I think I head a radio show with a guy who had a really Canadian accent once. It scared me.

[Ithilien]

I think we established that!

So whereabouts in Canada is everyone from?

[she-elfwarrior19]

I AM CANADIAN

[NarniaNews.Net]

cool good for you

[canadianXgirl25]

Atlantic Canadian, right here! Whoo, gotta represent! lol..

[EveningStar]

Although I'm not Canadian, I have friends there. One of the funniest things I've seen on the road was when Dave came here from Manitoba in his car and went on a day trip with me and a couple of friends to the Nashville Zoo.

Jarrod practically flipped out when he saw HOW FAST Dave was driving. "Slow DOWN, man! You're going over A HUNDRED!"

The speedometer was in KPH not MPH. Dave still gets jokes about his "reckless driving" incident. :D

[CaesarSalad]

I'm Canadian. From Manitoba (rather dull). I like Canada. Except for the cold winters and mosquitoes, it's nice. Especially when you're smack in the middle. I don't have to worry about any of those crazy storms people on the coast get.

[Tooks]

i live near toronto, in mississauga! canadas nice! but really boring at times.... i rather live in europe rite now cuz the FIFA world cup is coming! but canada isn't part of that!

[Tooks]

I'm glad there are Canadians here!

Anyone speak french?
me!! i speak french!! even though im in ontario...the ppl in quebec start it in JK i think.......... i have an average of 97% in french and im mighty proud of it!

did someone say that canadians have accents?? i never knew that.....

[Lady-of-the-Lion's-Mane]

Yes, they do. A family at my old church were from Canada and my English teacher is, and they all had a very slight accent. Different vowel pronunciation, I think.

[Ithilien]

Oh. I thought only people on the West Coast had slight accents. But then again, don't we all have accents when put up against the British?

[langtab]

im canadian, im from the east coast, "home of the innocence" :p

[langtab]

canadianXgirl25 Saint John, NB! I goto school in Fredericton! I didnt think there were other Maritimers on here :p

[Ithilien]

Sorry, by West Coast I meant East coast. So, do you think you have an accent?

[~Narnia 4 ever~]

I'm glad there are Canadians here!

Anyone speak french?
i speak French quite fluently. I am in my first year of French immersion, but it is quite fun and I am doing quite well :)

[langtab]

Do I think I have an accent... yes. Ive been told by many people I have an accent. I never knew Nova Scotians had accents before someone told me though.

[redsoxfreak01]

I haven't got an accent, I don't think. Well, I guess I do for British people.

[redsoxfreak01]

I've been to Canada. In March I went to Vancouver. I am going again this summer!

Yippee! Vancouver! That's where I live!! Hehe. If you ever want a vacation with plenty of rain: come to Vancouver!! :p
Any other BC people on here?

[~Narnia 4 ever~]

[redsoxfreak01]

It's funny how when I go to the US for vacation, I accidentaly use Canadian terms and people have no clue what I mean. Such as calling a couch a "chesterfield" or a napkin a "serviette" like my grandparents when they went to Hawaii. Or when my mum said jam instead of jelly and the person stared at her like she was an alien. :)
Once at McDonalds in the US, I accidentaly asked for a Smartie McFlurrie, forgetting that American "smarties" are just like Rockets. Haha. The lady at the counter looked apalled. :) Always remember to ask for M&Ms when you go to the US. :)

I'm American and I wouldn't think it was weird if someone said jam. Most people here use the words jam and jelly interchangeably.

[~Narnia 4 ever~]

Hockey's my game (I feel so Canadian right now ;) )!!! I cheer for the (Ottawa) Sens, but in their game last night, they lost 7-2 :eek: !!! Sorry to anyone out there, but I'll NEVER cheer for the Leafs (my 2 uncles do and constantly rub it in my face when Sens lose really bad, like last night)

[PrinceOfTheWest]

In just about fou weeks, my wife and I will be heading to Ontario for our winter getaway. About a week in delightful Stratford during the off-season, when there are no plays but the pace is slow and the accommodations are cut-rate. We the time of doing just about nothing - quite a difference from our hectic rest of the year!

[Red Roses]

oh wow. southern ontario! the south part of ontario

[PrinceOfTheWest]

[Red Roses]

[PrinceOfTheWest]

gaby.... you live in souther ontario
so do i. i can c the u.s. canada border from my bedroom window.

[hello mcfly]

really??? Wooow, thats so awesome! I cant, I can only see my neighborhood...:(

[PrinceOfTheWest]

Across which body of water do you look to see the border?

[Red Roses]

the detroit river

[PrinceOfTheWest]

We live very close - I look across the St. Clair River to see Canada.

[Red Roses]

hmm. i've heard of st clair lake. its really close 2 where i live

[PrinceOfTheWest]

It would be just to the north. The Detroit River flows out of it and the St. Clair River flows into it. If you follow the St. Clair River far enough north, you get to Lake Huron. Right at the head of the river, where the lake flows into it, are the twin cities of Port Huron and Sarnia. That's where I live.

[Red Roses]

wow. we live pretty close

[~Narnia 4 ever~]

I'm in Ottawa, but I plan to move to Picton, Bloomfield, Belleville (Ontario), or Toronto when I'm older.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S NO SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was my first green Christmas, and I didn't like it. I wanted a white Christmas, and I definately think it's not winter if there's no snow. I've been able to walk outside with a light sweater on these past days without a jacket, and not freeze!!! This is just horrible. We really need to do something now about global warming.

[Red Roses]

it kinda snowed a little today

[she-elfwarrior19]

We had freezing rain on Monday, and the schools closed:) The ice was very thick and took time to scrape off vehicles. Its very bitter cold and iwth the windchill its even colder, ahh i love my Canadian Winters..brrrrrrrrr:)

Canada is beautiful. Especially the Niagara Falls. So QA you are going to be lucky :D

[BarbarianKing]

NIAGARA FALLS!!! Slowly I turned.... well you better watch it yourselves.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ9lQe2YoBs

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

I have been there myself on December 31 last year. I made a lot of pics. I love the Falls but I think the town of Niagara is a bit too much like a mini Las Vegas or something

[josie_caspian91]

Oh my gosh!
That is my favorite video!!
:D:D

[BarbarianKing]

NIAGARA FALLS!!! Slowly I turned.... well you better watch it yourselves.

:D:D

You really like that? OMG:eek::eek: We have more in common that we thought. It's one of my favorites too!! You like them Stooges dudes?

[josie_caspian91]

YES. My dad bought a DVD set of them...I watch it every so often with him...you cant stop my laughing.
:D:D

[BarbarianKing]

I can imagine that!! The Three Stooges are awesome!!
I would have been surprised if you had never heard of them with sheepy sillines!!

[josie_caspian91]

My dad and my grandpa introduced them to me when I was still little...wait! Its their fault I turned out this Looney!!!
Oh yeah, we have lots of fun with it :D

[BarbarianKing]

What I know is that you watch the Stooges once, you are hooked, and you turn into one of them!! That happened to you!!!:D

Your grandpa and dad must be proud of you!! I know I am!!:p:D;)

[josie_caspian91]

LOL!
You're proud of little Canadian Sheepy here?! :D:D
YAY!

If it wasnt so late, I would watch some...but then I would be up all night laughing :p

[BarbarianKing]

You're right. I would watch some too. By the way, I try to leave a comment on your video but I don't know if it was posted.:confused:

[josie_caspian91]

YAY COMMENT!

LOL.


But back to the Niagra Fall topic LOL. I've never been to Ontario :( I wish I could though, its so pretty!

[BarbarianKing]

Never been there either, but I can still see it on my map!!

[josie_caspian91]

LOL. YAY for maps :D
I was looking at a map of Russia today :)
How do you like the little Canadian map mah friend?



Has anyone here gone to Prince Edwards Island?!?! Its one of my dream places to go...Anne of Green Gables anyone???

[Rache_san]

My mom is obsessed with Prince Edward Island :rolleyes: She wants to live there... haha. I hear it's a pretty rad place, though =o Never been myself. I've only been to Canada once before. It was so... Yankee XD I would totally kill to be Canadian, though! All Canadians rock :D

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Neither one of you has been to Ontario? You should go and visit it someday!! It's very beautiful. I'm european (and a proud one) and Ontario reminded me of Europe. Outside Toronto I was feeling I as still at home. The houses alongside the highway reminded me of my own Holland but downtown Toronto was typical American style. A mixture of both.

The first pic is the canadian fall and the second one the american. (click to enlarge)

Okay...I have done enough rambling right know. Continue your conversation and pretend I'm not there :cool:
In fact I won't because I'm going to another topic right now

[Copperfox]

I'll still take the United States, because U.S. citizens, when compared to Canadians, have MORE freedom (1) to state their religious and moral convictions, as columnist Mark Steyn can attest, and (2) to defend themselves against predatory criminals when police DON'T arrive in time to do any good.

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

That's something here in the Netherlands should be changed as well. You are NOT allowed to defend yourself in your own home when a criminal attacks you. First something has to be done BEFORE you can do something at all. I understand many people are taking the laws in their own hands. I don't say it's good but I understand.

[josie_caspian91]

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight my friends and I went to the opening of the new movie "Passchendale", the WWI movie with Paul Gross.

Well, let me tell you all...I was in hysterics I was crying so bad, I couldnt breathe I was crying so hard and I was shaking. It is one of the most touching movies, I am aware that it is about war and shouldnt be "beautiful" or "amazing" but it really was.

It was the first movie in a long time that I didnt talk at all...I usually never shut up in movies...this one...shut me up! It was so real, and vivid and almost horrifying seeing it. It was almost like you were there in the trenches with the troops, it really makes you think. I got really emotional because I know that both my Great-Grandpa's lived through it...and I couldnt help but thank God during the movie.

With Rememberance Day coming up next month, I hope many of you will see it. It really puts it into perspective at how horrible the war (and all wars) was. A lot of the audience were older and they were shocked to see 6 teenage girls in the theater, none the less two of them crying like maniacs.

All I can say...it was incredible and Paul Gross was amazing in it.
*beings crying once again :o*

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

One of the movies about the war I really loved was The Pianist. I touched me.
I never cry about movies. The only movie which made me do this was Philadelphia.

[josie_caspian91]

I cried the ENTIRE time through the Pianist. It was, also, a very well made War movie. We watched it last year in Social Studies 11.

One of my dance solos is with music from "Philadelphia" - I havent seen the movie yet though.

It was clear God was watching over him :eek: Even in the end he could have been killed when he was wearing this nazi coat. I liked it even more than Schindler's list which also happened to be a very good movie.

Are you adancer? What dances if I might ask? The movie is very sad. Tom Hanks played wonderful in it. And of course the song by Bruce Springsteen

It was clear God was watching over him :eek: Even in the end he could have been killed when he was wearing this nazi coat. I liked it even more than Schindler's list which also happened to be a very good movie.

I knew that he was going to live, it was just that thinking that life was like that for so many millions of people, it just broke me. Adrien Brody did an amazing job....as much as I cried (my teacher kept asking me if I needed to leave) I almost am tempted to watch it again. Schindlers List - My mom said it was really good, I havent seen it yet. *grabs umbrella*

Yes I am a dancer :D I do Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Modern/contemporary and Musical theater.

[Copperfox]

Janalee and I got to see "The Pianist" while she was still in this world. We were in AGONY when it looked as if the hero was going to be killed by "friendly fire."

But how did a thread about Canada wander this far?

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

You should watch it! Whenever you have time of course ;) It is a great movie. especially at the end when Oscar Schindler breaks down and cried he could have saved more people. He already did :eek: In this movie you will see Itzhak Stern. A miracle happened to him :eek: It's one of the most amazing parts of the whole movie!!! But I'm not going to ruin it for you ;)
Did you see The Pianist at school? I agree...Adrien Brody was amazing. Really amazing.

That's so cool!!! When I was 9 years old I also did ballet. I quit when we moved. Which dance do you enjoy the most?

Edit: Because Josie posted a part about the movie she saw

[josie_caspian91]

LOL.
I was talking about the new movie "Passchendaele" that came out yesterday (I'm not sure if it is playing in the states or not...). Its a Canadian film (shot in Calgary, Alberta and some shots were in France I believe) and was about the battle of Passchendaele in WWI.

I brought up how I was crying so hard that I couldnt breathe and that I was shaking and then MGGT brought up the Pianist.

:D

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

And so we started a nice conversation which I enjoy ;)

Maybe I must look for that movie on the library one day Josie!

[josie_caspian91]

You should! I dont know when its coming out on DVD because its only been out for two days LOL. But when it does...I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT :D:D
It was amazing...just have kleenex ready...just incase. :)

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Then I will keep it in mind!! No, after only two days it wouldn't be on dvd yet. That's too early. Did you go to the theater?

Is there more you would recommend? :D

[josie_caspian91]

Yes we were at the theater last night...:D

Ummm...well I know next month there is a new movie "The Boy In The Striped Pyjama's" coming out. Its another Holocaust movie (wow, I'm really depressing LOL.) and it looks fabulous. I recommend "Swing Kids" (if you havent already seen it)- its about the Hitler Youth and the kids who were against it. That one is another really good war movie.

As you can tell I love history alot...LOL.

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

(((((((Hugs you))))))))!!! We seem to have this in common! I love those kinda movies as well. They are partly based on persons, events and on books. One of the movies I always used to love was The Great escape. It's an old one with Steve mcQueen in it. One of the best movies from the past I think.

I must write those names down. One is going to be released and the other one is released.

No, I haven't seen that one. But it sounds good. Kids are a great subject in movies and especially when they are feeling something isn't right.

[Copperfox]

"Great Escape" is terrific! Sometimes on my long hikes, to keep up my determination to fight to get back my health, I play that movie's theme music in my mind.

[josie_caspian91]

*HUGS!*
Yeah "Swing Kids" was really really good. It shows you about the other side of kids in Germany, the ones who didnt get sucked in by propaganda and who knew it was wrong! I was cheering so loud! LOL.

There is another movie, "Atonement" with Keira Knightley and James McAvoy...that one focuses in on WWII. It has a bit of the Evacutation of Dunkirk and also a small bit about the Blitz at the end. James McAvoy's character plays a Soldier so you follow him throught bits of the war. Its not entirely a war movie, but a beautiful love story. The beach at Dunkirk, was remade all entirely at the original beach in France. Again it shows you what these soldiers put up with! It was really good, bawled my eyes out at that one too :o (BTW: Its also a book, by Ian McEwan)

"The Great Escape"...going to have to go find that one...I dont think I have seen that one :eek:

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Joe....I loved the music! And the part with the motor was brilliant! I felt bad for the blind man who wanted to get away so badly.


Josie dear, you must watch it! This time I highly recommend something :D
Yes the movie with James macAvoy is out now but I haven't seen it yet.
The movie A Bridge too far is about my country. I have seen this famous bridge very often. It's also sad because the really took the wrong bridge.
It's okay to cry! There's nothing wrong with that!

[BarbarianKing]

I know all those movies you guys are talking about. "A Bridge Too Far" is one of my favorites. It's one of the war stories, that made me fall in love the Netherlands!!

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Operation market garden. The mpovie with the great Richard Attenborough.
In dutch it is called Een brug te ver.
The John Frost brug (bridge). My brother Rocco lives in Arnhem which is very near Nijmegen and every year the veterans are invited to come to Arnhem and Nijmegen to remember what happened and then they are honored.


Have you ever been to Nederland Michael?

[BarbarianKing]

Never:( I want to take a trip to Europe next year though. Netherlands is definitely on my list. Including the Anne Frank Museum, and Nijmegen of course.

But since this is a Canadian thread, I after going to Netherlands, I will make a flyover in some Canadian city.;)

[SongsofLife]

I cried the ENTIRE time through the Pianist. It was, also, a very well made War movie. We watched it last year in Social Studies 11.

One of my dance solos is with music from "Philadelphia" - I havent seen the movie yet though.

I was very moved by "The Pianist", although I saw it by mistake. I just thought it was about any old pianist, had no idea what the story was. After seeing it, I read the book, did some research, bought some Polish-produced CDs of the man's music, and made an impromptu trip to LA to hear a singer debut some songs of his she'd recorded, with new lyrics and arrangements. At this concert, I met the pianist's son and grandson! Amazing.

And Philadelphia -- the first time I saw it I sobbed. I saw it again recently, on TV --- no tears this time, tho it is a very compelling movie.

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

If you come to Europe and to the Netherlands give me a sign!!! There is a lot you should see like the Efteling, Oosterschelde kering and of course the Roosevelt academy! You won't regret it ;) I'm planning a trip to the US again for next year if it's possible. A friend of mine wants me to visit LA. And of course I have many great friends I want to meet.

Okay...back to topic......Have you visited Canada? I was glad I did last year!

Edit: SoL...I loved it sooo much! Both movies are worth the oscars!

[SongsofLife]

MGGT -- I agree! They were both powerful cinema.:p
Okay, back to Canada. Last fall for work I traveled to North Bay, Ontario. Anybody been there? I found it absolutely charming. Small town, out in the middle of nowhere, on a big lake, flowers growing EVERYWHERE and the friendliest people I think I have ever met. Although I was there only 5 days, I attended Mass at 4 different churches and had 1 amazing dinner at a lovely bistro on the lake. I would love to go back as a tourist and explore more. Also stopped at a provincial park where the leaves were turning. Majestic and glorious.

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

I have been to Toronto and I have seen lake Ontario. It is indeed very big. And those villages look so lovely. I wish I could go back because I dearly love Canada. The people are very nice and polite. They even guided us when we took the streetcar for the first time :eek:

I will definitely let you know! And you let me know if you come to the LA Area!!

[eggnog]

I have been to Canada. It is nice of what I have seen of it, but that is not much to say. I went in a little way into Ontario. I think Windsor, but, it was still cool! We went under the great lake to get back to Michigan.

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

My brother wants to go to Toronto because he wants to visit the Hockey hall of fame and of course Air Canada Centre. I like the canadians. They are nice and warm people.

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

I want to visit British Columbia and that end of the country.

[SongsofLife]

I want to visit British Columbia and that end of the country.

Me, too. I'd love to visit Victoria, BC!

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

I wanna go to Vancouver! It's just so different fomr everywhere else. I'd love to go there for a year and experience it.
I'd also really like to visit up north, where there aremore natives. See what that's like....Must be even more mysterious since it's more deserted.

[Copperfox]

I hold on to faith, Umbrella, that you will indeed be able to visit British Columbia as you please.

That would be a grand adventure, to be in BC for a year! I loved my visit to North Bay, ON -- 5 hours drive north of Toronto. It was out in the middle of nowhere, rustic and beautiful.

When do you tink you m ight be able to go? :D

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

When do you tink you m ight be able to go? :D
Haha CUUUTE!:D
Well, um...Well if my mom decides she wants to live THERE for some reason...maybe then... or never :|
et vous?

[Copperfox]

Farah, I know that you can resist ideas if you choose to resist them; so resist pessimism! You've told me more than once about your expectation of living on your own someday; so if alone, why not alone IN BRITISH COLUMBIA?

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

But I don't want to live there:|
Not expectation, just..."would be cool"
And ever since...I've decided to just endure and go along with whatever my life is packed with. Til the end.

[Copperfox]

"Till the end," Farah? Then may the (EARTHLY) end be postponed long enough for you to experience better things from God than you perhaps may have been letting yourself hope for in recent months. The better things may be almost ANYTHING; Scripture says that God can do more than we even ask or think.

Aww no! That's ok! I'm ok!:D SEE!:D =D I don't doubt God, i'm just not hoping for much (yeah they ALWAYS say that) or expecting much. I rather that fate does not give me an extension, just cuz...:)

[Copperfox]

It is not blind, meaningless fate in charge of things, dear girl; God is personal, and personally involved.

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

I know, I know...I'm sure He knows that I'm donig alright. I am NOt pessismistic I swear! Do I sound like it?

[Copperfox]

You sounded a little pessimistic, but I'll accept your word that you aren't.

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

I think I just sound like that now. I don't think I know the difference anymore....Thank you.

Vous parlez Francais? Well, it's like this. My next trip has to be to Florida to visit a good friend with whom I used to work. But then, God willing, I am definately due for a fun trip, i.e. with no obligations/have tos. So BC could be the next such trip I plan. We'll see what God provides!

I h ave another travel question for you, but it's off topic for this thread so I'll PM you ;-)

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

Ben oui je parles le francais!
And see Copperfox this is another thing. I'm not sure how to incorporate this with what we were tlaking about and you most likely will not get it either, but I cannot speak french-maning am not able to-at school ect. But with a total stranger woman from Africa who knew only French, I was able to speak PERFECT french. I actually STARTED with French.

ooh....I wanna go to Manhattan so badly. I want a trip to O M G...WHY NOT EUROPE? if you want to go on a trip go to Europe! Oh...I'd like to go to Russia and Austria, Paris...Iceland...Asketh away songs...:}

My high school French Club traveled to Montreal and I did much better speaking French in the department stores there than in the classroom. 10 years late I was blessed to go to Paris for 5 days. And although I hadn't really ussed my French during those 10 years, once I got there it all came back to me and I was able to speak enough French as to gain the respect of most Parisiens!

I've been to Manhattan twice, though I've never seen a Broadway show there. Iceland -- I'd LOVE to visit there. Anywhere, really. I simply love to travel. I can have an adventure almost anywhere. God's world is filled with amazing things to experience and discover, n'est-ce pas?;)

[Copperfox]

Farah, what you described is not so unbelievable. Many years ago, while Mary was with me, a man we knew married a French-speaking woman. The first time I met this woman, although I had not used my former French knowledge for years, I was able at need to remember enough to communicate directly with her at least somewhat--enough to make her feel more at ease.

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

There are so many places I want to visit but I definitely I want to visit Toronto again and this time I will go to the hockey hall of fame and I will visit Toronto Maple Leafs!! I have seen the stadium and even have looked briefly inside but when you are with two (mom) and someone doesn't want to go then you have to negotiate.

[josie_caspian91]

LOL. I've never moved outside of BC to go to anyother part of Canada :( I know that in four years or so I am moving to Toronto for about a year - its school related but still!! I will be at the "National Ballet School" :D:D.

I'm pretty sure some sightseeing will have to be squished into my schedule :p

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Toronto is sooooooooo great! I love this town! You should visit the CN Tower ;) There's a floor made of glass on top of the tower and when you are standing on it you can look below to see the streets :D

YES!!! Then our dear beloved Josie will perform at the royal theaters!!

[josie_caspian91]

My friend is living there right now (She is at the Ballet School) and she loves the CN Tower! She said it was so cool! Its so pretty from the pictures she's shown me!!

LOL - Well maybe. I know I am training there for a year and a half...maybe JUST MAYBE will I be able to perform :D:D Lets hope that maybe comes to be true :D:D

[SongsofLife]

Are you really studying dance? How wonderful! What style of dance is your focus? Are you enjoying studying dance?

Vanexxa -- tickets to the Royal ballet to see her dance. How very fun would that be!?!

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

I absolutely WILL buy tickets for the royal ballet if Josie will make it. I don't doubt it will happen considering she is doing everything to make it ;)

And I'm going back to Toronto for a holiday anyway. I love this city and I love Canada. I have made a lot of pictures while being there. Of course I visited the hockey stadium and I also have done a sight seeing tour :D

[josie_caspian91]

Yes I am studying dance :D
I've been dancing since I was three and a half and I am turning 17 next month :D So...14 years!!
Ballet is my main focus - but that is changing LOL. I am taking more and more Contemporary/Modern classes. I also study Jazz, Lyrical and Musical Theater.
Lets just say Dance is my life and I love love love to study it! :D

Here in Vancouver there are a ton of studios downtown that do like...any dance imaginable...its great :D

I oncec went to a Tony Bennet convert at a hotel where I was staying in Toronto. I was there for a convention of the American Symphony Orchestra League about 20 years ago!

Okay, box seats at the ballet. And we'll get all dressed up. Now as for the hockey game -- Do you prefer to sit right up close to all the fights!?!?

Josie you must have a gift to have been dancing all these years. How wonderful! I would love to dance. So expressive. I once saw American football player Herschel Walker dance in a ballet, and I had season tickets that year. What a treaet.

[josie_caspian91]

Aww thank you Songs :o
That would have been a treat to see him in a ballet!! Lucky you!

Confession time: I've never been to a hockey game...ever :o LOL. I dont live up to the Canadian stereotype (then again I dont have an igloo either LOL LOL) :p

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Songs...I think I will have a seat in front :D But not too close. Suppose they hit their stick through the window :eek: I really WANT to visit a game!!! It's my dream :D Josie...the guy in my siggy and avy is not someone who lives in an iglo either. He is way too big ;)


My niece always has been into ballet but she is a painter right now. And I agree! Josie is very talented and it's good she is not focused on only one thing but because she studies more she can more easily try something else as well.

[SongsofLife]

ooh painting. To keep in line with this thread, does youe niece emulate any Canadian painters?!? lol

And right-o about Josie studying lots of types of dance. That will make you !more versatile, Josie!

[josie_caspian91]

Songs...I think I will have a seat in front But not too close. Suppose they hit their stick through the window I really WANT to visit a game!!! It's my dream Josie...the guy in my siggy and avy is not someone who lives in an iglo either. He is way too big


LOL - Yay Lindros! My mom and her friend were talking about him the other day for some reason - cant remeber why but I thought of you LOL. :D

Aww thank you both for your confidence in my dancing :o:)

[SongsofLife]

Ooh I just had a great idea. Maybe Eric Lindross will dance in the ballet with Josie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or maybe ice dancing?!?!?! lol

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Hahahahahahahaha! I don't know if he can dance :D He is soo huge but fast on the ice :D He might teach me how to skate (I already can skate..every dutch is taught how to skate but he doesn't know that ;) )

[josie_caspian91]

LOL!!!

I could whip out my old ice skates (from when I took lessons) and we could Ice Dance together!!!! :D:D I studied that for two years in between dance lessons LOL.

AAAHAHHHAA. I think the Ballet would be Epic though :D:D

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

You should teach me ice dancing so I can dance with him :D

[josie_caspian91]

OK!!!
:D
If you come out to Toronto when I am there I shall teach you Nessa :D

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

*dances around from joy* YEAH!!! Josie is going to teach me :D I'm going to be taught by one of the best!! :D

[SongsofLife]

oh this is shaping up swimmingly ladies! Josie, maybe you can teach me too -- the dancing part, not the skating part! I ice-skated once in my life, in Montreal, and sprained my wrist. No skating since then!
Here's a link to an article about Herschel's dancing stint. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DEFD71E3DF932A25757C0A96E9482 60 Maybe it will give us some tips for getting this set up between Eric and the Royal Ballet.:D Yay yay yay yay yay *pirouettes in her imagination!*

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

If Eric will ever participate I will buy tickets front seat as close as possible :D
It's a dream to meet him :D

But if Josie is going to perform on stage and I am in Toronto I will go and see her on stage!!

[shortangel]

i've got 2 books on Canada and i've been reading alot about this country, when i was about 9 years before you had to have a passport to get to Canada i went to B.C with my grama, my aunt & uncle & 2 cousins, i don't even remember when i saw there though :)

[umbrellaxscenexcore]

Josie you live in toronto?

[Copperfox]

I seem to recall Josie making a reference to British Columbia.

[josie_caspian91]

I live in B.C :D:D

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

My niece is in BC right now. She will return early January

[josie_caspian91]

Where in BC is she staying?

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Near Vancouver. She turned 20 two days ago and went there because of school.

[josie_caspian91]
