Hey :D we seem to have stuck a cord with each other :D
Cool.
I've seen Alpacas and Llamas in the wild when I lived in South America (Paraguay) as a kid. Of course back then I had no idea what they were but see them I did - mostly when we'd drive to Peru or Bolivia.
Ironically here in England you'd think I'd be miles away from Llamas, but in fact they introduced them round here (south east) to keep sheep temperaments calm. Apparently Llamas and sheep work well together so every so often you can pass by a field of sheep and see a few Llamas lurking about. Quite odd really :D I'll have to take some piccies for you.
As for Australia - yeah wonderful place. I have a pic of some wildlife I'll try and dig them out and upload them. Actually I say Australia really I only saw Melbourne and the surrounding area. I couldn't possibly claim to have 'been' to Australia really, it's so vast, and the pics of these animals I'm afraid are from animal sanctuaries I visited - didn't see much in the wild. Except Possums! Which are hyper cute and hang around in trees waiting for food. They're funky aswell really tame and they let you stroke them. They kinda hang on trees like spiderman does! Really funny.
Ok I'll see what I can dig up :D
And goats! Man goats are funny - don't they just make you laugh. The way they sneeze! Cracks me up! Do you know if you do the sign of the devil y'know that kind of Rock hand gesture with the fore finger and the little finger extended and made into a fist, well if you do that in front of a goat, they go into 'head butting' mode. Really funny creatures.

I caught Gekos and saw a cobra in Australia (it had been defanged though). Wallabies are kind of cute, plus driving interstate you have to have Roo bars on your car, otherwise you might run over a Kangeroo and it comes through the windscreen and kicks everyone to death.
Kangeroos have a dark side.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

CallMeSerenity.
Here are some pictures of some Australian animals. I wished I could have seen more. However I'm kinda glad I didn't see any snakes like Citizen did. Actually I saw a dead one at the side of the road but that's about it.

This little fella is actually asleep in this pose. They use their long tail for balance and stability. Amazing. Liked these guys alot, been meaning to do a cartoon version of these.

Not the best shot as her face is covered by her front paws. This one is a female about 18months old and she was really friendly and playfull and loved rolling about in the dirt. However when she matures and tends to the serious matter of motherhood her temperamanet changes, apparently, and she will become alot more wary. Still bloody cute though... *Sorry Steve Irwin moment*
Hope you like :D

There's not enough hours in the day, especially when people keep you doing things that take all your limited free time of a night. At least I got to watch Lost. Now I have an hour before bedtime. Bah.
My car's okay, Alison - shut up Alison! oops, sorry, habit - but it's making a funny noise. And I think the brakes are getting a bit soft. Needs a service and general checkup. It's MOT time in exactly a month, so I hope it lasts till then so I can get paid and afford to get it seen to.
Bloody thing.

Yay! Pictures! Thanks for sharing!!
That wombat is so very cute! And I love Meerkats. Okay, I love most animals, but Australia does seem to have more than its alloted share of adorable and interesting creatures!
If you do a wombat cartoon, I would very much like to see it.
And, in other things:
I have a Question for you SerenityConners:
I'm curious as to what a typical S3 day is going to be like. Can you give me an idea as to what the itinerary would be? I'm just very curious becuase I'm having a hard time imagining it all in my head. I doubt the actual itinerary (if there is one) would be up yet, I just want an idea is all.
Thanks!

I can point you in the direction of the old one if that helps at all. Just give me a sec to find it. As a general rule I would say expect to sleep little. Too much happens to sleep, too many people to see and things to do and oh yeah waiting around. But its fun waiting coz you're waiting with your friends!
Bear with me a mo whilst I find the itinary I know I have saved on my puter somewhere.......

Umm, yeah. I can't find it. But here's a rough idea taken from what I remember!
Fri
- Arrive, check in, meet Browncoats, go to bar.
- 8ish. Opening ceremony. Guests introduced, surprises announced should there be any! etc.
- 10ish. Party. Theme to be arranged.
- 2am. Main hall closes we gp to bed but can't sleep coz we're too excited about having our pictures taken with Jewel/Morena/Sean. Delete as applicable!
Sat
Last time the photo sessions happened in the morning from 9. And the autograph sessions happened in the afternoon from 4:30-7. When you're not doing these things you're mostly just sitting, laughing, getting lunch, etc.
- Fancy dress in the evening, which I missed due to pizza consumption!
- Then party -2. Again theme to be arranged.
- Bed/hotel floor party!
Sun
Pretty much the same as Sat. Autos and photos. Morning and afternoon.
- 8ish. Closing ceremony where it gets very sad.
- Party -2.
- Bed, probably not in the hotel coz of getting kicked out the night before after the floor party!. Can't sleep coz of the realisation that it's over and we can't do it again!
Hope that helps CMS.

It's hard to decide whether the most fun is in the scheduled or unscheduled stuff. This time, I intend to be awake and sane for most of the weekend.
They make pills that keep you awake for 60 hours straight right?
And also pills that make you sane?
