your blog doesn't show up when there's a new post in my dashboard or whatever it is when blogs show up! Wierd!
I've actually listened to some of those from out of the states [new zealand, london and Australia] and they ALL say TPing too. I don't even know what else you would call it. But they DID have different words for everything else, like a shopping cart was a "trolley" and they called soda "fizzy drink". This is a great culture shock.
All that being said, I haven't been ignoring your updates. I actually just got all of them put on my feed! I'm a little annoyed about it, but oh well. Expect quite a few comments from me today. =]
