replacement swear word instead of Mickey and talk about throwing another shrimp on the barbie all the time.

Heehee, ash hasn't noticed I've been using his phone! Actually ash hasn't noticed a lot of things lately, he's been all about oh my god eight shopping days left and my ankle is twisted before Christmas and his precious Tsubasa-kun and WE BEAT NEW ZEALAND AT THE CRICKET and I don't know how I feel about the Wallabies getting the old All Blacks' coach. Confusing! No wonder he keeps leaving his techy stuff at home lately.

It's so cold here! At the time of the year we should getting sunburned, not burned on the heater! Okay, so maybe I shouldn't have been playing in the bathtub when Yuka-san got home from work but it's not my fault she works weird hours. It's almost a good thing Megumi-chan thinks I'm a stuffed animal, because it also means she thought I'd look adorable in a sweater! Of course, I do, but that's not the point.

I still haven't found Ash's Christmas present for me! :( Has he suddenly gotten really good at hiding them? Is he getting mine from Australia? Somebody tell meeeeeeeeeee.

Oh Huanglongmon, Megumi-chan is coming what's she doing home from drama club so early

To talk or not to talk? That was the question. )

WE WON THE NETBALL WORLD CUP!! Ha! Take that, New Zealand! Maybe England knocked us out of the Rugby World Cup but we've still got it when it comes to netball!

Anyone wanna deface a giant rugby ball for me? I'd do it myself except, you know, the whole Japan thing.
