Phew! I was just thinking someone had to do Maori, but since I don't actually know anything more than what I was taught in primary school, I would have needed to resort to online dictionaries or something, and that way lies madness. And bad grammar.

not by any means my best language - they didn't teach it in primary when I was a kid! so bad grammar is still a possiblity.

I note you're in Wgtn - not off at the NatCon this weekend?

What I learnt in primary school was, like, counting up to ten and a couple of stick game songs. I'm pretty sure it's taught a bit more comprehensively now. At least, it should be!

I'm from Wellington, but not living there at the moment. (I'm in Auckland; I know, Why?)

I'm kind of temping and contracting and looking for new jobs at the moment, so when it came time to book ticket and stuff for the con, I couldn't be sure that I'd be free (or, y'know, have any kind of income) to be able to go. And while Elizabeth Moon would have been awesome, there wasn't anything else in the guest list that made me excited (and the schedule of events wasn't put up until, like, two weeks ago, so I had no idea what else was planned.)

I'll probably go next year, though!
