This is just to wish my Australian fellow Escapists a Happy Australia Day! [http://www.australiaday.org.au/]

This always makes me laugh*






*to those with no sense of irony: It's a satire!

I'm just glad all those god awful annoying commercials will now go away.

Also, that video isn't satire; it's true...unfortunately.

If any foreigners need somewhere to hide for the next 24 hours, let me know.

But yes seriously, I do not like Australia day. I'm spending it hiding indoors, watching foreign films and then going to the movies. I'm certainly staying out of the city today, that's for sure.
But seriously as much as I love that video, it is sadly really accurate about the types of things that go on every Australia day that it also kind of makes me sad.

Well I just went out in the nice 40c weather on a bike...and ran out of water. X_X

Good thing I walked back or I would of died in that weather, also I am gonna go out to the Swan river to see the fireworks with the family, hopefully they won't take the bikes because then I'll stay behind.

Happy holidays fellow Aussies.

Sadly people do talk like that in australia. I'm just going to sit here and have some soup, watch youtube. The amount of douchebags and racists in this country is very annoying.

Love Australia, spent the day eating, drinking, having nerf fights and having an Australia day race (Up a hill with a drink in you hand wearing flip-flops, if it was a tie it was a skulling contest to see who could finish their drink first) good times, also Triple J Hottest 100 Awwwwww yeah.

First of all, I went out to get some snacks, soft drink and etc for tonight...

Let's say...I did think of that through halfway of the return trip. The worst part is that my best mate wasn't home (I pass it when I go back home), so I had to go without a drink in this damn weather for a long time.

I drank way too much water when I came back. >_<

Hopefully it will be cooler tonight or I will be doomed! (And if my family take the bikes...I will try to see it from my room.)

Well I would, because I got out of going down there, I can see them perfectly fine from my room anyhow.

Still I hope they won't cancel them. :(

I know what you mean. But, I can tolerate it to an extent today.

People who do that shit on ANZAC Day...fucking hell, that's not right.

Didn't really want to bother.

I already can see it from my room's balcony, so why go when I can see them from the comfort of my balcony, with all of the bonuses such as having everything near by including drinks and a few treats.

Meh, my day wasn't special or changed anyway... in fact it was worse.

I sat at home doing an assignment with No-one home and did nothing else the entire day... plus it rained for about half the morning.

Happy Australia Day my Aussie cuzzies. Hope your Prime Minister gets her shoe back.

I work for an Aussie company so Australia Day is always great - there's no work to do but since it's not a public holiday in NZ I just get paid for wasting time on the Internet.

Bloody holiday. Make people think they're entitled to a day off, leaving me to do extra work. I'm not even sure if I get paid any differently...

Other than that, yay Australia! Although, can we come up with something new to chant, rather than "Oi Oi Oi"? It's too much like "USA! USA!" for my tastes...
