I recently went to Sydney again to go see the wrestling. You see on TV and everything they say how beautiful Sydney is and it's like the coração of Australia...I saw differently though. Here are a few things.

Looking for the newest Aussie actress to watch-out for? Well, I think I’ve found her.

So recently, a fellow fanpopper Snerkie posted a soapbox artigo entitled “Sydney = Overrated”. If you haven’t read that article, you may have to in order to get what I’m saying. To start, My name is Ali, I’m 17 and I live in Sydney.

THIS IS VERY URGENT AND NOT A JOKE! ALSO DON'T GOOF OFF!!!!

I really mean it! What would you be able to do if SOPA/TPP censors the internet? What would you be able to do if composição literária fanfics and drawing fanarts become illegal? What would you do if it's illegal to do a cover of your favorito song on YouTube? What would you do if downloading things from the internet (music, movies, TV episodes, etc) became illegal?
