Australia BD

[Niluial]

I have noticed there are some Barrow-Downers from Australia. It would be great to meet some of you, oh the dream! So I was thinking.. why not? I come from Sydney but I often travel to Melbourne for business or for family. So is anyone interested?

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Nil, I'm going to be in Sydney for two weeks next Easter (touch wood!) so if we're both still around at that point...I'd love to meet up.

[Niluial]

Next Easter! Oh cool!!! Oh.. I have to be there, then. Oh imagine how much fun it will be… I hope I am not going to still be in South Africa then. Ummm.. where do you come from again?

[Beruthiel]

I'm in Melbourne! Though I doubt my mum would let me meet up with people I met off the internet so... its the thought that counts I suppose smilies/tongue.gif

[Niluial]

Aww.. wish we could meet up. But like you said its the thought that counts! Maybe some other day smilies/wink.gif

[Alkanoonion]

I Live in Adelaide, when I am not on the net I am mostly out fishing. If you are in the area send me a PM.
(PS When meeting strangers go to a public place and take a friend with you to be safe)

[Niluial]

Cool!! I am going to a Weding in Adelaide next year. I'll be staying there for two weeks!

I agree take a friend with.. if you are a girl maybe your husband/boyfriend would be better!!! And public places are the best!!

[Lyra Greenleaf]

where do you come from again?
Just around the corner...London.

[Tarien Ithil]

Nil!! Thanks for making this 'social' thread!!! *calms down*
Well, I'd just like to say that I'd love to meet you, since you already know I live practically next door to you, in Sydney!! So how about it? *puppy dog eyes* smilies/smile.gif

EDIT: Messy spelling! smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Niluial]

Tarien Ithil: I was thinking we could maybe meet next week or this week, but I currently have a planned trip to South Africa (again smilies/rolleyes.gif ) as soon as I get back (I am not to sure when that is) then we could maybe plan on meeting smilies/biggrin.gif… what does that sound like smilies/wink.gif!!

~Niluial

[Gorisil]

Wow, what a coincidence. I originate from Melbourne Australia but I moved to South Africa two years ago. I would love to meet a person from Barrow-Downs. Niluial when will you be in South Africa? Please, I would really love to meet you!

[Niluial]

Gorisil: That would be really cool!! Umm… my flight is on the 18th of June 2003, so that is next week… Wednesday for you. I am sure we could make an arrangement. Oh where is South Africa will you be? I am going to Johannesburg for four days and then I am going to Cape Town for six-ten months… I don’t really know how long. But thanks to computers and the internet I can still study… *few*. Umm.. so we can make a plan I am sure! I do hope you are in Cape Town, it will be way easier to meet up with you. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Everdawn]

Im in sunny Brisbane, although im regularly in Sydney. The next time i will be there is in Late September though. But in 1 1/2 years i will be living in Newtown in sydney..

[Tarien Ithil]

what does that sound like !!

Wow, it sounds brilliant!!
But we could meet whenever, I don't mind. smilies/smile.gif
South Africa?? Cool! That's liek the one place I haven't been! smilies/smile.gif

[Iargwath]

I live in Sydney Australia smilies/smile.gif We have pretty good beaches over here...one of the highlights over here in the summer smilies/wink.gif

[Everdawn]

Yeah, i still reckon the best beaches are in Queensland... By FAR!...Sydney is still tops though..

[Tarien Ithil]

I live in Sydney Australia
Wow, Iargwath, so do I!! smilies/smile.gif
Do you like to surf?? smilies/cool.gif

[Niluial]

I live in Sydney too.. but I think we all knew that. The beaches here are wonderful, like you said.. in Summer. Its such a shame that it is winter or it is around the corner.. near (oh you know what I mean!!).

I would love to meet with you as soon as possible. I am meeting Gorisil on the 30th in Cape Town, I am sure we shall become great friends because I will be there for 10 months.. oh how I shall miss sweet Sydney!

I really want to meet all of you…. smilies/biggrin.gif

P.S. Anyone like my new avatar?

[Gorisil]

Wow Nil I just saw your photograph on Bree you are really gorgeous! I can’t wait to meet you. This is going to be really cool.

[Beruthiel]

You know Niluial, I was going to mention your avatar on the best avatar thread but ofcourse that is closed now... smilies/frown.gif
but the point is I love your avatar!

Back on topic, are there any teens in Melbourne by any chance? Everyone seems to be in Sydney or Brisbane!

[Tarien Ithil]

Yeah. Nil. It's a shame the Best Avatars is closed otherwise you'd have tons of nominations!! smilies/smile.gif

Ahem, OK well back on topic.

Nil: Would you like to meet just before you leave for South Africa or just after?

[Everdawn]

Is anyone else from Brisbane? I seem to be the only one!

[Iargwath]

Wow, Iargwath, so do I!!
Do you like to surf??

Cool stuff Tarien Ithil...where in Sydney do you live? Yeah surfing is cool but pretty hard...but boogie boarding sure is fun smilies/smile.gif

[Tarien Ithil]

Yeah, I agree it is hard at first but you get used to it. smilies/smile.gif

I live not too far away from the grand and glorious Sydney Opera House! (Lucky me smilies/tongue.gif)
Weird, I see its lights every night but I've never been inside...Hmmm..hoping my boyfriend will take me someday!

[Everdawn]

Yay a grand total of 3 of us!
trust the surfers on BD to be australian...

[Tarien Ithil]

Hey, Everdawn, who is the third person who surfs?

That's me, you and ?? smilies/smile.gif

[ June 19, 2003: Message edited by: Tarien Ithil ]

[Everdawn]

Iargwath.. i think..

Ok Boogey boards... jeez i hate them, they always take our waves! I almost got into a fight with a young guy.. (funny seeing a girl like me to do this) my brothers had a talk with him though and everything was fine.

[Iargwath]

Yeah i surf...in the summer mostly. I'm not quite good...but it's a great leisure activity smilies/smile.gif The beach is one of my favourite places to be in the summer...really pleasant smilies/wink.gif

[Gorisil]

Niluial: I thought you said we were meeting on 23rd which is this Sunday. Where did you get the 30th from? I do hope it is not the 30th for I fear I can not wait that long smilies/wink.gif.

[Niluial]

Oh, OI really am sorry Gorisil!!! Yes you are right it is the twenty second! I can’t wait either!!! Well just to let everyone know, I am in South Africa Johannesburg safe and sound and I am leaving for Cape Town tomorrow! I will most certainly tell everyone about my meeting with Gorisil.

Tarien Ithil – I am really sorry but I will only be able to see you in ten months.. smilies/frown.gif!!!

[ June 22, 2003: Message edited by: Niluial ]

[Niluial]

Well I got off the plain yesterday in Cape Town! It really is beautiful here! AIts really cold though. I had an hour trip to Hout Bay and found the house I shall be living in for ten months. It is a gorgeous house. Just big enough for me.. and suits all my needs, fit for a queen!!

It is two hours before I meet Gorisil in Caps Bay! I cannot wait!! I am all ready clothes, shoes, hair just not makeup!! I’l have to put some on… smilies/biggrin.gif!! Well I cannot wait anymore!

[Taralphiel]

*wanders in* whee! Plenty of Sydneysiders!! Me too!

Yah...I shall not bring up the State of Origin in here. I do not want to start a war. But Queensland is a beautiful place I wish I could visit more often. Still, Sydney rocks! smilies/smile.gif

As for meeting people, sure, why not! smilies/smile.gif

[Tarien Ithil]

I will only be able to see you in ten months!

*sits in a corner and weeps*

It's OK, Nil. I'll wiat, in anxiety! smilies/wink.gif

BTW, Gorsil, do you live in Cape Town, South Africa??

[Niluial]

Hello!!!
Well, I just got back from seeing Gorisil. He is in actual fact very nice. We plan on meeting soon again. I got his number and he has got mine we plan on being great friends. It is nice to have a friend in a new country. I felt a little lost until today!!

~Niluial

[Tarien Ithil]

[Everdawn]

[Everdawn]

But you better watch out for next time. smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif

[Tarien Ithil]

Um....Everdawn?

[Silmarien]

Hey Beruthiel I'm a teen and in Melbourne. YAY!!!
I'd like to meet but parents and all. smilies/smile.gif
Anyway I don't know if any of you have seen this sig but I think it's especially applicable to us Aussie's
They say that NewZealand is Middle Earth.. Then that would make Australia the undying land which lies across the sea in the west.
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!!!!

[Beruthiel]

Oh cool Silmarien!! How old are you? I'm 14 this year
I've seen that sig, its so true ain't it?! hehehe...

[Everdawn]

That would be my old sig... Im gald you like it.... smilies/wink.gif

Yeah, if NSW wins the State of Origin, you get your state flag flown on top of the storey Bridge, when QLD wins, we get out state flag flown on the Harbour Bridge. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Aeden]

EVE you goose! im here in Brisbane... Dont worry everyone, im not a stalker, i am her friend. Anyone else from the River City?

[Niluial]

Oh I am missing Australia, South Africa is nice and all but Australia is where I belong… it is only another wonderful nine months here smilies/eek.gif. Gorisil and I are really close he has showed me SO much and taught me allot about South Africa. We plan on moving back to Australia (together)… some time you know settle down in Sydney or some other wonderful Australian place...

[Tarien Ithil]

Only nine months?! Only?! Sorry Nil but I'm DYING to meet you so nine months seems quite a long time! smilies/smile.gif

[Niluial]

Only nine months?! Only?! Sorry Nil but I'm DYING to meet you so nine months seems quite a long time!
Aww… sorry to break it to ya hun but I might have to stay longer thanks to the ring on my finger! Blame Matthew (Gorisil)...

[Tarien Ithil]

[Everdawn]

Wow, Im really happy for you! My own sister just got engaged to some English guy in England, so i know how it must be like for you. smilies/wink.gif

[Everdawn]

Ok, hang on.. You guys just met and are now engaged?.. *sighs* its the stuff fairytales are made of!

[Niluial]

Wow, Im really happy for you! My own sister just got engaged to some English guy in England, so i know how it must be like for you. Oh congratulations on your sister! Yes it is really exciting! I am like speechless all the time! Ok, hang on.. You guys just met and are now engaged?.. *sighs* its the stuff fairytales are made of! Well we met about a months ago and we spoke for about an hour and I just knew (I know this sounds dumb) he was the one. We have spent the past month doing everything together and I never thought such a perfect match existed… but I was truly mistaken!

Anyway the wedding is not going to happen in like 12 – 24 months… I want to finish studying and stuff… I am only 18!

[Lyra Greenleaf]

Wow, fast worker! (That goes for the pair of you). Has someone told Helka? He gets all excited at the thought of BDs romance! So Nil, are you studying in South Africa then? You're doing a degree aren't you?

[Elen Ilúvitauri]

English guy in England

Eve, That was another of your blonde moments!... lol.. OK everyone no need to be scared, i know Eve, my bestest buddy besides Todd.. er Aeden..


Congratz! NIl! nice going!

[Niluial]

Wow, fast worker! (That goes for the pair of you). Well I suppose the saying is true, the moment you meet you know he is the one… its weird!
Has someone told Helka? He gets all excited at the thought of BDs romance! Lol yea he was one of the first people to know… excited? So Nil, are you studying in South Africa then? You're doing a degree aren't you? Well I am not studying really in South Africa, I am actually a qualified teacher in debating so at the moment I am teaching students debating it is an exciting thing. They have extra Law classes over there but I do lots of my studying over the net! Its this new University system called Cambridge… from the Cambridge University. It’s a great system and I am studying with A levels which is a bonus smilies/biggrin.gif.

[Niluial]

When I get back from Australia why don’t we just have one big meeting… so we can all meet each other in one go! Like at a nice restraint in Sydney or some place you know a gathering??? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lyra Greenleaf]

I am studying with A levels which is a bonus
Tell me you're joking! A-Levels are NOT a bonus, they're a curse! And I wasn't even teaching and taking law classes at the same time. You're a mad woman... smilies/wink.gif

[Niluial]

Tell me you're joking! A-Levels are NOT a bonus, they're a curse! And I wasn't even teaching and taking law classes at the same time. You're a mad woman... Yea a real curse! The teaching is fun and I get paid for it smilies/biggrin.gif which covers up the University and Cambridge coasts! Its a great help! Well what can I say.. I have always been a mad woman smilies/wink.gif

[ July 20, 2003: Message edited by: Niluial ]

[Tarien Ithil]

Well what can I say.. I have always been a mad woman

He he! That is so true. Nil the Mad Blonde Woman! smilies/biggrin.gif

And get my arm ripped open like last time????

I dare you to take the risk, Elen! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Everdawn]

Nah, she hardly ever comes anymore, Elen is a chicken, faints at the first sight of blood. God it was funny.

Aussies, i think we can buy TTT before the rest, Aug 23 is our date, i think its 3 days before everyone else.

[Silmarien]

That's really cool. Australia gets something before America! Hooray!!! I don't surf myself but I will be in Queensland for Christmas. PM me if you think we might be able to meet. I probably won't be allowed to but you never know.

[Niluial]

Tarien Ithill – I am going to Australia next week! I will arrive on 20th (Wednesday) in August of course. Would you like to meet sometime because I am going to be in Sydney for the time I am in Australia smilies/biggrin.gif

[Tarien Ithil]
