You know how you will often hear someone trying to speak in a British accent or an Australian accent or really any other accent than an American one? Well, my world was flipped upside down last night when I was waiting to cross the street with some of the Aussies and they started mimicking what I was saying. "Oh my God, at college, I was dying when..." was said about 5 different times by the three girls I was with. I never ever thought anyone would want/try to sound like a New Yorker, or a Long Islander for that matter but apparently it is quite an entertaining accent to try out. I personally think the Australian accent wins any day, but for now, its pretty amusing to hear the girls speak the way I do.
And by the way, I am ''Ari'' to all of the Aussies. Haven't heard that nickname in a while, but whatever works!
I like the name "Ari"! You sound like you are doing well. Tell them that when I graduated college I thought the word for the entrance way before the main part of our house was "foya" because that is what Aunt Brenda called it through out my life -- "Put your coats in the FOYA." she would tell us. Do you remember? Until I described out house to someone during my first job at Ted Bates Advertising and told them that I grew up with a house that had a foya! I learned very quickly after the laughter died down that the correct name is a foyer
