We are weird.
One of my friends sent me this message on the morning of Australia Day, just before I became an Australian citizen: "G'day mate. Welcome to Australia. Home."
And being able to officially considering Australia home has indeed been great so far. The only problem I now have is the fact that I cannot really complain about Australians anymore. Michelle and I had a chat the other day and I said, "Australians are weird." I paused for a moment, then correct myself. "Us Australians are weird, I mean."
Saying that is definitely not as much fun though. But apart from that, being an Aussie has been totally awesome and stuff. As the kids around here would say.

Great pic... and you are lucky to have such friends. I had no friends or family at my citizenship ceremony :(

Thank you- I am very lucky indeed.
That's sad that you didn't have any friends at your ceremony. I would have come to it. :-)

I love that high-waisted belt on you.
If you turn your head, by the way, the flag is right-side up. It's all a matter of perspective.
Congratulations. It's a great feeling, isn't it?

Not that we Kiwis are weird like you ozzies or anything ... though!

Mystic- You've got it: I was holding it for my friends who are not down under.
Sera- That's exactely right- matter of perspective. I don't let details like that stop me!
Jerry- Hahaha, that would technically mean I'm also the ugliest Australian you know. As I'm the only one. But I let you get away with it because you're such a charmer.
Aggs- Whether you stand on your head or not, the fact remains that you Kiwis are just as weird as us Aussies! Don't deny it.
