I used to be able to sing well, but now I can't. :embarassed:

Oh god, should I or shouldn't I? What if I suck?!

Hmm... Josh? :rolleyes:

8 Don't Look Back Into The Sun - The Libertines

*Bump* C'mon fellow Aussies! We must keep this thread alive! I just found this and had a bit of a chuckle... Australia We, the people of a free nation of blokes, sheilas and the occasional wanker. We come from many lands (although a few too many of us come from New Zealand) and although we live in the best country in the world, we reserve the right to bitch and moan about it whenever we bloody like. We are One Nation but divided into many States. First, there's Victoria, named after a queen who didn't believe in lesbians. Victoria is the realm of Mossimo turtlenecks, cafe latte, grand final day and big horse races. Its capital is Melbourne, whose chief marketing pitch is that "it's liveable". At least that's what they think. The rest of us think it is too bloody cold and wet. Next, there's NSW, the realm of pastel shorts, macchiato with sugar, thin books read quickly and millions of dancing queens. Its capital, Sydney has more queens than any other city in the world and is proud of it. Its mascots are Bondi lifesavers who pull their Speedos up their cracks to keep the left and right sides of their brains separate. Down south we have Tasmania, a State based on the notion that the family that bonks together stays together. In Tassie, everyone gets an extra chromosome at conception. Maps of the State bring smiles to the sternest faces. It holds the world record for a single mass shooting, which the Yanks can't seem to beat no matter how often they try. South Australia is the province of half decent reds, a festival of foreigners and bizarre axe murders. SA is the state of innovation. Where else can you so effectively reuse country bank vaults and barrels as in Snowtown, just out of Adelaide (also named after a queen). They had the Grand Prix, but lost it when the views of Adelaide sent the Formula One drivers to sleep at the wheel. Western Australia is too far from anywhere to be relevant. Its main claim to fame is that it doesn't have daylight saving because if it did, all the men would get erections on the bus on the way to work. WA was the last State to stop importing convicts and many of them still work there in the government and business. The Northern Territory is the red heart of our land. Outback plains, sheep stations the size of Europe, Kangaroos, Jackaroos, Emus, Uluru and dusty kids with big smiles. It also has the highest beer consumption of anywhere on the planet and its creek beds have the highest aluminium content of anywhere too. Although the Territory is the centre piece of our national culture, few of us live there and the rest prefer to fly over it on our way to Bali. And there's Queensland. While any mention of God seems silly in a document defining a nation of half arsed sceptics, it is worth noting that God probably made Queensland as its beautiful one day and perfect the next. Why he filled it with dickheads remains a mystery. Oh yes and there's Canberra. Oh well.....lets leave it at that. We, the citizens of Oz, are united by Highways, whose reacherous twists and turns kill more of us each year than murderers. We are united in our lust for international recognition, so desperate for praise we leap in joy when a rag tag gaggle of corrupt IOC officials tells us Sydney is better than Beijing. We are united by a democracy so flawed that a political party, albeit a redneck gun toting one, can get a million votes and still not win one seat in Federal Parliament. Not that we're whingeing, we leave that to our Pommy immigrants. We want to make "no worries mate" our national phrase, "she'll be right mate" our national attitude and "Waltzing Matilda" our national anthem (So......what if it's about a sheep-stealing crim who commits suicide). We love sport so much our news readers can read the death toll from a sailing race and still tell us who's winning. And we're the best in the world at all the sports that count, like cricket, netball, rugby league and union, AFL, roo shooting, two up and horse racing. We also have the biggest rock, the tastiest pies, the blackest aborigines and the worst dressed Olympians in the known universe. Only in Australia can a pizza delivery get to your house faster than an ambulance. Only in Australia do we have bank doors wide open, no security guards or cameras but chain the pens to the desk.... Stand proud Aussies. We shoot, we root, we vote. We are girt by sea and pissed by lunchtime. Even though we might seem a racist, closed minded, sports obsessed little people, at least we feel better for it. You are, I am, we are Australian

You like you're having fun! Very cool :cool:

Meat pie :)

Yep, that's them! They give Colac a bad name, lol.

Home and Away sucks but I really like Neighbors. It would be better without the Timmons family though.

Ripcord - Radiohead

That's cool Grace! I love Grace Kelly <3 Mine is Louise :)

Fascinating stuff.

I agree. The second one all the way!

Lol, that would've been interesting. Must remember that for my grad! I already have an idea in my mind of who would be the epicentres hehe. Someones grumpy... :blush::uhoh:

Haha I hate that show but I'll sign it anyway for you :D

I don't usually write poetry but I had to write a poem for English yesterday on the Holocaust and I'm quite proud of it. :) Nothing seems tangible when you’re treated like swine Given a small ration and shoved into line Oblivious to the future that lies ahead “Arbeit Macht Frei” the sign had said This leaves me with only one indication I must show some decorum or else face extermination The resentment I feel now for every gentile Is disguised by keeping docile. The truth is illuminated by this incarceration. They will cover their tracks with careful sedation. My childhood quickly disappears without a trace As they strangulate me into their sinister embrace. When I look through the window of tomorrow I see nothing has been changing It’ll still be all sorrow. Hopefully time will strip my away my agony and liberation will be my only melody.

Oh please kill oh don't kill me but don't bring that ghost 'round to my door I wouldn't wanna see him anymore baby please kill me don't kill me but don't bang on about yesterday you know i wouldn't wanna know about that anyway

Hmm I absolutely adore life in Australia but otherwise I'd say Italy. I would love to live in the Northern Italian region of Trentino for the culture and the food and the people. My father was born in a tiny village there and the way he describes growing up their sounds so surreal.

Hehe thanks :) Madeline is a fictional children's tv show character. She is a little girl who attends a boarding school in Paris. It is the best show!! :D

The MacGyver Themesong :cool: (homemade)

Haha I remember that one. I always think they can't do anything worse than the previous episodes but they always go a step further (in a good/funny way I mean)! :D

My home eco and LOTE teachers went off their nutters at me today. :cry:

:D **Hi5!** I see they have a high play count in your siggy for last.fm. Respect.

Woah Josh, you were so close! I have to show my best friend those, she'll be so jealous haha.

Josh, that is so cool! Lucky, lucky girl! I haven't seen them live before but I wouldn't mind doing so.
